    A MACD but with simple moving averages

    I'm just a beginner programming and I'd like to create a MACD with simple moving averages, to have a variation from exponential moving average.

    Where Can I see tips that actually could help me to construct this indicator?

    Thanks for any help

    If you're looking to simply have an MACD that is based on simple moving averages. You can open the MACD indicator in the editor, right-click and choose "save as" and give it a new name. Then you can go through and modify the code to use SMA.

    Mainly these lines:
    fastEma.Set((2.0 / (1 + Fast)) * Input[0] + (1 - (2.0 / (1 + Fast))) * fastEma[1]);
    slowEma.Set((2.0 / (1 + Slow)) * Input[0] + (1 - (2.0 / (1 + Slow))) * slowEma[1]);

    Should be:
    fastEMA.Set(SMA(Input, Fast)[0]);
    slowEMA.Set(SMA(Input, Slow)[0]);

    Of course you might also want to rename things to make them more appropriate like fastEMA to fastMA.
