Stochastic Fast Value differences

[r3n3v]

Why are there differences in the values of the indicator in our Graph versus the values when we print them out using the example below?

// Prints the current %D value
doublevalue=StochasticsFast(3,14).D[0];
Print("The current StochasticsFast %D value is "+value.ToString());

// Prints the current %K value
doublevalue=StochasticsFast(3,14).K[0];
Print("The current StochasticsFast %K value is "+value.ToString());

Hello r3n3v,

Thanks for your post.

Your code is calculating what an indicator plot would be at one given moment.

If you are adding an indicator and comparing the values to what is on the chart, I recommend instantiating the indicator in State.DataLoaded, and printing the plot values from that indicator as opposed to calling the indicator method in OnBarUpdate. This will ensure you are comparing indicator plots that have been calculating using the same starting point in the data series. See the attached script for a demonstration.

I look forward to assisting.
