File Name: strStochCrsvr.efs

Description:
Stochastic Crossover

Formula Parameters:
nLength : 7
nSmoothing : 1
nDLength : 3
Overbought : 80
Oversold : 20


Notes:
This back testing strategy generates a long trade at the Open of the following
bar when the %K line crosses below the %D line and both are above the Overbought level.
It generates a short trade at the Open of the following bar when the %K line
crosses above the %D line and both values are below the Oversold level.
