hi,
I suspect that the MT4 stochastic calculation: (%K Slowing) is somehow wrong.
e.g. How to check:
* Apply 1. Stochastic with:
%K period 14, %D period: 1, Slowing: 5 -- Stoch(14,1,5)
* Apply a 2. Stochastic with: (Which seems to be ok)
%K period 14, %D period: 1, Slowing: 1 -- Stoch(14,1,1)
Than take a couple of Bars and calculate manually the Slowing (SMA) which should produce the same KFull Value as the First Stochastic at that bar.
In my example only a couple of times it is the same.
