Macd Display

[jaimeog]

GOOD DAY,

HOW CAN I GET THE MACD TO DISPLAY MORE DECIMALS...

IT DISPLAYS .001 , .002, ETC ... HOW CAN I GET THE NUMBERS
IN BETWEEN?

THANKS A LOT,

JAIME

Out of curiousity, what is the reason you want more precision in the display?

How many decimals is enough?

[ACM]

At this time it is not possible to increase the number of decimals beyond what is set by the application.
A workaround available through efs is to multiply the MACD values by some factor (for example 100 or 1000) to "shift" the values to the left. Enclosed below is a basic example of how to do this followed by a chart that compares the plots of the regular MACD and of the adjusted one

function preMain() {
    setStudyTitle("MACDx100");
    setCursorLabelName("MACD",0);
    setCursorLabelName("MACDSig",1);
    setCursorLabelName("MACDHist",2);
    setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.blue,0); 
    setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.red,1);
    setDefaultBarFgColor(Color.magenta,2); 
    setPlotType(PLOTTYPE_LINE,0);
    setPlotType(PLOTTYPE_LINE,1);
    setPlotType(PLOTTYPE_HISTOGRAM,2); 
}
 
var xMACD = null;
var xSignal = null;
var xHist = null;
 
function main(){
 
    if(xMACD==null) xMACD = macd(12,26,9);
    if(xSignal==null) xSignal = macdSignal(12,26,9);
    if(xHist==null) xHist = macdHist(12,26,9);
 
    if(xMACD.getValue(0)==null||xSignal.getValue(0)==null||xHist.getValue(0)==null) return;
 
    return new Array ((xMACD.getValue(0)*100),(xSignal.getValue(0)*100),(xHist.getValue(0)*100));
    
}
