How to plot the difference of 2 MA?

[valnie]

Can anyone please help?

I would like to plot an indicator of the differnce between a 5 period moving average and a 14 period moving average

5MA - 14 MA,

and on the same window plot a 7 period MA and a 14 period MA of the above difference

7MA of (5MA-14MA) and 14MA of (5MA-14MA)

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm new to EFS. Have been trying the whole night but keep getting syntax error.

If you plot a MACD set at 5 14 and 1 you will get the first line, then create another MACD 7 14 1 and over lay them

Yes... that works!

Thanks Dloomis! That works!

The attached efs plots the 5-14 and the 7 and 14 MAs of 5-14.

Thanks Alexis!

Now i see how it's being done... Need to brush up on my programming though... it's been years since I've done any variables declaration

Hi,
You can use the Price Oscillator to create the studies (rather than the MACD) - thats if you haven't used this already.
