The only way i have found to fix this is to fix the scale but this can cut off readings sometimes.
The standard MT4 MACD is actually just the 2 MACD lines one line is made into a Histogram so that is why it looks different so the Histogram it shows is not the normal MACD Histogram. I have altered a 2 color MACD which should do what you require.

in the inputs you will see these settings

This set up gives a standard MACD & Histo

extern int Histo_Size = 1;//1=Standard Lines & Histo
extern bool Show_MACDLine = true;
extern bool Show_MACDSigLine = true
;


This setup gives no lines and a bigger Histo

extern int Histo_Size = 2;//1=Standard Lines & Histo
extern bool Show_MACDLine = false;
extern bool Show_MACDSigLine = false;
