stoch_d

Stochastic %D (Slow Stochastic - MA of %K)

`stoch_d(k_period, d_period, matype="sma")`

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
`k_period`	int	Period for %K calculation (high-low range)
`d_period`	int	Period for smoothing %K to get %D
`matype`	str, optional	Type of moving average for smoothing

Formula

```
%D = MA(%K, d_period)

Where:
- %K = stoch_k(k_period)
- MA = Moving average of type 'matype'
```

Examples

stoch_d(14, 3);  # Standard slow stochastic
stoch_d(5, 3);   # Fast stochastic
stoch_d(14, 3, matype="ema");  # EMA-smoothed %D
k = stoch_k(14); d = stoch_d(14, 3); k > d;  # Bullish crossover

Returns

Stochastic %D value (smoothed %K) ranging from 0 to 100 ## References - TradingView: `ta.stoch()` returns [k, d] - Developed by George Lane ## Notes - Slower and smoother than %K, reduces false signals - %K crossing above %D = bullish signal - %K crossing below %D = bearish signal - Overbought/oversold levels same as %K (80/20)
