The equation for the Signal Line is = MACD OF T-1 + SMOOTHING FACTOR FOR 9 DAY MACD TIMES (THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CURRENT AND PREVIOUS MACD) Also the reference line you are describing is what others call the slow line. Excuse my ignorance but I really need to set the terminology right before I start using the MACD. Would appreciate it very much if you can help in this.
