StochFast - Fast Stochastics K and D

The Stochastic Oscillator measures where the close is in relation to the recent trading range.  The values range from zero to 100.  %D values over 75 indicate an overbought condition; values under 25 indicate an oversold condition.  When the Fast %D crosses above the Slow %D, it is a buy signal; when it crosses below, it is a sell signal.  The Raw %K is generally considered too erratic to use for crossover signals.   Simple  Moving Average is used for smoothing.
