Coding the Smoothed Stochastic Oscillator in Trading View
How to Code and Use the Smoothed Stochastic Oscillator in Trading View
The stochastic oscillator can have many variations, notably the smoothed stochastic oscillator (SSO). This article shows how to create this indicator in Trading View.

The Stochastic Oscillator
One of the known technical indicators is the stochastic oscillator which is a form of data normalization aimed to trap the market values between 0 and 100 so that we get an idea on extreme values. The following chart shows the stochastic oscillator.
Coding the Smoothed Stochastic Oscillator
The SSO is calculated on the smoothed HLC data instead of the raw data. By taking a moving average of the highs, lows, and close prices and applying the stochastic formula on them, we get the SSO.
The code of the indicator in Pine Script is as follows:

indicator("Smoothed Stochastic Oscillator")
lookback = input(defval = 5, title = 'Lookback')
open_smoothed = ta.wma(open, lookback)
high_smoothed = ta.wma(high, lookback)
low_smoothed = ta.wma(low, lookback)
close_smoothed = ta.wma(close, lookback)
slow_stochastic_nom = close_smoothed - ta.lowest(low_smoothed, lookback)
slow_stochastic_denom = ta.highest(high_smoothed, lookback) - ta.lowest(low_smoothed, lookback)
slow_stochastic = slow_stochastic_nom / slow_stochastic_denom * 100
plot(slow_stochastic)
hline(20)
hline(80)
The oversold area is at 20 and the overbought area is at 80. Re-integrating normaly from either areas yields a contrarian view. This means that a market that has been below 20 and suddenly surpasses it, gives a bullish signal.
