Good afternoon,

I am trying to make the transition from MT4 to SierraCharts but have some points I am unable to do, could you please advise:

Attached to email picture on left Sierra and right side MT4

1. Candlesticks differ completely from my MT4 platform which I now are the correct ones by checking in 3 different sources. Changed time zone in Charts Settings but it doesn’t come close to look like right ones?

2. RSI – My default settings in MT4 are:

RSI 10 - Applied to Close

Moving average - Period 3 - Shift 0 - Method Smoothed

Tried applying same values but looks reads different?

3. Stochastics
8,3,3 Close, Close but also reads different?

Could you please tell me how I may set these.

Thank You

Regards

1. In the Sierra Chart chart, you have a GBP Forex index.The calculation method that Sierra Chart uses for those is documented here:
Sierra Chart Market Statistics: Forex Indexes Calculation

What we see in the chart on the right, is different. There is somewhat of a similar appearance, but the values are quite different. We do not know the calculation method that chart is using.

2. For the RSI study use the following Inputs:
Last, 10, 3, 70, 30, Smoothed Moving Average.

Any differences have to do with the differences of the underlying data as we have explained in item 1 above.

3. For the Stochastic-Slow study use the following Inputs: 8, 3, 3. The other Inputs should be just left at their defaults.
