Two-leg stochastic stress oscillator as a rebuild drill

Archive reconstructions assemble a stress series from two raw Stochastic oscillator legs, then range-normalize the gap. The workflow keeps lookbacks, zero-range guards, a second market series, and a long-side test specification open to audit.

  • Each leg is a raw Stochastic oscillator: the close minus that series lookback low, divided by the same lookback high-low range.
  • The stress series range-normalizes the difference between those two raw readings and scales the result by 100 when the difference range is nonzero.
  • When a lookback range is zero, reconstructions skip the update, hold a neutral reading of 50, carry the prior stress value, or emit 0.
  • Reconstructions attach a second market series, expose lookback and guide-level inputs, and can encode a long-side test specification.

Two raw legs, then a stress series

The archive workflow starts with a Stochastic oscillator on each of two market series. Those raw readings are subtracted, and the difference is range-normalized into a stress series.

A raw Stochastic oscillator on each leg is the close minus that series lookback low, divided by the same lookback high-low range. The stress series is the lookback range-normalization of the difference between those two raw readings, scaled by 100 when the difference range is nonzero.

Daily Hess: two raw stochastic legs and the range-normalized stress gap

Green is Hess’s 60-day stochastic, blue is the same oscillator on SPY, and red is the stress series from range-normalizing the gap between those legs. A rebuild should produce three 0–100 traces, not one imported signal: Hess’s own stochastic finishes near 27 while stress is still around 72, so the gap oscillator is not a copy of either leg. The final readings were taken from the AmiBroker quote labels; earlier points were read from the daily pane against the 0–100 scale.

Both raw legs and the stress gap use a 60-session lookback, as in the AmiBroker reconstruction. Last readings are on-chart labels; earlier points are approximate because the raster does not carry tick-level precision.

Zero-range guards

When a lookback range is zero, reconstructions skip the update, hold a neutral reading of 50, carry the prior stress value, or emit 0. Those branches stay part of the rebuild so a finished plot is not treated as the only record of the rule.

What reconstructions expose

One reconstruction exposes period, overbought, oversold, and midline inputs defaulting to 60, 90, 10, and 50, and plots the stress series beside both scaled Stochastic oscillator readings and those guide levels. Another reconstruction lets the Stochastic oscillator lookback be chosen from 1 to 100 with a default of 10.

Reconstructions attach a second market series, typically an index-tracking fund, so the same oscillator can be charted against both legs and scripted as separate equity-side and hedge-side studies. A wizard-style rebuild writes the stress series as a Stochastic oscillator percent-K of the difference between two 60-bar Stochastic oscillator percent-K readings.

A reconstructed test specification

One reconstructed long-side test specification enters when stress is below 10, exits when stress is above 50, applies a 20 percent trailing stop, and sizes the position at a fixed 5000 dollars. Editorial reading: this is a wiring checklist from the reconstructions, not a result and not a recommendation.
