The Stochastics oscilator-indicator has
nothing to do with Stochastic or the word Stochastic that is used in all types
of things and industries etc.
And Stochastic should not be confused with
stochastics oscilators-indicators used in technical analysis. It is unique
to technical analysis.
The indicator was made and being used a
little. But it was not named stochastics at that time. Someone
supposedly made up that name after reading the name on some label on
something. Lane was said to be the one who smoothed it and used mainly the
%D for trading.
Lane started working for a company that
taught Elliot Wave, Gann, and other types of trading. I believe the
company was started by a Ralph Dystant or something similar.
He called the teaching company Investment
Educators.
I believe Lane took controll of the
company before Ralphs death.
The indicator that is now known as
Stochastics was not used very much untill another trader that took courses at
Investment Educators learned it and talked to someone at computer trac.
And it has been well known ever since. I believe it was called %D back
then.
You can probably do a search for the
names:
Ralph Dystant
Rick Redmont
Tim Slater
And more than you what to read or
know.
The line everyone likes and dreams about is
what George Lane often said.
I was a gopher when I first went to
Investmant Educators to work and now I own Investment Educators.

Stochastics is basically a mathematical differential equation used
in all kinds of industries to do all kinds of things. It is not unique
to the TA in the stock market analysis.
If Lane bought him out, that was the ethical thing to do. But I
always see everyone saying George C Lane is the originator of the stochastsics
used for TA of stocks rather than he worked for someone and bought him
out. That could be true, I just don't see any reference to that when I
Google him.
But what do I know.

And of course Lane didn't come up with
Stochastics. It was the man Lane was working for and Lane later bought
him out.
Lane I believe though was the one who smoothed
the stochastics.

No, that is not correct. If someone publishes a formula and you
optimize it and come up with different periods or apply it in a
different way that is your work.
Let me use an example to show
the subtlety of this. Every car has an engine and transmission. Every
different variation has a different patent. There may be only a small
variation but you would not have to pry royalties on the new variation.
You can do two things, publish it or patent it. Once you do either then
the work you did is in the public domain and no one else can patent your
work.

appears there is a lot of confusion on copyright laws. A good discussion
is at http://en.wikipedia .org/wiki/ Copyrights. OF course
this isn't official but it is an easier read than the law books. People
like Wilder published his works so others could benefit from his
discoveries. What the copyright laws do is prevent someone from copying
his work and selling it. But the intellectual property he disclosed is
for our use. Why else would he publish it?Barry--- In
