Hi,

JavaDoc only lists the return value of the stochastic oscillator as a double []. Can you specify what is passed in the array elements?

For example, I am using

Current_Stoch = indicators.stoch(instrument, period, side, fastKPeriod, slowKPeriod , slowKMaType,
slowDPeriod, slowDMaType, shift );

what will be Current_Stoch[0], Current_Stoch[1],Current_Stoch[2], .. etc.?


I was checking JavaDoc and for none of the indicators, the return value has been described. I might be missing a better description of the indicators but I could not find any. I only found the stochastic strategy example on Wiki, even there we are not told what the return values are.

Can you help?

Thanks,

You can retrieve indicator metadata the following way:

Thanks for the quick response. I will look at that page.

I don`t know if you get further with the linked page, but this one describes it better, IMHO:
https://www.dukascopy.com/wiki/#Indicato ... r_by_shift

So if you use the shift parameter, the 1st element in the array is the indicator value of the current bar. The 2nd element is the previous bar, etc.

From my experience I can say that it is always good the create a very simple strategy with the required indicator, and compare the strategy`s output with the indicator on the chart. With that you can be sure that you are using the correct parameters for the indicator. More on this at: https://www.dukascopy.com/wiki/#Add_indi ... de_in_OHLC
