 Please help me with Weekly MACD lines divergence PCF using 3,13,8 criteria. I do not want the histogram just the lines.


thanks

 I'm actually not sure what you mean by divergence in this case. The following Personal Criteria Formulas might be components of a PCF to find a divergence:

I know you indicated you didn't need the Histogram, but it may be useful in detecting a divergence depending on the definition. Here are some possibilities:

Increasing Raw MACD and decreasing MACD Trigger:

D > 0 AND E < 0

Decreasing Raw MACD and increasing MACD Trigger:

D < 0 AND E > 0

Raw MACD and MACD Trigger slopes have different Signs:

SGN(D ) <> SGN(E )

Raw MACD and MACD Trigger are getting further apart:

SGN(C ) = SGN(F )

You need to substitute the appropriate PCF components for A, B, C, D, E and F. If you provide an objective definition of the divergence you wish to detect, we may be able to help you refine your PCF further. You may wish to review the following:
