Hi

You are right about the inputs on the stochs, %K is 18 and %D and slowing are both 3.

As far as I'm aware we are using the simple method, rather than the expo. Sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong though.

I'm using Metatrader 4 (MT4) from Northfinance as my charting package and based on MT4, when I want to add the stochastics, there are a few fields for me to set the parameters of the stochastics. For example, there is the %K period, the %D period and the "slowing" field as well. From Maurizio's slow stochastic setting of 18,3,3; can anyone please help me determine which setting I have to set?
Is the 18 for the %K period while the %D period and "slowing" field is set to 3 each? I also notice that there is a moving average method to choose from. By default, it is set to "simple". Am I suppose to change it to Exponential since we are using EMAs?

I hope these questions of mine aren't too elementary. Thanks in advance for your help.
