Worden Stochastic the Charts
According to investopedia, The Worden Stochastics indicator was designed by Peter Worden to recognize a new trading range more quickly than traditional stochastics. Unlike traditional stochastics that incorporate high, low, and closing prices, the Worden Stochastics indicator uses rankings to avoid over-weighting in outlier periods, providing a potentially more accurate indication of the trading range.
Key concepts:
  • Ranks closing prices, assigning a value based on where the recent close ranks compared to prior closes.
  • Provides overbought and oversold levels, as well as potential trade signals using signal line crossovers.
  • A reading above 80 is considered overbought, while a reading below 20 is considered oversold.
The parameters of the Worden Stochastic can be changed by locating and opening the Javascript Code under Data Building Procedure -> Procedure Loop under "Worden Stochastic" Product Definition.
