Stochastic Momentum multi Str.

The Stochastic Momentum Index ( Stoch ) normalizes price as a percentage between 0 and 100. Normally two lines are plotted, the %K line and a moving average of the %K which is called %D. A slow stochastic can be created by initially smoothing the %K line with a moving average before it is displayed. The length of this smoothing is set in the Slow K Period. Without the initial smoothing ( i.e., setting the Slow K Period to a value of 1 ) the %K becomes the 'Raw %K' value, and is also known as a fast stochastic .
