Please try one of the following:

Simple Stochastic 20,12,12 SK xUp SD:

STOC20.12 > AVG(STOC20.12,12) AND STOC20.12.1 <= AVG(STOC20.12.1,12)

Simple Stochastic 20,12,12 SK xDn SD:

STOC20.12 < AVG(STOC20.12,12) AND STOC20.12.1 >= AVG(STOC20.12.1,12)

Simple Stochastic 20,12,12 SK crossing SD (either direction):

SGN(STOC20.12 - AVG(STOC20.12,12)) <> SGN(STOC20.12.1 - AVG(STOC20.12.1,12))

How do I get the worden stochastic to show in the price history in blocks like Peter Wordens in his webinar on Feb.3rd?

RickMs,
I've watched the video and didn't notice the Worden Stochastic being shown in the Price History Pane. It was at the bottom of the Chart and could be added by selecting Add Indicator | Select... | Worden Stochastics | OK. Dragging and Dropping the Worden Stochastic into the Price History Pane and selecting Overlay should Plot it in the same Pane.

The Price History was painted using a Volume Weighted MACD. You can add VWMACD by selecting Add Indicator | Select... | Volume-weight MACD | OK. You can adjust the settings of any of its component Indicators by left-clicking on the Indicator to bring up the Main tab of the Edit window.

You can Drag and Drop the VWMACD onto its Trigger and select Create Rule | Below Trigger to create the Rule. If you change the Color to Red and check Paint Price when Passing, it will color the Price History.

Thanks for your help but I don't see a way to Drag and Drop VMACD onto its Trigger and then create a rule in Blocks. Create a rule appears to be in stockfinder but not in blocks. Am I missing something?

RickMs,
In Blocks (I just test tested this in the last version, Blocks 3.1), it is called a Condition instead of a Rule (so you Drag and Drop the VWMACD onto its Trigger and select Create Condition), but the basic idea is the same.
