Whatever one you want to use is the correct one for you. The author probably had particular figures
in mind but that doesn't make them "correct" for you or anybody else. The biggest difference that
either 99 or 100 is going to make is an N/A plot period of 100 or 101 bars - it doesn't matter
enough to worry about. The difference between 5 and 6 is more significant but something you should
determine for yourself. Inevitably what you choose will be a compromise anyway so don't sweat it.
