Calculation
//input = price, user defined, default is closing price
//period1 = user defined, default is 9
//period2 = user defined, default is 3
//method = moving average (ma), user defined, default is SMA
//stochK = stochastics fast K
//sk = slow K, index = current bar number
fastK = stochK(index, period1, input); sk = ma(index, period1, fastK); Plot: skdv = ma(method, index, period2, SK);
