iStochastic

New comment
 

Hi

I am using iStochastic and the values it returnes does not match what I have on the indicator on the charts. I have made sure that the all the modes are correct and also compared the indicator on the charts to make sure that all are the same

stoch1=iStochastic(Symbol(),time_period,PeriodsK,PeriodsD,SmoothD,MODE_SMA,PRICE_CLOSE,MODE_MAIN,1);

the shift of 1 is the last full bar close. I do not look at signal line at all, just the stoch value

Please someone help, maybe I am just doing something stupid somewhere.

Thanks

Johan

 

How are you comparing them in the back-tester? Are you using your eye or using print statements?

Hi,

I have a similar issue w/ the iStochastic. Below is the main code:


int start()
{
int counted_bars=IndicatorCounted();
if (counted_bars<0) return(-1);
if (counted_bars>0) counted_bars--;
int pos=Bars-counted_bars;

while(pos>=0)
{

double TSI = iCustom(NULL,0,"DSI5",0,1,0);
ExtMapBuffer1[pos]= iStochastic(TSI,0,465,3,3,MODE_SMA,0,MODE_SIGNAL,pos);
pos--;
}
//----
return(0); }



The values in ExtMapBuffer1 are not matching up to what they should be when you do the math by hand. Any reason?

thanks,
