I posted this question last week but never got an answer so
hoping someone (Steve or Matt) will see it this weekend! Are their
guidelines on when to use the 60 period vs the 144 period? It
seems like I've seen short term charts (15/30/60 minute charts)
with both 60 and 144 period stochastics. And I think I've
seen longer term daily/wkly charts with both. So my question
is why do you sometimes use 144 vs 60 period stochastics on any
variety of time frames? Thanks!

Basically, you test. For example: if the 60 is too choppy, try
the 89 and 144. You don't want to use an indicator that whips you
in and out, less you are very savy.

I think the 144 gives a more "ironed out" view and are less choppy
