I did it with "Spreadsheet Study" and its simple.

What I see MACD-EMA(MACD) is actually MACD Difference
and its by default ploted as histogram.

My "Spreadsheet Study" plots it as white line.

And actually MA of MACD general name.
SC don't specify is it SMA,EMA,WMA

If MACD indicator is based on EMA
then MA = EMA

Thanks for the response but I am not visually seeing the same as my other software. I need to subtract the EMA(MACD) not the MA(MACD)

MACD-EMA(MACD)

.....

If MACD indicator is based on EMA
then MA = EMA
...............

As Lemons said the MA of MACD is an EMA


Take your Pips, go out and Live.

Thanks for all the responses, where do you choose the bars for average of the EMA

EMA (MACD,"6") where 6 is bars used for average. That number is different to the MACD EMA's

as an example;

MACD(13,26)- EMA(MACD(13,26),6)
