I've read through this thread and I have also read Cynthia Kase's book and articles and I'm still confused as to what the algorithm for the Kase Peak Oscillator (KPO) is. I list 2 of her articles for reference.

According to those articles KPO=KSDIup - KSDIdn, where
KSDIup=log(H[0]/L[n])/volatility*sqrt(n),
KSDIdn = log(H[n]/L[0])/volatility*sqrt(n),
and volatiliy is the standard deviation of the logarithmic price change.
My questions are:
1. Why in none of the codes posted in this thread is the log of the price change used? Instead the linear price difference itself is used. For reference the codes in this thread are based on the following algorithm
Kase Peak Oscillator by Cynthia Case Tradestation Indicators Metatrader MT4 Indicators and Expert Systems, Metastock, Tradestation, Amibroker - Forex Trading Systems
2. Also for volatily which is used in the denominator the codes posted in this thread use the Average True Range (ATR) instead of the standard deviation of the logarithm price change suggested by Cynthia in her articles. ATR does not measure standard deviation so why is it used?
3. Finally I don't understand how KPO is supposed to be self optimized over 50 different trend lengths that is claimed in many sites. I didn't see any loops in the code that do that. The following documents
http://www.aspenres.com/Documents/pdf/KaseStudies.pdf
Kase Peak Oscillator
which are manual for her indicators lists 3 parameters for KPO
cycle range low-8, cycle range high-65 and scaling factor-50. I imagine these are related to the self-optimization of the KPO but it is not clear what their roles are? In her articles she mentions that a loop is used to find the maximum values of KDSIup and KDSIdn but again KDSI is not used in the above algorithm. I would guess that the loop runs from cycle range low to cycle range high (8-65) but then what does the scaling factor of 50 do?
Any answer would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance,

Kase permission stochastic using smoother for smoothing
It is different than the version in the advanced section though (different smoothing used)

Nice. Thanks
This is the kase permission stochastic smoothed posted by Mladen yesterday, just added a channel with zig zag.
