Hi Walter,

Stochastic is actually a misnomer for the popular Lane's Stochastic that we
see in the normalized indicator.  It's actually a synonym fro 'random'. (ref
TASC V.9:3)  I think the picture is drawn weird so it looks like somthing
else is going on but I think it's just showing a random distribution equally
+/- from the slope line so it could represent a 1 Sigma or say 3 Sigma
channel.  I guess.  (Don't) Believe me I'm no math expert.
