Member of [IIndicatorsAccessor](https://help.ctrader.com/ctrader-algo/references/Indicators/IIndicatorsAccessor/index.md).

## StochasticOscillator(int kPeriods, int kSlowing, int dPeriods, MovingAverageType maType)

The Stochastic Oscillator is a momentum indicator that aims to show price reversals by comparing the closing price to the price range.

Environments: Desktop supported · CLI supported · Cloud supported.

C#:

```csharp
StochasticOscillator StochasticOscillator(int kPeriods, int kSlowing, int dPeriods, MovingAverageType maType)
```

Python:

```python
api.Indicators.StochasticOscillator(kPeriods: int, kSlowing: int, dPeriods: int, maType: MovingAverageType) -> StochasticOscillator
```

### Parameters

- `kPeriods` (`int`, Python `int`): The value of the k periods used for calculation.
- `kSlowing` (`int`, Python `int`): The value of the k slowing used for calculation.
- `dPeriods` (`int`, Python `int`): The value of the d periods used for calculation.
- `maType` (`MovingAverageType`, Python `MovingAverageType`): Type of the Moving Average.

### Returns

`StochasticOscillator` — Stochastic Oscillator indicator instance.

### Examples

C#:

```csharp
var stochastic = Indicators.StochasticOscillator(9, 3, 9, MovingAverageType.Simple);
if (stochastic.PercentK.LastValue < 20)
    Print("Stochastic %K is oversold: {0}, %D: {1}", stochastic.PercentK.LastValue, stochastic.PercentD.LastValue);
```

Python:

```python
stochastic = api.Indicators.StochasticOscillator(9, 3, 9, MovingAverageType.Simple)
if stochastic.PercentK.LastValue < 20:
    api.Print(f"Stochastic %K is oversold: {stochastic.PercentK.LastValue}, %D: {stochastic.PercentD.LastValue}")
```
