stoch
Calculate the Stochastic Oscillator.
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.
Example:
from openbb import obb
stock_data = obb.equity.price.historical(symbol="TSLA", start_date="2023-01-01", provider="fmp")
stoch_data = obb.technical.stoch(data=stock_data.results, fast_k_period=14, slow_d_period=3, slow_k_period=3)
