KST: Know Sure Thing

הרעיון במילים פשוטות

Short, medium and long momentum each tell part of the story. KST adds four smoothed rates of change so that signals happen only when they broadly agree.

איך זה מחושב

Smooth ROC(10), ROC(15), ROC(20) and ROC(30) with SMAs of 10, 10, 10 and 15 candles, weight them 1, 2, 3 and 4 and add them up. Signal = SMA(9) of KST.

KST = 1·SMA(ROC10,10) + 2·SMA(ROC15,10) + 3·SMA(ROC20,10) + 4·SMA(ROC30,15)
Signal = SMA(KST, 9)

איך משתמשים בזה

• KST crossing its signal line.
• Zero line as the dividing line between rising and falling markets.

הסקת מסקנות

• Turns of KST far from zero are more significant.

ממה להיזהר

• Slow by design; on short timeframes it lags a lot.
