Is this a duplicate of #48?

If not, then please describe a bit more about the issue you are encountering.

Thank you for the quick reply.

Here’s a snapshot of my calculations:

I apologize for bringing up this topic again, but I wanted to clarify a few points. This is clearly a bug, but do all of the calculations appear valid except for the last two rows in the dataset? If that’s the case, is there a recommended method to recalculate those rows?

I attempted using a manually crafted EMA function to fix the final two invalid rows because i can use the warmup period, and it yielded decent results. Do you think this is a valid approach, or is there a better way to resolve the issue?

For now... there is no way around the problem, so the recommendation is to not use a period of 1 with MACD.

The solution will be handled by #48, which will likely be done at some point this year.
