Stochastic and MACD

[whenimgone]

Hey folks, I have two questions on indicators I use with TOS but since I am trying to move over to Ninja fully, I need them redone in a certain way. If any of you would be helpful, I am more than willing to compensate for the work.

First one is Stochastics: I have no idea why (maybe because there is no option to select the smoothing moving average on Ninja) but identical setups (say 21,3,3) will output different values for K and D on TOS and Ninja. I use the TOS values extensively, but Ninja's are different and throw me off. So, can this be redone and verified values are the same?

Second one is MACD: all I need here is to have a one color when the average is going down and another when is going up (so if the average is 6 then 5 then 4 I would have three red dots and if the fourth is 5, that means I now have a positive and is green. All I need plotted is the average with dots (changing colors and neutral color for no change) and the 0 line.

Also, I can provide the TOS code for the MACD but slap me, no way to do the conversion. Maybe chatgpt can, but I still prefer humans.

Hey Gaby,

Stochastics is open and a fairly simple formula but unlike Ninja, on TOS you can choose the smoothing moving average type (so I am presuming this is where the difference comes from). Thank you for the resources but I prefer to trade, rather than code I have already looked up the developers you noted (from another forum topic) and wrote a few inquiries.

Thanks for the help and have a wonderful week
