DislikedHas anyone considered the cause of these wormholes? In theory, if you platform receives tick data and converts it to bars on various timeframes, the stochastics should always align if the settings is in the correct ratio. Stochastics is simply where the price is relative to the high and low of a certain period. If your stochastic ratio between the timeframes is the same as the ratio between the timeframes, the stochastics should always match. Any ideas?Ignored

Disliked{quote} Do you think that price is a perfect sequence of numbers? Take this example: 1.2425 1.2426 1.2427 1.2428 Or by math: pip "d" 0.0001 previous price "p" next price "n" Do you think this always true? n = p + d where next price is higher than previous. Now take this example: 1.2425 1.2426 1.2427 1.2429 There is not always the same difference from one price to another. There are gaps in price and you can see them in a different way from timeframe to timeframe. You need to understand how is made a candle. AlexIgnored

DislikedHi all, just to cut down on the secrecy a bit, I'd like to explain my understanding of the stoch difference indicator/ea. It appears that some people do not understand the indicator they're betting their money on, which is NOT a good idea. Trading is sufficiently difficult by itself, we don't need to turn these forums into IQ tests. Imagine you have A) stochastic with the period 10 on the M30 timeframe and B) stochastic with the period 5 on the H1 timeframe. Those two are "similar", i.e. the two will always be equivalent at the close of...Ignored
Disliked{quote} Okay, so now we know there's a "simple" explanation for the difference. Next qestion would be why does price want to gravitate back to this point?Ignored
Disliked{quote} My opinion: If you are observing a stoch difference on a current bar, this method will ensure that the current point is neither a minimum nor a maximum on a period of your stochastic (if it were, which is highly unlikely anyway, both stochastic oscillators would likely agree and be 0/100), so the current market state is most likely not a strong trend. Therefore, prices get revisited with a high probability. As with many similar methods, be careful of expectation of a revisit in case of a strong trend/news event/etc. kIgnored
