MACD Without the Histogram?

Q: Steve F. writes in:

"Is there a way to separate the MACD lines form the histogram to get a clearer picture?"

A: Yes there is.  There are three things you can do depending on your needs:

1. If you just want to see the histogram and not the other lines, choose "MACD Histogram" from the Indicators dropdown instead of MACD.
2. If you just want to see the MACD Line, only enter 2 parameters in the Parameters box.  Leave off the third one.
3. If you are a member and you want both the MACD Line and the signal line, only enter 2 parameters in the Parameters box (like with #2) but then use the "Overlays" dropdown (in the "Advanced Options" area) to add back the 9 period EMA.

Here's a chart that shows all three possibilities:
