Multi-Timeframe Stochastic Alert v2.0 - Release Notes

🔄 Major Update: Improved Momentum Detection

We've enhanced the momentum detection logic to provide more accurate trend signals. This update focuses on improving how the indicator determines directional movement in the stochastic oscillator.

Key Change:
The isIncreasing() function has been optimized to better reflect stochastic momentum:

Previous Version (v1.0):

Pine Script®

New Version (v2.0):

Pine Script®

What's Changed?

• Status arrows now respond to both crossovers and momentum:
  ▲ (Up) appears when:
  - K-line crosses above D-line OR
  - Both K and D lines are increasing
  
• More responsive to traditional stochastic signals
  
• Better alignment with actual market momentum
  

Why This Matters:

The original version required both K and D lines to increase simultaneously, which was too restrictive and missed important momentum signals. The new version captures both classic stochastic crossover signals and trending momentum, providing a more comprehensive view of market direction.

Technical Details:

1. Status Calculation:
   - Previous: Required simultaneous increase in both lines
   - New: Recognizes either crossovers or joint momentum
   
2. Signal Generation:
   - More responsive to market changes
   - Maintains reliability while reducing false negatives
   
3. Visual Feedback:
   - Clearer indication of momentum shifts
   - Better correlation with price action
   

Compatibility:
This update maintains full compatibility with all existing settings and alerts. No action is required from users - just refresh your charts to get the improved functionality.

Feedback:
Your feedback helped shape this improvement. Please continue to share your experience and suggestions for future enhancements.
