MACD is actually the difference between two moving averages.

Do you need something like the Multi MA Price Channel V2 indicator?

Thanks for the help everyone, the MACD works perfectly. I adjusted the smoothing to 10000 and it will show the difference between the two ema's. I never really use that indicator before but it suits my purpose now.

you don't have to go to that extreme just to see diff between 2 EMAs, try this setting instead.
