I notice Bullish Divergence on the spy from the 10/11 candle to last candle close. But it only shows up on the prophet charts with the hook. On tos charts the macd settings are the same 8,17,9 BUT it sure doesn't look the same. Does anyone know how to get the tos chart settings for the MACD to resemble the same ones in the prophet charts?

Remember P Charts has dividends but into profit charts
not sure if that is why

Scott...Both prophet and tos charts are showing the hook...I'm guessing you're not using the same settings on both charts...Dave

Thanks much Dave. I can see the hook now. It just looks so different as in prophet charts none of the histogram is even above the zero line, where as TOS charts have the last 5 bars above the zero line.
