Every `matype` argument (for example `STOCH`'s `slowk_matype` and
`slowd_matype`) takes an `MA_Type` value. The integer defaults shown in the

### STOCH - Stochastic
NOTE: `slowk_matype` and `slowd_matype` take an `MA_Type` value. See [STOCH](https://ta-lib.org/functions/stoch) for the formula.

slowk, slowd = STOCH(high, low, close, fastk_period=5, slowk_period=3, slowk_matype=0, slowd_period=3, slowd_matype=0)
