I know that Stockfetcher already has a KST filter. However, I found a formula for it and I am not able to get the same reults as SF. Can anyone help me in fixiing my code? This is what I have below. and below that is the formula that I found on the web.

set{A1,close}
set{B1,close 10 days ago}
set{C1,close 15 days ago}
set{D1,close 20 days ago}
set{E1,close 30 days ago}
Set{A2,1 - a1}
set{A3,A2 / B1}
set{A4,A3 * 100}
set{B3,A2 / C1}
set{B4,A3 * 100}
set{C3,A2 / D1}
set{C4,C3 * 100}
set{D3,A2 / E1}
set{D4,D3 * 100}
set{MOVA,A4}
set{MOVB,B4}
set{MOVC,C4}
set{MOVD,D4}
set{MOV1A,movA(10)}
set{MOV2A,movB(10)}
set{MOV3A,movC(10)}
set{MOV4A,movD(15)}
set{MOV1, MOV1A * 1}
set{MOV2, MOV2A * 2}
set{MOV3, MOV3A * 3}
set{MOV4, MOV4A * 4}
set{CST1, MOV1 + MOV2}
set{CST2, MOV3 + MOV4}

Sunday, March 2, 2008KST Indicator
KST (The Know Sure Thing) Indicator

This indicator was first introduced in the early 1990s. It uses four rate of change values to determine the trend of the market.

The formula is as follows:

ROC1 = (1-Price/Price(X1))*100;
ROC2 = (1-Price/Price(X2))*100;
ROC3 = (1-Price/Price(X3))*100;
ROC4 = (1-Price/Price(X4))*100;

Where Price refers to current closing price and Price(X1) refers to the closing price X1 bars ago.

KST = MOV(ROC1,AVG1)*W1 + MOV(ROC2,AVG2)*W2 + MOV(ROC3,AVG3)*W3 + MOV(ROC4,AVG4)*W4

Where MOV(ROC1,AVG1) refers to the AVG1 day moving average for ROC1

For Short term trend, Martin J Pring suggest the following parameters:

X1 = 10
X2 = 15
X3 = 20
X4 = 30

AVG1 = 10
AVG2 = 10
AVG3 = 10
AVG4 = 15

W1 = 1
W2 = 2
W3 = 3
W4 = 4

What is "wrong" with the SF version? Have you sent them a note asking how they calculate this?

Nothing is wrong with SF KST as far as I can tell. However, if I can code the KST formula then I can change the code to make it work for my personal way of scanning. Can you help?

Hey Kevin_in_GA,

I have also sent SF an e-mail asking how they coded KST. I am just trying to figure out how to code it. I personally think I can change it to give me an indicator that will work better for me.
