To compute the Stochastic Oscillator using R, you can use the following steps:

  1. Load the necessary packages:
1
2
library(TTR)
library(quantmod)


  1. Create a function to calculate the Stochastic Oscillator:
1
2
3
4
5
6
calculate_stoch <- function(data, n = 14, d = 3) {
  k = stoch(data[, c("High", "Low", "Close")], n = n)
  d = SMA(k, n = d)
  
  return(data.frame(k = k, d = d))
}


  1. Load your historical price data using quantmod or any other data source:
1
2
getSymbols("AAPL", from = "2021-01-01", to = Sys.Date())
data <- AAPL


  1. Calculate the Stochastic Oscillator for the given data:
1
stoch_data <- calculate_stoch(data)


  1. Plot the Stochastic Oscillator:
1
2
3
plot(stoch_data$k, type = "l", col = "blue", xlab = "Date", ylab = "Stochastic Oscillator")
lines(stoch_data$d, col = "red")
legend("topright", legend = c("K", "D"), col = c("blue", "red"), lty = 1)


By following these steps, you can calculate and visualize the Stochastic Oscillator for your stock price data in R.
