STOCHF

This method calculates the Fast Stochastic.

var STOCHF(fastKPeriod, fastDPeriod, maType, highPricesArray, lowPricesArray, closePricesArray, calculatedFastKArray, calculatedFastDArray);

fastKPeriod

Fast K period integer value.

fastDPeriod

Fast D period integer value.

maType

One of the Moving Average constants.

highPricesArray

Array object filled with high prices.

lowPricesArray

Array object filled with low prices.

closePricesArray

Array object filled with close prices.

calculatedFastKArray

Empty Array object that will be filled with fast K calculated data.

calculatedFastDArray

Empty Array object that will be filled with fast D calculated data.

Returns true if calculation was completed successfully, or false otherwise.

The following example demonstrates how to use STOCHF method.

function calculate(beginIndex, endIndex)

{

var fastKPeriod = 15;

var fastDPeriod = 5;

var maType = TechnicalAnalysis.MA_EMA;

var highPricesArray = new Array();

var lowPricesArray = new Array();

var closePricesArray = new Array();

//populate arrays..

var calculatedFastKArray = new Array();

var calculatedFastDArray = new Array();

var rc = TechnicalAnalysis.STOCHF(fastKPeriod, fastDPeriod, maType, highPricesArray, lowPricesArray,

closePricesArray, calculatedFastKArray, calculatedFastDArray);

}
