Hi, Ed: I get identical values for QP and Metastock (when I load 500 days or
more in Metastock, as you said). Metastock and QP are not using slightly
different equations.

Here's the MACD formula I'm using in Metastock:

period1:=12;
period2:=26;
period3:=9;
Mov(C,period1,E) - Mov(C,period2,E);
Mov((Mov(C,period1,E) - Mov(C,period2,E)),period3,E)

This formula shows the MACD and its signal line. The values are identical (to
five decimal places) to those in QP.
