Re: Oversold and Overbought Time

EXAMPLE:
In Nasdaq 100, the mean overbought time above level 70 for
stochd() is calculated 25 days in totally 390, i.e. ~6.5%.
The mean oversold time below 30 is 31 days and if we want
the same percentage we must decrease the level 30.
In fact, if we place 26 instead of 30, we get ~6.6%.
If the basic thought is correct, then we will have more reliable
results if we consider 26/70 levels.
