# Stochastics Fast

#### Description <a href="#description_104" id="description_104"></a>

See [*stochastics*](https://agenatrader.github.io/AgenaIndicator-documentation/indicators_oscillators/#stochastics).

#### Interpretation <a href="#interpretation_53" id="interpretation_53"></a>

Closing prices that are constantly in the upper area indicate accumulation (i.e. buying pressure), whilst the distribution (i.e. selling pressure) is shown by an indicator value in the lower area.

#### Usage <a href="#usage_100" id="usage_100"></a>

```csharp
StochasticsFast(int periodD, int periodK)
StochasticsFast(IDataSeries inSeries, int periodD, int periodK)

//For the %D line
StochasticsFast(int periodD, int periodK).D[int barsAgo]
StochasticsFast(IDataSeries inSeries, int periodD, int periodK).D[int barsAgo]

//For the %K line
StochasticsFast(int periodD, int periodK).K[int barsAgo]
StochasticsFast(IDataSeries inSeries, int periodD, int periodK).K[int barsAgo]
```

#### Return value <a href="#return-value_98" id="return-value_98"></a>

**double**

When using this method with an index (e.g. **StochasticsFast**(7,14)\[**int** barsAgo] ), the value of the indicator will be issued for the referenced bar.

#### Parameters <a href="#parameters_91" id="parameters_91"></a>

inSeries Input data series for the indicator

periodD Number of periods for the smoothing of %K

periodK Number of periods included in the calculation of %K

#### Visualization <a href="#visualization_95" id="visualization_95"></a>

#### Example <a href="#example_95" id="example_95"></a>

```csharp
//Output for the %K line of the fast stochastic
Print("The stochastic line %K is currently at: " + StochasticsFast(3, 14).K[0]);

//Output %D line
Print("The stochastic line %D is currently at: " + StochasticsFast(3, 14).D[0]);
```
