I don't think so. Your buy = macd > ref(macd) and hist < ref(hist). However, the data you presented has macd > ref(macd) and hist > ref(hist) so the buy condition was not satisified.

To check out this condition, I reduced wrote a formula with just 2 conditions. Here is the formula, _SECTION_BEGIN("2 conditions only"); Filename = StrLeft(_DEFAULT_NAME(),StrLen(_DEFAULT_NAME())-2); // next 4 lines are for ER2 futures PointValue = 100; NumContracts = 1; MarginDeposit = 100; PositionSize = NumContracts * MarginDeposit; Range1= Optimize("range1",7,1,10,1); Range2= Optimize("range2",6,1,10,1); Plot(C,"",1,128); Plot(EMA( Close,range1), "Stopline", colorRed ); //Buy Signals Hist1 = MACD() - Signal(); Condition1 = MACD() > Ref(MACD(),-1); Condition3 = Hist1 < Ref(Hist1, -1); //Sell Signals Condition11 = MACD() < Ref(MACD(),-1) AND MACD() > 0; Condition3 = Hist1 < Ref(Hist1, -1); //Buy and Sell orders Buy = Condition1 AND Condition3; Sell =Condition11 AND Condition3; //Short and Cover conditions Short=Sell; Cover=Buy; AlertIf( Buy, "EMAIL", "A sample alert on "+FullName(), 1 ); However, I look at my chart and I have these figures. 10/11-Macd =11.81, signal = 12.64, histogram = -.0833732 10/10-Macd =11.34, signal = 12.85, histogram = -1.50653 However, my last trade was 9/27 until 10/25 with a short. I should have had a buy signal on 10/11 Thanks, Tom Sent: Friday, October 26, 2007 10:10 AM Subject: Re: [amibroker] MACD Histogram Based on your question, I assume that your formula is: buy = condition13 + other conditions; What are the other conditions? Is there an interaction between condition13 and other conditions? You haven't provided enough information.
