Default

for the lines you can add 2 MAs lines to the MACD indicator window. you can throw in RSI if you want to.

base one a pic alone, nobody would be able to tell exact setting on the macd. the default should be good enough.

Default Re: MACD Settings for MT4..

It seems that the MACD indicator from MT4 is not the basis ones we all use. the line seems to be the signal line but don't know about the histogram.

I attached a "true" MACD.

I might be a little late to the game, but have you checked out Johan Kriek's version of the MACD indicator? You can see it here:
