Apply a Stochastic Oscillator Indicator

The stochastic oscillator provides information about the location of a current close in relation to the period's high and low. It ranges between 0% and 100%. A reading of 0% indicates that the close was the lowest price at which the security traded during the preceding x number of time periods. A reading of 100% indicates that the close was the highest price at which the security traded during the preceding x number of time periods.

NOTE: You can specify the method (SMA, WMA or EMA), observation period, period of slow average and period of fast average when you create the study.
