There are two variations: STO-B, which uses advances and declines, and STO-V, which uses advancing and declining volume. It is only proper to compute on an index because the computation is dependent on the number of advancers and decliners. Calculating STO The daily advances less decreases divided by the total number of daily advances and declines times 1000 is the STO, which is a 5-day simple moving average of a 4-day exponential moving average: (A-D)/(A+D)*1000. The width version of the STO can be computed using advances and declines, as demonstrated in the example below. Just replace advances and declines with advancing and declining volume to compute the volume version.A copy STO: 5 SMA (4…
