What SteadyEdge calculates

This page documents the exact runtime calculation for the listed filter IDs. Formula symbols use O , H , L , C , and V for the current candle open, high, low, close, and volume; p is the configured lookback.

- Registry filter IDs: stochastic

Exact formula

HH_t = max(H_(t-p+1), ..., H_t)

LL_t = min(L_(t-p+1), ..., L_t)

rawK = 100 * (C_t - LL_t) / (HH_t - LL_t)

K = SMA(rawK, smooth_k)

if HH_t = LL_t: rawK = 50

Parameters, defaults, and bounds

- period_k : default 14 ; 1–100

- smooth_k : default 1 ; 1–20

How the rule passes

above requires a strict > comparison.

below requires a strict < comparison.

Data, timing, and warm-up

Candle filters use the rule timeframe and the latest candle at or before the evaluation time. A non-finite calculated value does not pass.

Every rule in the same filter set must pass. Test Filters and a backtest validate the complete set.
