MACD from Ema to Sma

[schaun_oh]

Hi All,

Reaching out to see if anyone has modified a MACD from Exponential to Simple? I would like to be able to switch the Fast, Slow, and Smooth to either Ema or Sma. I tried tweaking the MACD that comes with NT8, but not sure I did anything.

I turned the slowEma to slowSma, but again not sure that worked correctly. Also, I have no idea where to even start with the Smooth making it either Ema or Sma.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Shaun,

I'm not aware of an existing indicator as you have described, this thread will remain open for any community members that may know of this or who would like to build this for you as a convenience.

The equation for the fast and slow ema is the same, but uses different inputs for the period.
Try comparing the following to the EMA indicator's code:

constant1 = 2.0 / (1 + Fast);
constant2 = (1 - (2.0 / (1 + Fast)));
double fastEma0 = constant1 * input0 + constant2 * fastEma[1];

Instead, you could replace this with the code from the SMA indicator.
