Hi Ron,

I have been doing a lot of research using Qcharts, stochastic and TS4.0.
First I find no difference in TS4.0 and Qcharts when comparing the
stochastic indicator that I can recall. The following is from tips and
tricks Quote.com :

How to make the Stochastic "Slow"

The Stochastic indicator in QCharts is, by default, the "fast" version, but
it is very simple to turn it into the "slow" version:


Add a Stochastic study to the chart
Right click on the study plot and select "Preferences"
Click on the %K smoothing box and replace the 1 with 3
Click Ok
%K with a smoothing of 1, to wit, no smoothing, is a fast %K. The %D is a
moving average of whatever the %K is. So, if you change the %K smoothing to
3, it will make %K a slow %K, and the resulting %D will be a slow %D.

End:

Perhaps this could help.
