Thanks, PRay for responding - wasn't on the computer all day... Further to my question: TC2000v4+ plots the actual MACD (of course, the difference between the 12-day and 26-day EMAs of price). They then have a 9-day MA trigger line which is plotted along on the same graph. That's okay, but, I find, IMHO, that Windows on Wall street actaully plots the 9-day trigger as a histogram, which is much more clear and easy to use. I wanted to scan on increasing MACD (9-day EMA), so I found I had to constuct my own formula if I wanted to do it the same way in TC as in WOW. Now, of course, I further find that you really can't do AVG(AVGC12,9-AVGC26,9) in TC! Arggghhh! So, now what? Still trying to find a mythymatical workaround! Anyone know how to do this, i.e., actually find a way to do REAL MACD in TC? From your post, PRay, sounds like MACD may still not be all there in TC. bst rgds, ron
