MACD signal line

[Moses Mad]

Good day, New coder here

I have been perusing on the net for a code that uses the signal line not the histogram and I have not found any knowledge how to do this.

Can I please ask if its possible to use this line in the expert code and if yes please help or point me in the right direction

MT4 version:

double MACD_Signal=iMACD(_Symbol,PERIOD_CURRENT,12,26,9,PRICE_CLOSE,MODE_SIGNAL,0);

MT5 version: (more info at https://www.mql5.com/en/docs/indicators/imacd)

int handle
double SignalBuffer[];

int Maxbars=20;

int OnInit()
{
 handle=iMACD(_Symbol,0,12,26,9,PRICE_CLOSE);

 return 0;
}

void OnTick()
{
 CopyBuffer(handle,1,0,Maxbars,SignalBuffer);

 if(SignalBuffer[0]>SignalBuffer[1])
  {
   //do something
  }

}

He mentions "I want to know how to display lines instead of histograms", doesn't he?

In that case, all he has to do is modify DRAW _ HISTOGRAM to DRAW _ LINE.

//--- the MACD plot 
#property indicator_label1  "MACD" 
#property indicator_type1   DRAW_LINE  //DRAW_HISTOGRAM 
#property indicator_color1  clrSilver 
#property indicator_style1  STYLE_SOLID 
#property indicator_width1  1
