class=551153110-25102003>oops tomasz, you're correct, careless, and not the
first time, truly sorry for that.

<SPAN
class=551153110-25102003>however, I don't think that's the reason that the EMA
and AMA versions act differently, even with static numbers. I made the change,
and backtest results are still different, but only when either or both of the
second two EMAs are replaced by EMAx. the first one doesn't seem to make a
difference, at least on the data I tried.

You should really check your code twice or more. It is really easy and
would save me
hundreds of hours of answering such basic stuff.
Your formula has simply a basic error:
YOUR CODE (wrong):
========
function MACDHistogram()
{ if(using_arrays)
{ m = EMAx(c, 12) - EMAx(c, 26);// MACD
line s = m -
EMAx(m, 9); // <--- WRONG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Signal line is
simply EMA of MACD. Not MACD - EMA( MACD) !!!!! }
else
{ m = EMA(c, 12) - EMA(c, 26); s =
m - EMA(m, 9); // <---
WRONG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Signal line is simply EMA of MACD. Not MACD - EMA( MACD)
!!!!! } hist = m - s; // histogram return
hist;}
CORRECTED CODE:
YOUR CODE (wrong):
========
function MACDHistogram()
{ if(using_arrays)
{ m = EMAx(c, 12) - EMAx(c, 26);// MACD
line s = EMAx(m, 9); // <--- GOOD! Signal
line is simply EMA of MACD. }
else
{ m = EMA(c, 12) - EMA(c, 26); s
= EMA(m, 9); <--- GOOD! Signal line is simply EMA of
MACD. } hist = m - s; // histogram is HERE
!!! return hist;}

if you want an EMA with varperiod download indicators.dll and use
