[amibroker] Stochastics

I am reviewing the descriptions of how stochastics are calcualted 
using the AFL functions STOCHK and STOCHD and am once again confused.

STOCHK "calculates the %K line of the Stochastic Oscillator (with 
internal slowing 3)".

Typically, Fast Stochastics (%K) typically has no slowing (I am 
assuming that "slowing" here means moving average). Is this a 
typographical error or am I missing something? What is meant 
by "smoothing"?

Further, if this is a moving average "slowing" is it a simple MA or 
is it exponential?

Same questions for the STOCHD function. (However, here it is standard 
to do a three day smoothing.)

Can anyone help me here?

Thanks

Bill
