Is it safe for me to say that the Stochastic indicator responds faster than the MACD to prices?
They both respond to prices as you rightly say so both lag price action. Neither is necessarily faster than the other.
How much they lag will depend on the settings you input. But generally you don’t increase the reliability or duration of indicator signals by setting them to faster and faster periods. If it has a reliability of 60% when used with your strategy rules, then it will always be 60%, but you will have got an increased number of signals of shorter duration.

Hi, what you see in the picture is a small part of the whole, you should check in the past what settings will give you a statistical advantage in making a profit. Regards Greg
