waheeb and Harley -

   Harley, your note helped me see that I was not clear on what I suggested
in my earlier note to waheeb.  In suggesting that %K be slowed to 1 period,
I was speeding %K.  Then, %D was smoothing what was left (%D being a
further smoothed version of %K), but if the Time Period value was not
changed from default, 3, then the result would be the same as a %K left to
default (5 days, slowing of 3), with %D time periods reduced to 1.

   How about doing this:

	1.   Make the Time Period of %D 1 (negating it)
	2.   Don't need to, but can, select the Background color for %D 
                  so it will not be seen
	3.   That leaves just %K, which can then be tweaked and done with, 
                  slowing either or both of Time Periods and Slowing


   I just re-read your original request, waheeb, and see that all you want
to do is eliminate the sensitive %K line.  What I have shown above will do
that, in a workaround sort of way.  You will end up with only one line in
the Stochastic Oscillator, the %K *and* you can insert greater values for
Time Periods and/or Slowing to make it less sensitive.

   I hope that you can put a better spin on this, Harley.
