All technical indicators last value will keep changing until it closes, so for tow hour stochastic you have to wait two hours for the last value to close and then use it, otherwise it can keep changing based on bar price changes.
It's not a bug nor a problem of cTrader, it's same across all platforms and it's how technical indicators work, and yes they are lagging.
Hi Amusleh,
Your explanation is useful but unfortunately, it is not what I talking about.
I am talking about, where the two hourly stochastic was pointing up about 10 minutes ago [say 2.11 p.m] and within 10 minutes, the same
indicator is now pointing downwards at 2.21 p.m. This is not possible, as 2 hours has not lapsed, so the bar/value has not been calculated. Had it been a lower timeframe, like 5 minutes
