Stochastic indicator calculation

[Phil_Trade]

In MT4, one can choose the 'MA Method' applied to stochastic.

in FT, there is no option, but in the source provide, there is one MaType parameter in the function iMaOnArray ->

function iMAonArray(buffer: TIndexBuffer; total:integer; period:integer; ma_shift:integer; MAType:integer; shift:integer; prev:double): double;

which is only force to 0 = SMA in the calculate requested bar ->

Dline[index]:=iMAOnArray(Kslow,Bars,DPeriod,0,0,index,Dline[index+1]);

my question is :
- why force to 0
- why not use an option like

RegOption('MA Type', ot_EnumType, MaType);
AddOptionValue('MaType', 0);
AddOptionValue('MaType', 1);
AddOptionValue('MaType', 2);
AddOptionValue('MaType', 3);

Hello Philippe,

Yes, you are right, we'll add this option later, for now you can simply compile the indicator with advanced options and post it here, thank you.
