The stochastic() is a generic S3 function that builds upon 'type-safe'-esque workflows limited to classes in in base R, and the package-wide dependencies. Ie. class in, class out. Each method is a soft wrapper of model.frame and therefore the OHLC-V series must be coercible to a data.frame.

Usage

stochastic(x, cols, fastk = 5, slowk = SMA(n = 10), slowd = SMA(n = 8), ...)

Arguments

x

An OHLC-V series that is coercible to data.frame.

cols

(formula). An optional 3 variable formula passed into model.frame. Internally uses ~high + low + close by default.

fastk

(integer). Period for the fast-k line.

slowk

(list). Period and Moving Average (MA) type for the slow-k line. SMA by default.

slowd

(list). Period and Moving Average (MA) type for the slow-d line. SMA by default.

...

Additional parameters passed into model.frame

Value

An object of same class and length of x:

SlowK

double

SlowD

double

## calculate the indicator
## for Bitcoin (BTC)
output <- talib::stochastic(BTC)
