meaning not the first or second value?

so if someone came along and the pod for STO.pm to something like
that below would it:
1) be correct
2) helpful to users who are not perl hackers
3) ???

well i'm still confused about how to write this! this might make it
even more confusing -- i typically resort to displaY_indicator to find out
what is being used where and what the defaults are.

 Calculation

    %K Fast = 100 * ((Last - Lowest Low(n)) / (Highest High(n) - Lowest Low(n)))
    %D Fast = M-days SMA of %K Fast

    %K Slow = A-days SMA of %K Fast
    %D Slow = B-days SMA of %K Slow

 possibly helpful information:

    %K Fast corresponds to STO/1, %D Fast to STO/2, %K Slow to STO/3
    and %D Slow to STO/4

    %K Slow may also be known as the stochastic oscillator
    %D Slow is also known as the signal line

 arguments and defaults for STO

   STO accepts 7 arguments, the defaults are, in order: 5, 3, 3, 3,
   {I:Prices HIGH}, {I:Prices LOW}, {I:Prices CLOSE}

    The first argument is the Period n used in the formula above and for
    each of the subsequent SMA periods.

    The second argument is M-days, the third is A-days, fourth is B-days
