Would like help with a PCF that reflects the MACD Histogram (8,13,9) crossing down thru 0 by at least  .10, and the converse:  crossing up thru 0 by at least .10.  Thanks.

If you mean the Exponential MACD Histogram 8,13,9 must be at least .1 above or below 0 while being on the other side of 0 during the previous bar then the crossing down formula could be written as:

XAVGC8 - XAVGC13 - XAVG(XAVGC8,9) + XAVG(XAVGC13,9) <= (-.1) AND XAVGC8.1 - XAVGC13.1 - XAVG(XAVGC8.1,9) + XAVG(XAVGC13.1,9) > 0

And the crossing up formula could be written as:

XAVGC8 - XAVGC13 - XAVG(XAVGC8,9) + XAVG(XAVGC13,9) >= .1 AND XAVGC8.1 - XAVGC13.1 - XAVG(XAVGC8.1,9) + XAVG(XAVGC13.1,9) < 0
