Stochastic Momentum Index

   i am playing with the Stochastic Momentum Index, trying to run it on volume.
From the Help, the syntax of this indicator seems to be
STOCHMOMENTUM(EXPR,SMOOTHING,DOUBLESMOOTHING) and the example quoted there is
stochmomentum(C,25,4)
This does not work. You get an error message to the effect that argument 1 must be a number.
What is the correct way of calling this indicator?

	Hmm... Looks like the manual is out of date for this one. Will fix. The format should be: STOCHMOMENTUM(num1, num2, num3, num4, method) num1 = %K Time periods num2 = %K Smoothing period num3 = %K Double smoothing num4 = %D Time periods method = %D Moving Average Method

	So that means that you have removed the EXPR variable. Which kind of ruins the whole thing for me - I was looking at doing a stochastic indicator on volume.

	The stochmomentum formula is defined in the Stochastic Momentum indicator. You can make a copy of this formula, and modify it as desired. Note: You'll need to change the alias attribute so that the names don't clash.
