Im trying to create a strategy using the Stochastic Oscillator about freqtrade-strategies HOT 4 CLOSED

• fix parenthesis in this line:

dataframe['%K'] = 100 * ((dataframe['Close'] - dataframe['L14']) / dataframe['H14'] -dataframe['L14'] ) )

• There is no 'Low' column in the dataframe: fix dataframe['Low']
• There is no 'Close' column in the dataframe: fix dataframe['Close']
• Fix parenthesis here:

            (
            dataframe['%K'] == dataframe['%D'] &
            dataframe['%D'] > 30

            ),

and here

            (
            dataframe['%K'] == dataframe['%D'] &
            dataframe['%D'] < 50

            ),

-- the & operator has higher precedence in python than == and >.

• Ta-lib contains implementation of Stochastic Oscillator which is ready to use, there is no need to calculate it in the strategy: http://www.tadoc.org/indicator/STOCH.htm
• Your implementation of '%K' seems to be wrong, I do not see the use of 'HighestHigh' and 'LowestLow' as the Stochastic Oscillator definition assumes (see the link above).
• dataframe['H14'] = dataframe["high"].rolling(window=14) seems to be wrong, you need to call a function on the rolling window, like .max() for taking the highest value. The rolling window should be taken over the 'close' column, not on 'high'

Hi,
Thank you for your commits,

I need to do a lot more researching before I start coding.
