Macd aspray indicator

New comment
 

hi friends 

I looking for macd aspray indicator but i can't found that indicator setup or code.

if you have macd aspray code or setup please share us.?

 
what's macd aspray can you explain + upload a picture
 
Aspray and the MACD-Histogram

In the fall of 1986, Tom Aspray completed work on a new indicator: the MACD Histogram/Momentum. The MACD, or Convergence/Divergence, is an excellent indicator, but its signals often lag when run on weekly data. Convergence/Divergence was developed by Gerald Appel, who has created many excellent technical tools. 

Tom first presented his work on the MACD at a CompuTrac conference in 1984. At that time, very few analysts were aware of it, much less using it on the commodity markets. Now it is a widely used technical tool.

Tom did some work on optimizing the MACD by testing various combinations of inputs for the three exponential moving averages. Then, by altering the moving average variables, the results are dramatically different.

For example, the default for silver ( 12 days, 26 days and 9-period exponential average of the difference) were not always profitable, while the (10, 20, 9) combination was profitable 54% of the time, with an average profit of 67.5 points and an average loss of only 34 points.

After studying and using MACD for almost five years, Tom felt that, besides optimization, a method of anticipating crossovers would be a distinct advantage. After looking at (and testing) several alternatives, he found that by running a 10-day momentum (with 3-day smoothing) of the MACD in histogram form (MACD-H), the results were quite good."
 

so, your'e talking about "MACD"

you have it under \\MQL4\Indicators

(in the terminal you can find it under "Custom Indicators" ---> MACD)

 

my metatrader not have that indicator.

Show me  difference between two indicator upload photo.

 

do it yourself very easy

MACD Line: (12-day EMA - 26-day EMA) 

Signal Line: 9-day EMA of MACD Line

MACD Histogram: MACD Line - Signal Line

this normal macd in metatrader code, and that not same buffer .

How will add onto the original MACD, buffer lacking.   is not same .

 

like i said it's very easy




it took me less than 5 min.

 
then may you share this codes?
 

here is the one i made (in 2010) for B600 <

for B600 > i leave you a bit to do
