The Double Smoothed Stochastics by Walter Bressert came after William Blau presented his version of the Double Smoothed Stochastics in 1991. Both indicators are widespread in the trading community, but they use different algorithms. While William Blau applied separate smoothing to numerator and denominator, Walter Bressert simply applied the Stochastics %K line to itself. Applying the Stochastics twice leads to an acceleration of the running pattern. Furthermore the Double Stochastics is smoother when compared to the classic Stochastics and generates signals more frequently.
The Double Stochastics by Walter Bressert ships with NinjaTrader as in-built indicator. This version of the Stochastics adresses a few issues of the NinjaTrader default indicator:
- The default indicator has preset the %K line smoothing to 3, value which cannot be changed.
- The default indicator does not have a signal line.
- The default indicator can only be applied to price, but cannot be applied to other indicators.
This version allows for setting the smoothing period for the %K line, comes with a signal line and maybe applied to other indicators as input series.
