  How do you calculate Slow Stochastic(25,3) Slow %D?  I'd like to run
 it in a computer program but I don't know the formula.  I've
 looked around the internet for the formula but haven't found it.
 
 Thanks!

  %K = 100[(C-L#)/(H#-L#)]
 
 ..where # being the number of days
 
 %D (Fast) is a 3 period moving average of the %K 
 %D (Slow) uses another 3 periods

  ( I guess I should of said what the variables are ...)
 
 L is the lowest low for the last # periods
 C is the latest close
 H is the highest high in the last # periods
 
 
 ... hope that helps !

  xplorer, thanks for responding.  When you write:
 
 "%D (Fast) is a 3 period moving average of the %K 
 %D (Slow) uses another 3 periods "
 
 I'm a little confused.  I would guess you mean 3 DAY moving average
 for the Fast?
 
 What do you mean my "another 3 periods".
 
 I'm so close I can taste it.

  You are correct... it would be a 3 day moving 
 average for the example you are working on.  
 The reason I said "3 periods" is because technically 
 it could be used a a "monthly" period (instead of days)
  ... or weekly ... or yearly... or whatever "period"
 want to use ...
 
 ...and the %D would be for an additional 3 day ... or 
 a 6 day average.
 
 The site that rumpledone gave, explains it pretty good ...
 
 Good luck ...
 
 Hope that helps ...
