A MACD is a lagging indicator per se(
http://www.stockcharts.com/education/IndicatorAnalysis/indic_MACD1.html
) and has in-built smoothing.You could however use the Signal
Line as a
proxy for a smoothed MACD. To digress from your question for a
bit - How much more smoothing would you find appropriate in it? A
more reliable and less error prone method would be to trade MACD signal
on zero line crossovers. You could consider buying/selling the pull
back to the upswing/downswing which causes the zero line crossover. If
you find this riskier you can add an additional condition of trading in
the direction of the weekly MACD.

Is there a standard way to smooth the MACD? I don't see it as an option.
Using EMA() as the input to it didn't seem to work. I notice that some
software (but not AB) has 3 inputs to MACD: Fast length, slow length and
MACD smoothing length.
Thanks
