I am having alignment issues with MACDZ and the actual trade entry on the price chart. Panel = variables: makes clear and correct trade entry and exit, as per the actual (stated above) green peak = long trade entry red peak = short trade entry black shape -1 = stop loss hit black shape +1 = opposite signal hit see attached images, there is a clear mis-alignment of the MACDZ no matter the param values I use. Also attached is param variable for said MACDZ Code snippets pasted, as coded… Any guidance on this is very much appreciated, as always. NT BTW: we really need to use discord… it is so much easier to use, to share code, chat, links to chat, upload files etc…. !!! and so very easy to manage…. 🙂

In the settings panel of the indicators, next to each line returned, you can find the style and thickness (as from the attached pic).
