Hi lohzi97,

This seems to be a bug. I reported this to the product team and will be fixed in a future update. The correct values are the ones printed by the cBot.

Thanks for the reply.

I think the correct values are the ones that is on screen, aren't it? If you compare it with the cTrader built in MACD indicator, you will notice that in daily timeframe, 19/10/2020 21:00, the MACD histogram value is -0.00091 which is similar to the custom indicator that i have wrote. Then if you change the timeframe down to 4H, the custom indicator histogram value is still -0.00091. 

Please see the attached image below:

Built in MACD Crossover (Daily)

Custom Indicator value (Daily)

Custom Indicator value (4H)

If the on screen value is incorrect, then it means that the built in MACD Crossover indicator has bug?

 

Best regards,

Loh
