Re: [amibroker] Re: Newbie here......Question about PPO

First, in my haste I have a typo in the title - should be EMA * 100.  Here is the code used to create the chart:
 

Plot( OscP( 8, 34 ), "OscP", colorRed );

Plot( 100 * (( EMA(C, 8 ) - EMA( C, 34 ) ) / EMA( C, 34 ) ), "EMA Ratio * 100", colorYellow, styleDots);

There is something goofy all right. I rewrote the formulas and put them one indicator and subtracted one from the other and the delta is 0 at 5 places. But when I put them in separate indicators they give different results. really odd. I will play with some more.

Thanks,
Barry

There is something going on in OscP that makes the results different and I haven't a clue what it is. The small difference may not make any difference. Maybe OscP is not using EMAs. I don't know. I just know they do not return the same results. Maybe testing both will determine if either can be used.
