- Print all plots?: By default, the indicator only shows the values of the last two weeks. If you want to see all the values, you must set the parameter to "true" (see notes).

Conclusion:
This indicator is a useful tool for market traders who use the Stochastic Oscillator. It helps to identify uptrends, downtrends, and neutral trends in real time.
Notes:
- If you are a market analyst or if your trading uses different time frames, it is recommended to use the free tool: https://www.mql5.com/en/market/product/109890
- Due to the high resource consumption and speed of execution, it is recommended to use the parameter "Print all plots? = false", this will limit the values obtained by the indicator to a maximum of two weeks (or the bars defined in Options of your Metatrader).
- The use of 400 bars is limited because market traders generally need a quick visual data, this is the reason for this limitation. (Any comments on this, please send them to the corresponding section). In any case, if you want to exceed this limitation temporarily, you can also use the free tool mentioned in the first note, to use it from the bars where you have interest, until the present time, both tools were developed to be compatible.
