What Is the Stochastic Oscillator?
The stochastic oscillator measures where the latest close sits relative to a recent high-low range.
Why it matters

How it is used in NotifyTrader
NotifyTrader calculates stochastic %K and %D using a 14 period and 3 signal period. The values are stored in technical analysis snapshots for assistant context.
What stochastic measures
Stochastic is built around the idea that strong markets often close near the top of their recent range, while weak markets often close near the bottom.
%K is the faster line. %D is a smoothed signal line. Together they can describe short-term momentum shifts.
How to interpret it
High stochastic readings can mean price is closing near recent highs. Low readings can mean price is closing near recent lows.
Like RSI, high or low readings do not guarantee reversal. Trending markets can stay stretched.
How NotifyTrader uses it
The assistant can use stochastic to add short-term momentum context when discussing symbols, especially when RSI and MACD give mixed signals.
It is best used as a supporting signal rather than the main conclusion.

FAQ
