Charting the Markets

[spencerfrater]

Hi.

I really enjoy the daily video Charting the Markets (Josh is by far the best).

On my charts I can't get the same looking Stochastic and MACD indicators - and my Stochastic is clearly set to different inputs than the Stochastic used on CTM.

What am I missing please?

Thanks

I think they use 14 period K and 5 Period D - I have no idea why they use 5 periods for D.

Thanks. But how do they get the colour-coded shading between indicator and signal lines...?

Ah, that is a feature that comes with ProRealTime software.  You can get a free trial of it by going into My IG, Settings.

Do you have to pay for that (after the free trial) or can you get it if you do a certain number of trades every month...?

You need to be trading at least four times a month for it to remain free I believe.  Maybe more if you just bet at the minimum bet size.  IG never made this very specific.
