Barry,
They are identical on my machine.
// PPO Percentage Price Osc from MS and AB
// Same as MACD
T1=Param("Fast Periods",7,2,100,1);
T2=Param("Slow Periods",28,2,100,1);
PPO = 100*(EMA(C,T1) - EMA(C,T2))/ EMA(C,T2); // MS
test=OscP( T1 , T2 ) ;
Plot(PPO," MS Percentage Price Osc ",2,1);
//Plot(," AB Percentage Price Osc ",0,1);
Plot(OscP(T1,T2),"AB OscP",3,1); //AB
//======================================
// from http://www.amibroker.com/library/detail.php?id=1113
// PPO X 100
PPOShort = T1;
PPOLong = T2;
//PPOsignal = Param("PPOsignal", 9, 1, 150, 1);
PPO = (EMA(C, PPOShort ) - EMA(C, PPOLong ))/ EMA(C, PPOLong );
//PPOS = (EMA(ppo, PPOsignal ));
//Val=ppo-PPOS ;
Plot( PPO*100 , "ppo", colorGreen, styleLine| styleThick );
//Plot ( PPOS ,"PPO Signal", colorOrange, styleLine| styleThick );
//dynamic_color = IIf( Val> 0, colorGreen, colorRed );
//Plot( Val, "PPO Histogram", dynamic_color, styleHistogram | styleThick );

But if you plot them both and look at the values there are off even when you
multiply PPO by 100. There is something going on in OscP that makes the results
different and I haven't a clue what it is. The small difference may not make
any difference. Maybe OscP is not using EMAs. I don't know. I just know they do
not return the same results. Maybe testing both will determine if either can be
used.

multiply the ema(fast) - ema(slow)/ema(slow) by 100. OscP() already does that.
If you don't want the result in % then divide by 100. The key thing is that
OscP() does the ema() calculation. The Users Guide should make that point.
