Re: Discussions of MACD Usage

i use the macd with bollinger bands to help me spot extremes in the market and i trade those extremes in the direction of the trend. I use it on a 1.25 momentum chart on the es.

Re: Discussions of MACD Usage

I would like to post the folowing tradestation code that may be useful to those trading the MACD-BB posted on the following thread:

http://www.traderslaboratory.com/for...tc-3688-8.html


inputs:
FastLen( 12),
SlowLen( 26),
Length( 10 ),
StDv(1);

VARS:
BB_Macd(0),
Avg(0),
SDev(0),
Upper_band(0),
Lower_band(0);

BB_Macd= MACD( Close, FastLen, SlowLen ) ;
Avg = XAverage(BB_Macd,Length);
SDev = StdDev( BB_Macd, Length ) ;
Upper_Band = Avg + StDv * SDev ;
Lower_Band = Avg - StDv * SDev ;

Plot1(BB_Macd);
Plot2(Upper_Band);
Plot3(Lower_Band)

Re: Discussions of MACD Usage

[QUOTE=sunilrohira;76052]I would like to post the folowing tradestation code that may be useful to those trading the MACD-BB posted on the following thread:

....looks like a great MACD.....just tried to download it, via copy the code & make a indicator in TS. Worked, as was verified, BUT.....what showed up on the chart was just '3' lines, but not the dotted lines as per the pic. Any ideas how to correct this? Can you post the "ELD" for it? Thx for the post.....

Re: Discussions of MACD Usage

The picture I posted might have a Ninjatrader version which is slightly different looking than the TS version. You might find it in Ninja forums.
