copying the builtin experts using 
the 
copy feature on say Equis MACD where the formulas are not password

worry about making errors as anyone 
who 
does anything significant with Metastock has made plenty of 
mistakes.   If you get stuck,

effectively.

As 
far a Fast %K stochastic, it depends on your definition.
<FONT face="Comic Sans MS" 
color=#0000ff> 
<FONT face="Comic Sans MS" 
color=#0000ff>Here is a stochastic of a MACD:
<FONT face="Comic Sans MS" 
color=#0000ff> 
<FONT face="Comic Sans MS" 
color=#0000ff>100*Mov(((MACD()-LLV(MACD(),9))/(HHV(MACD(),9)-LLV(MACD(),9))),3,E)
<FONT face="Comic Sans MS" 
color=#0000ff> 
Now 
substitute C for the first  MACD(), L for the second MACD(),  and H 
for the third MACD() and L for the final MACD(), 
<FONT face="Comic Sans MS" 
color=#0000ff>then you should have a Fast K stochastic of 9 periods slowed by 3 
periods.  You can changed the last 3 to 1
for 
an unsmoothed Fast K.  Note this formula is normalized for 0 to 100 instead 
of 0 to 1 which 
is 
the traditional range of a stochastic.
<FONT face="Comic Sans MS"

You 
can enhance this formulation by using variables for the numbers in the above 
formulas and 
<FONT face="Comic Sans MS" 
color=#0000ff>also use the "input" instruction in MSFL.

  [EquisMetaStock Group] Fast % K question
  
  Hi Guys,
   
  I was wondering if anyone could let me know is it 
  possible to create a Fast %K stochastic indicator in metastock? If so, could 
  someone please give me a clue.
   
  Another thing while I am here, I have Metastock 
  in a Nutshell but was wondering what the best book is to get for programming 
  in Metastock to do with "Expert Advisor" and "System Tester". 
   
  Any help appreciated,
  Regards
   
  Steve Dawson
