The Stochastic Oscillator is a powerful tool for identifying flat market conditions. When the market is flat, the indicator line and signal line converge, typically settling around the values of 45 and 55. This convergence is akin to a tightened Bollinger Band, and the critical value of this tightening is determined by half of the band's width. This parameter can be adjusted to suit specific market conditions.
Input Parameters:
- uint flat = 100; // flat size in points
This indicator was originally implemented in MQL4 and made available to the public in 2026.
