Rakesh:
I'm using peak and trough on the MACD. But
I'm getting too many signals on my current MACD line becuase it is very
rough. I'd like to smooth out the line, which would be useful in addition
to adjusting the Peak and Trough sensitivity.
thanks

Subject: Re: [amibroker] Smoothing the
MACD
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
