I want the MACD values all at once!

Hello. This is just a little fx.

Well, as the title suggests,EA CreatorI tried making a function that grabs all at once the MACD values based on source code output by EA Creator.

Honestly, not great.

Now, without further ado, the function.

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Function to obtain MACD and Signal values
//|   Processing: Get MACD and Signal line values for a specified timeframe, EMA periods, and signal SMA period
//|   Arguments: period       - Timeframe (0 uses the current chart's timeframe)
//|              fastEMA      - Short-term EMA period
//|              slowEMA      - Long-term EMA period
//|              signalSMA    - SMA period for the signal line
//|              shift        - Bar position to retrieve (0 for current bar, 1 for one bar ago, etc.)
//|   Return: MACDValues structure containing MACD and Signal line values
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
struct MACDValues {
   double macd;   // MACD value
   double signal; // Signal line value
};

MACDValues getMACDValues(string symbol, int period, int fastEMA, int slowEMA, int signalSMA, int shift)
{
   MACDValues macdValues;

   // Retrieve MACD value
   macdValues.macd = iMACD(symbol, period, fastEMA, slowEMA, signalSMA, PRICE_CLOSE, MODE_MAIN, shift);

   // Retrieve Signal line value
   macdValues.signal = iMACD(symbol, period, fastEMA, slowEMA, signalSMA, PRICE_CLOSE, MODE_SIGNAL, shift);

   return macdValues;
}

I tried using a struct variable.

Here is how to use it.

void OnTick()
{
   // Set MACD parameters
   string symbol  = Symbol();
   int fastEMA    = 12;
   int slowEMA    = 26;
   int signalSMA  = 9;
   int period     = PERIOD_H1; // Use the current chart's timeframe (1-hour chart)

   // Retrieve MACD and Signal values
   MACDValues macdValues = getMACDValues(symbol, period, fastEMA, slowEMA, signalSMA, 0);

   // Print MACD and Signal values to the log
   Print("MACD: ", macdValues.macd, " Signal: ", macdValues.signal);
}

How about that?

Once you get used to it, it’s easy.

See you again.
