Thanks Ernst !!!!!!!!!
That's exactly what I was after. Can you let me in on the secret as to where you found it - perhaps there are other gems I can discover ? :)
Thanks heaps
Martin

just added the oscillator of moving average to the MACD. i'm actually only working with OsMA's in three different timeframes which these guys made possible with their nice program. just put these 3 osma crossovers in your 30min chart, if the 30min indicator crosses over and the 5min and 4hour indicators are in the same direction it's a buy/sell. to close both the 5min and 30min must cross over. play around with the ema settings a bit to cover the breakouts. enjoy

forgot to mention, go to tools-options-charts and reduce the maximum bars in charts to 1000 or so and restart otherwise the program freezes.

I've been searching high and low for a custom MACD indicator which shows the histogram along with the 2 signal lines. This is the common (at least in my world) format viewing of this indicator and I use the two signals for seperation.
Is this something you're able to assist me with?
Any help would be wonderful.
Cheers
Martin
