Charles,
I am familiar with her work and have traded some of her set-ups. The
"fast" line of the MACD is a 3-period simple moving average minus a
10-period simple moving average. The "slow" line is the 16-period
moving average of the "fast" line. I am not familiar with Ensign, but
my Metastock code is:
Mov(C,3,S)-Mov(C,10,S)
I then drop a 16-period sma on top of it. Hope this helps.
