Alvin,

No problem!

By calling the variable, you must add the name to the end of the 
formula like this:

stp:=12; {periods of the short-term ema}
ltp:=26; {periods of the long-term ema}
slp:=9; {periods of the MACD's signal line}
g:=3; {periods of consecutive higher values of the MACD's Histogram}
r:=3; {periods of consecutive lower values of the MACD's Histogram}

md:=mov(c,stp,e)-mov(c,ltp,e); {This is MACD}
mmd:=mov(md,slp,e); {MACD's singal line}
mdh:=md-mmd; {MACD's Histogram}
rmd:=roc(mdh,1,$); {Roc of MACD's Histogram}

buy:=rmd>0 and barssince(ref(rmd>0,-1))>=r; {We buy when we have
MACD's Histogram turning up plus there have been r-bars of MACD
Histogram consecutive lower values}

BUY;


or like this:

stp:=12; {periods of the short-term ema}
ltp:=26; {periods of the long-term ema}
slp:=9; {periods of the MACD's signal line}
g:=3; {periods of consecutive higher values of the MACD's Histogram}
r:=3; {periods of consecutive lower values of the MACD's Histogram}

md:=mov(c,stp,e)-mov(c,ltp,e); {This is MACD}
mmd:=mov(md,slp,e); {MACD's singal line}
mdh:=md-mmd; {MACD's Histogram}
rmd:=roc(mdh,1,$); {Roc of MACD's Histogram}


sell:=rmd<0 and barssince(ref(rmd<0,-1))>=g; {we sell when we have
MACD's Histogram turning down plus there have been g-bars of MACD's
Histogram consecutive higher values}

SELL;


Equis has several manuals that can help you learn the format and 
lanquage. A programming guide can be found at the Equis and the 
users manual can be found in our files section. These are excellent 
guides/learning tools.

I haven't had a chance to work on this yet but should have something 
for you shortly.
