Ken, Thank you. I will give it ride around the block and see if it is the Holy Grail.  Only kidding.  Marshall

  Marshall:

  Here is the code, modified somewhat because I cut and pasted to eliminate some internal comments and other stuff that is not relevant to the conference.  However, I have checked this modified code and it does plot without error.

  Ken

  // Calculates and plots the RUTTR MACD (actually any symbol)



  shortma = Param("Shortma",45,30,60,1);

  longma = Param("LongMA",90,60,120,1);

  signalma = Param("SignalMA",8,3,16,1); ;

  // Symbol = Input your symbol here

  // Array = Foreign(Symbol,"C"); // Use when you do not want the MACD to change

  Array = C;

  Symbol = Name();//This added to allow Title statement to work. Delete if using Foreign symbol.

  function MACDHistogram(Array, Shortma, LongMa, Signalma)

  {

  MACDLine = EMA(Array, shortma) - EMA(Array, longma);

  signalline = EMA(MACDLine, signalma);

  macdhisto = (MACDLine - signalline);

  return(MACDhisto);

  }

  MACDHisto = MACDHistogram(Array, Shortma, LongMa, Signalma);

  Color = IIf(MACDHisto>0,colorGreen,colorRed);

  Color2 = LastValue(SelectedValue(Color));

  Plot(MACDHisto,"MACDHisto "+Shortma+"/"+Longma+"/"+Signalma,Color,styleHistogram);

  Plot(MACDHisto,"",colorWhite,styleLine);

  Title = EncodeColor(colorDefault) + Date() + EncodeColor(colorDefault) + " Symbol = " 

  + Symbol + EncodeColor(color2) + " MACD ["

  + Shortma + "/" + Longma+"/" + Signalma

  + "] = " + EncodeColor(color2) + WriteVal(MACDHisto,1.2) ; 

  Up=Cross(MACDHisto,0);

  Dn=Cross(0,MACDHisto);

  PlotShapes(Up*shapeUpArrow,5);

  PlotShapes(Dn*shapeDownArrow,4);

  Ken, What is your formula for this MACD? It is very clear.  Thanks Marshall
