Hi Lary --
The McClellan Oscillator is based on the number of advancing issues minus the
number of declining issues. Subtract a slower exponential moving average
of that from a faster moving average of that.
Looking at this web site:
http://forum.esignalcentral.com/showthread.php?s=91481c8fcaafc0edeb1c5fabc4d5e53c&postid=96971
for eSignal tickers, the ticker for the NASDAQ Number of Advancing Issues minus
Number of Declining Issues is $ADDQ.
So, the AmiBroker code for the McClellan Oscillator for the NASDAQ is probably
this:
McCQ = EMA($ADDQ,19) - EMA($ADDQ,39);
For the NYSE:
McC = EMA($ADD,19) - EMA($ADD,39);
You do not need the ADVISSUES function because eSignal has taken care of that
for you.
I may be on thin ice here because I do not subscribe to eSignal and cannot run
the code. Let us all know if this worked.
Thanks,
Howard

I am trying to get
McClellan Osc to work with eSignal data
The following formula
does not seem to work, any advice would be appreciate.
/*
McClellan
Oscillator
*/
Graph0 = EMA( AdvIssues("$advq",(C))-DecIssues("$declq",(C)), 19 ) - EMA( AdvIssues("$advq",(C))-DecIssues("$declq",(C)), 39 );
Thanks, Larry
