Hi I have problem setting these indicators:
MACD(8,17,9) where 9 is the signal line, 17 is the long period and 8 is the short period.
Slow Stochastics (14,3) where 14 is %k and 3 is %D.
Volume SMA (50).
I cannot find the indicators on the scroll down list to do the above (Maybe they are named differently). Pls above.
Regards,
Lewis

The MACD is hard-coded to use 12 and 26. You would want to make a custom indicator to be able to customize these values:
X:=Input("Enter 1st MACD Value",1,1000,12);
Y:=Input("Enter 2nd MACD Value",1,1000,26);
Z:=Input("Enter Signal Line Value",1,1000,9);
Mov(C,X,E)-Mov(C,Y,E);
Mov(Mov(C,X,E)-Mov(C,Y,E),Z,E)
For the Stochastic Oscillator, you have %K Periods and %K Slowing. Then you have %D which is a Moving Average of %K. This indicator should be in the Indicator QuickList (The drop-down list at the top of MetaStock).
For a 50 SMA of the volume, all you would need to do is plot a moving average directly onto the volume bars of your chart (The volume bars should turn pink when you drop the moving average on them).
It can also be done with a custom formula if you really want to:
Mov(V,50,S)

Hi, thanks for the quick reply.I have succeeded in the MACD and Stochastics. I tried the Volume MA (50) and it doesn't seems to be correct. The lines are quite high above the volumes and it is plotted like a price SMA(30) with up and down a lot.
