Maybe I did it wrong. I pulled up a chart of the NASDAQ then put the MO as an indicator on it in a different window. Maybe I should have used the NDX or else MetaStock computes it different. Maybe there's also settings you can change. I think it defaults to a difference between two averages in the base equation of I remember correctly so one system may use a different set of MAs to come up with a value? A quick Google search says this, "The McClellan Oscillator is calculated by subtracting a 39 day exponential moving average (of advancing issues – declining issues) from a 19 day exponential moving average (of advancing issues – declining issues)." Maybe stockcharts uses something different or my program does. EDIT - I wonder what would happen if I put the indicator directly on the advance/decline chart itself?
