Know Sure Thing (KST)

StratCraft indicator page for the KST trend oscillator.

Route: /indicators/kst/

What It Does

KST combines multiple smoothed rate-of-change legs into one composite trend oscillator.

Formula

KST = ROCMA1 + 2 * ROCMA2 + 3 * ROCMA3 + 4 * ROCMA4
Signal = SMA(KST, rsignal)

Each ROCMA leg is built from a different rate-of-change period and moving-average smoothing pair.

Parameters

  • rp1 - default 10
  • rp2 - default 15
  • rp3 - default 20
  • rp4 - default 30
  • rma1 - default 10
  • rma2 - default 10
  • rma3 - default 10
  • rma4 - default 10
  • rsignal - default 9
  • rfactors - default [1.0,2.0,3.0,4.0]
  • _rmovav - default SMA
  • _smovav - default SMA

C++23 API

#include <nonabt/indicators/kst.hpp>
auto kst = std::make_unique<nonabt::KST>(data().close(), 10, 15, 20, 30, 10, 10, 10, 10, 9, "[1.0,2.0,3.0,4.0]", "SMA", "SMA");

Common Usage

  • Use the signal line for crossover entries and exits.
  • Confirm trend strength when all four ROC legs point the same way.
  • Pair it with a support or breakout structure to reduce false signals.
