3-10 Oscillator

[iwan]

Hello

I am looking for oscillator that is the difference between a 3 and 10 period simple moving average, with a 16-period simple moving average of the 3/10.

[fxbs]

just set MACD to 3, 10 ,16 (3fasEMA,10 - slow and 16 -signal SMA)

Iwan, 3-10 is a very simple indicator (that's why very good) - MA3 over 10 (distance between MA3 and MA10); MACD-same thing - a fancy version of "3-10" - difference between fast ma and slow ma - that's all; only MACD has also extra signal (smoothing) line - MA of MACD

so, normally MACD 12,26,9 - fast EMA12 slow26, signal: 9

set it to 3,10,1 (or set signal line color to "none" and you have classical "3-10"

set to 3,10, 16 - and you have 3-10 as you wanted

Here, I threw one together. Yes, fxbs said it, it's basically the same as MACD and/or PPO. Anyway, have fun.

Thanks for reply.

I know that MACD and 3-10-16 oscillator are very similar. But in MT4 it is not possible to set SMA 3 and SMA 10 in MACD properities. It is only EMA. Thats why i send my first post.

Best regards

I wrote 3-10 so it takes SMA instead of EMA.

THX a lot. Thats what i looked for.

Try this MACD too, MACD 2 Colour HISTOGRAM.mq4. You can choose any Moving Average: SMA, EMA, Smooth, Linear Weighted.

dem right ...there is no ma mode switch on standard macd...

b.t.w. - any interesting implications to SMACD?

Aware this post is 10 years old but I wonder if anyone can code fast line in two colours? Something like this:

Yes you can.
