How can I get the value of the stochastic %K?

New comment
 

Hi, how can I get the value of the stochastic?

I'm using this:

int iStochasticResult1 = iStochastic(_Symbol, PERIOD_CURRENT, Signal_0_Stoch_PeriodK, Signal_0_Stoch_PeriodD, Signal_0_Stoch_PeriodSlow, MODE_SMA, STO_LOWHIGH); //- is a function that returns the symbol name of the current chart.InfoInteger_InfoInteger()_
int iStochasticResult2 = iStochastic(_Symbol, PERIOD_CURRENT, Signal_1_Stoch_PeriodK, Signal_1_Stoch_PeriodD, Signal_1_Stoch_PeriodSlow, MODE_SMA, STO_LOWHIGH); //- is a function that returns the symbol name of the current chart.InfoInteger_InfoInteger()_

And I'm printing the value, but it gives a constant value. How can I get the value of %K? What am I doing wrong?

void OnTick()
  {
   Print("iStochasticResult1 = ", iStochasticResult1);
   Print("iStochasticResult2 = ", iStochasticResult2);

edited: I whant to print the last value.

They all (including iCustom) return a handle (an int). You get that in OnInit. In OnTick/OnCalculate (after the indicator has updated its buffers), you use the handle, shift and count to get the data.
