I noticed the Full stochastic displayed by Ninja is different from the same indicator displayed by other charts. Attached is a chart of ANW with the Stoc(5,2 3) and Stoc(14,1,3) displayed by NT and a screen shot of the ANW chart from stockcharts.com for comparison.

The Ninja chart is generated from historical data from IQFeed. QuoteTracker (with IQFeed) shows the identical lines as the ones shown in the stockcharts.com screen shot.

Also note the Stoc(14,1,3) %K line (think yellow line) in the ninja chart is right on the %D line (green). This should not be the case. I made the line thicker to show the line clearly (it wasn't visible before).

Just to make sure what my notation (which I believe is the standard) means. In fact NT displays it differently in the chart as well (%D value is displayed first instead of the %K).
Stoc(5,2,3) -> %K(5,2) %D(3)
Stoc(14,1,3) -> %K(14,1) %D(3)

I am using 6.5 beta & the canned Full Stochastic indicator that was installed.

Try setting Calculate on Bar Close to False.

If still not working: Please retry with next NT6.5 beta (available this week). We fixed a bug related...
