Jeff,
You can use the PRICE OSCILLATOR function instead of MACD(). MS help
gives that explanation :
SYNTAX : oscp( PERIODS, PERIODS, MA_METHOD, DIFF_METHOD )
FUNCTION : Calculates the PERIODS/PERIODS predefined Price Oscillator
indicator calculated using the MA_METHOD moving average method expressed
in DIFF_METHOD.
Valid MA_METHODs are SIMPLE, EXPONENTIAL, WEIGHTED, TIMESERIES,
TRIANGULAR, and VARIABLE (these can be abbreviated as S, E, W, T, TRI,
VAR).
Valid DIFF_METHODs are PERCENT and POINTS (these can be abbreviated as %
and $).
EXAMPLE : The formula "oscp(1, 25, E, $)" returns a 1-period/25-period
exponential price oscillator expressed in points.
So Jeff, if you use OscP( 12,26, E, $ ) and add a 9 periods exponential
moving average of this indicator as signal line, you have about the same
result that MACD(). You can now change the parameters.
