Please try these PCFs in Daily Time Frame:

Exp MACD 12,26,9 Histogram, Above 0, Today
(XAVGC12.0 - XAVGC26.0) - (XAVG(XAVGC12.0,9) - XAVG(XAVGC26.0,9)) >0

Exp MACD 12,26,9 Histogram, Below 0, Today
(XAVGC12.0 - XAVGC26.0) - (XAVG(XAVGC12.0,9) - XAVG(XAVGC26.0,9)) <0

Exp MACD12,26,9 Crossing x UP Exp SL9, Today, or (Exp Histogram x UP 0)
(XAVGC12 - XAVGC26) > (XAVG(XAVGC12,9) - XAVG(XAVGC26,9)) AND (XAVGC12.1 - XAVGC26.1) < (XAVG(XAVGC12.1,9) - XAVG(XAVGC26.1,9))

Exp MACD12,26,9 Crossing x DN Exp SL9,Today or (Exp Histogram x DN 0)
(XAVGC12 - XAVGC26) < (XAVG(XAVGC12,9) - XAVG(XAVGC26,9)) AND (XAVGC12.1 - XAVGC26.1) > (XAVG(XAVGC12.1,9) - XAVG(XAVGC26.1,9))

Exp MACD12,26,9 Crossing x UP/DN Exp SL9, Today or (Exp Histogram x UP/DN 0)
SGN((XAVGC12.0 - XAVGC26.0) - (XAVG(XAVGC12.0,9) - XAVG(XAVGC26.0,9))) - SGN((XAVGC12.1 - XAVGC26.1) - (XAVG(XAVGC12.1,9) - XAVG(XAVGC26.1,9)))

 bgm,
The formula for the MACD being above its Moving Average is exactly the same as the formula for the MACD Histogram being above zero (the first formula provided by Winnie) and the formula for the MACD being below its Moving Average is exactly the same as the formula for the MACD Histogram being below zero (the second formula provided).
