That indeed solved it. Thank you very very much for the quick response!

Hello,

I am new to backtrader. I have experienced with some indicators like RSI, EMA9, MACD and MACDHisto. All indicators produce correct output EXPECT MACDHisto. MACDHisto output has exact same value as MACD. This looks like a bug to me. Strange enough nobody else has yet stumbled upon this.

    def __init__(self):
        # Keep a reference to the "close" line in the data[0] dataseries
        self.dataclose = self.datas[0].close

        # To keep track of pending orders and buy price/commission
        self.order = None
        self.buyprice = None
        self.buycomm = None

        # Add a MovingAverageSimple indicator
        self.sma = bt.indicators.SimpleMovingAverage(
            self.datas[0], period=self.params.maperiod)
        self.rsi = bt.indicators.RSI(self.datas[0])
        self.ema9 = bt.indicators.EMA(self.datas[0], period=9)
        self.macdhisto = bt.indicators.MACDHisto(
            self.datas[0], period_me1=12, period_me2=26, period_signal=9 )
        self.macd = bt.indicators.MACD(
            self.datas[0], period_me1=12, period_me2=26, period_signal=9 )

<output omitted>

    def next(self):
        # Simply log the closing price of the series from the reference
        self.log('Close, %.2f, MACD %2.f, MACDhisto %2.f, RSI %2.f, EMA9 %2.f' %(self.dataclose[0], self.macd[0], self.macdhisto[0],self.rsi[0],self.ema9[0]))

This produces the following output, note that MACDHisto has same value as MACD
