KST Oscillator

[Mark Rockley]

I have just read about the KST oscillator in the latest Active Trader. Does anyone have the formula for this or better yet the efs file for it? Thanks.

Hi Mark,

Which month are you referring too? I have Feb. 2003 in front of me and don't see anything on KST Oscillator. Perhaps the March edition is now out and I haven't received it yet.

Let me know which month and the page the article is on and I'll look into it for you.

Regards,
Andy

Thanks Andy. Actually it is the March issue p.51. It is apparently quite effective but who knows until you try it.

I don't currently have the March edition, but will look into this once I receive.

Take Care,

Thanks very much. I have found references to this in competitor
products but it tends to use their own non-script language, so I am not
really sure what they are doing.

Thanks again,
Mark

Hello Mark Rockley,

KST (Know Sure Thing) is Martin Prings formula, it is basically a weighted sum of the moving averages of several different lengths of the percentage rate of change. The formula I've used in Metastock is:

(Mov(Roc(C,10,%),10,S)*1) + (Mov(Roc(C,15,%),10,S)*2) + (Mov(Roc (C,20,%),10,S)*3) + (Mov(Roc(C,30,%),15,S)*4)

If you're not familar with Metastock formula language it is:

1 times the 10 period MA of the 10 period percentage ROC +
2 times the 10 period MA of the 15 period percentage ROC +
3 times the 10 period MA of the 20 period percentage ROC +
4 times the 10 period MA of the 30 period percentage ROC +

This formula uses simple MAs (the "S" in the formula), but you could also use EMAs.

Seems like it would be pretty easy to convert into an .efs file, but I'm not that fluid in writing .efs files yet.

Hope this helps.

Mark,

I was poking around in file share and came across the mov_roc.efs formula, which is basically the same as the KST. Although some of the values are a little different, you can modify them to what you want.

Here's the description:
This indicator is based on ROC. it calculated asMov(ROC(C,6,%),10,S)*1) + (Mov(ROC(C,10,%),10,S)*2) + (Mov(ROC(C,15,%),8,S)*3) + (Mov(ROC(C,20,%),15,S)*4)
