Steve:
        Have you condidered using a weekly "equivalent" rather than weekly
bars? For instance, 10 weeks might be equivalent to 50 trading days. The
metastock web site gives the formula for the MACD Histogram as:

( mov( C,12,E ) - mov( C,26,E ) ) - mov( ( mov( C,12,E ) - mov( C,26,E ) ),9,E )

Converting the days to 5 day "weeks" would involve multiplying 12*5,
26*5,and 9*5 and substituting. Just a possible solution.
