Since trying to write an AE for this, I gained a lot of insight as to how things work...in many ways

.
Stochs never go negative, it's value range is still 0 to 100 even though it's overlayed with the AC indicator. The AC indicator is either positive or negative with 0 (the nought line) being in the middle.
So, when looking at the chart when the stochs and AC are crossing at the same time, the AC is in the middle (0), but it doesn't necessarily mean that the stochs are in their middle (50).
For example for a sell signal, and the AC crosses 0 (from positive to negative), and the stoch "looks like" it's crossing the AC line, the stochs "value" should actually be going down from 80ish and between, roughly, 75 and 55...still playing with that ...for it to be a valid sell signal.
Hope that helps but you may have to think about it for a bit yet
