Hi, bustermu

You showed me the PCF on 10/14/2006 below;

The shortest PCF for MACD(12,26,9) Histogram minus its EMA5 is:

(16/357)*(17*XAVGC5-49*XAVGC9+34*XAVGC12-2*XAVGC26)


Could you show for MACD(36.78.18) too?

Chaser,

1) Write the formula you require:

XAVGC36-XAVGC78-XAVG(XAVGC36,18)+XAVG(XAVGC78,18)
-XAVG(XAVGC36,5)+XAVG(XAVGC78,5)+XAVG(XAVG(XAVGC36,18),5)-XAVG(XAVG(XAVGC78,18),5)

2) Repeatedly apply Theorem 1 of:

Cascades of Moving Averages

to the cascades of the EMAs until all are removed. The result will give you the a,b,c,d of:

a*XAVGC5+b*XAVGC18+c*XAVGC36+d*XAVGC78

Thanks,
Jim Murphy

I tested it, the results came out were wrong, why?

Chaser,

If you tell us what you tested, someone will tell you why "the results came out were wrong".

I noticed that you asked essentially the same question where the Moving Average of Period 5 was an SMA rather than an EMA. It is an EMA here. That may be the problem.

Thanks,
Jim Murphy

Let's take a look at
USG 4.98
NBIX 3.25

BLS -1.96
MBT -1.78

Oh, I think I mislead you.

The shortest PCF for MACD(12,26,9) Histogram minus its EMA5 is:

(16/357)*(17*XAVGC5-49*XAVGC9+34*XAVGC12-2*XAVGC26)


Could you show for MACD(36.78.18) too?---I want you to show me the MACD(36.78.18) Histogram minus its EMA5 PCF too.

A PCF for MACD(36,78,18) Histogram minus its EMA5 is:

(17/1323855)*(9490*XAVGC36-1209*XAVGC78-15841*XAVGC18+7560*XAVGC5)

The MACD(P,Q,R)Histogram minus its EMA of Period S is of the form:

((R-1)*(S-1)/((R-P)*(R-Q)*(S-P)*(S-Q)*(S-R)))
*((R-Q)*(S-Q)*(S-R)*XAVGCP
-(R-P)*(S-P)*(S-R)*XAVGCQ
+(Q-P)*(S-P)*(S-Q)*XAVGCR
-((R-Q)*(S-Q)*(S-R)-(R-P)*(S-P)*(S-R)+(Q-P)*(S-P)*(S-Q))*XAVGCS)

Caution: A different form must be used if there is a divide by zero.

Thanks,
Jim Murphy
