Have you looked at changing the MACD
parameters? If I understand your concern, this would produce a smoother
curve. The AB formula for MACD() is written with Param() so changing
parameters is easily done.

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

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.

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
