0. AD - an indicator of accumulation and distribution of volume.
1. OBV - On Balance Volume.
2. Volume - tick volume indicator.
3. AC - indicator of acceleration.
4. AO - Williams' oscillator.
5. BullsPower.
6. BearsPower.
7. BullsPower-BearsPower - the difference of the bulls power and bears power.
8. Force - Force Index indicator.
9. MFI - Money Flow Index.
10. ATR - Average True Range.

1. The main line of the indicator - buffer 5.
2. The rising line of the indicator - buffer 0.
3. The falling the line indicator - buffer 1.
4. The signal line of the indicator - buffer 2.

Inputs

1. Calc_Method - the index of the indicator, based on which the Stochastic will be calculated (from 0 to 19). By default, i.e. more than 19 - the standard one based on Low/High prices, with Simple averaging.
2. KPeriod - external parameters of Stochastic.
3. DPeriod - external parameters of Stochastic.
4. Slowing - external parameters of Stochastic.
5. Periods - the period for calculating the basic indicator, based on which Stochastic will be calculated.
6. Fast_Period - the fast MA period of the basic indicator (for example MACD), based on which Stochastic will be calculated.
7. Slow_Period - the slow MA period of the basic indicator.
8. Signal_Period - the signal line period of the basic indicator.
9. MA_Method - averaging method for the MA of the basic indicator:
1. MODE_SMA - 0.
2. MODE_EMA - 1.
3. MODE_SMMA - 2.
4. MODE_LWMA - 3.
10. Signal_Method - The averaging method of the signal line of the Stochastic:
1. MODE_SMA - 0.
2. MODE_EMA - 1.
3. MODE_SMMA - 2.
4. MODE_LWMA - 3.
11. Applied_Price - the used price of the basic indicator:
1. PRICE_CLOSE - 0.
2. PRICE_OPEN - 1.
3. PRICE_HIGH - 2.
