Are these 
formulas the same?

StochRSIAll,An interesting article by Thom 
Hartle appeared in the May issue of Active Trader magazine. In it, he 
discussed combining the Stochastic and RSI into one indicator, calledthe 
StochRSI. The rationale is this:  oscillators are most effectivein 
non-trending markets because they oscillate above and below the 30/70 
lines where they correspond to swing highs and lows. However, in trending 
markets, the oscillators often shift, skewing to the low side in down 
markets and to the upside in up markets. To adjust for that, Chande used 
the basic stochastic calculation but plugged in RSI values for the price 
values. The result was an oscillator that did not skew as the market 
trended. When the StochRSI is used in combination with MACD, which 
shows a trend, the result gives apparently much clearer buy and sell 
signals. I haven't coded the information into AFL yet, but it seems 
quite straightforward. I'm sure Dimitris would be able to do it in 5 
minutes! Check out the article "When two oscillators are better than 
one" by T. Hartle, Active Trader, vol. 3, no. 5, pp. 48-53. Al
