Arguments

Description

fpctkdcalculates the stochastic oscillator.

[pctk,pctd] = fpctkd(highp,lowp,closep)calculates the fast stochastics F%K and F%D from the stock price datahighp(high prices),lowp(low prices), andclosep(closing prices).

[pctk,pctd] = fpctkd([highp lowp closep])accepts a three-column matrix of high (highp), low (lowp), and closing prices (closep), in that order.

[pctk,pctd] = fpctkd(highp,lowp,closep,kperiods,dperiods,dmamethod)calculates the fast stochastics F%K and F%D from the stock price datahighp(high prices),lowp(low prices), andclosep(closing prices).kperiodssets the %K period.dperiodssets the %D period.

damethodspecifies the %D moving average method. Valid moving average methods for %D are Exponential ('e') and Triangular ('t'). Seetsmovavgfor explanations of these methods.

[pctk,pctd]= fpctkd([highp lowp closep],kperiods,dperiods,dmamethod)accepts a three-column matrix of high (highp), low (lowp), and closing prices (closep), in that order.

pkdts = fpctkd(tsobj,kperiods,dperiods,dmamethod)calculates the fast stochastics F%K and F%D from the stock price data in the financial time series objecttsobj.tsobjmust minimally contain the seriesHigh(high prices),Low(low prices), andClose(closing prices).pkdtsis a financial time series object with similar dates totsobjand two data series namedPercentKandPercentD.

pkdts = fpctkd(tsobj,kperiods,dperiods,dmamethod,'ParameterName',ParameterValue, ...)accepts parameter name/parameter value pairs as input. These pairs specify the name(s) for the required data series if it is different from the expected default name(s). Parameter values are the character vectors that represent the valid parameter names.
