Jeff or Steve,

Seems to be an odd question as Metastock does not allow you to change the 
value of MACD(). It is set at 12 and 26. Check the explanation in the "HELP" 
section.

On the other hand if you are using a custom indicator consider that if you 
were to change the value of the MACD it would change the value of the 
trigger since it is nothing more than a moving average of the MACD. Consider 
this:

{MY MACD}
A:=mov( close, 12, E) - mov( close, 26, E);
B:=mov(A, 9, E);
A; B;
{end}

Now if you change any of the values of the A variable(MACD) it will have an 
effect on the B variable(trigger) since the A variable is part of that 
variable as well. You should be able to change the value of the B lookbacks 
without it effecting the A variable.
