Program 39 – Stochastics for multiple symbols

Program 39 uses the Price Series Provider to calculate and plot stochastic oSlowD for eleven symbols. The program works on intra-day bars and daily charts and was developed in TradeStation 9.0.

The examples below are based on FOREX symbols, but it will also work with futures or equities.

The advantage of using the Price Series Provider is that the indicator can be applied to one specific symbol while providing stochastic information about others. The same result could be achieved by using multiple data streams but the time taken to set up the chart is much longer.

The program is unprotected so you can potentially modify it to use other analysis techniques or use it as a model for your own indicator.

Program 39 workspace with program 39 applied to a 30 minute and daily GBPUSD chart.

The user defines the symbols to be analyzed by entering symbol names in the program inputs (see below).

Some of program 39’s inputs

The symbols are entered in quotes, e.g. “GBPUSD.” The symbol does not have to include the symbol of the chart that the indicator is applied to, however, to include the symbol for the chart one of the inputs can be made GetSymbolName.

In this example I have used Forex symbols, any valid symbol can be used (provided to subscribe to the relevant data feed). The additional symbols are assumed to have the same bar length as the chart to which the indicator is applied.

The user may also determine whether a plot is drawn for a particular symbol by using the _Plot0 to _Plot10 inputs. So, assuming the indicator were applied a chart with the same symbol inputs as those in the image to the right, if _Plot1 were set to true and _Plot2 were set to false then the oSlowD would be plotted for EURUSD but would not be plotted for AUDUSD.

The other inputs are StochLength, SmoothingLength1, SmoothingLength2, SmoothingType, OverSold, and OverBought.
