Print Slope Value

[Shadowshorter]

Hi,

How can I get the slope of a given MA to print? Been struggling with this for a while.. So that I can re-use these printed values with the Slope and Numeric Value conditions.
I understand that values will be completely different depending on the MA being used so its tricky to get an idea of scale when you want to create MA slope conditions.
There are plenty of indicators that give MA slope values in degrees but this is not helpful for setting slope thresholds using Slope and Numeric Values.
So how do I go about getting the numeric value of an MA slope, for slope condition building, to print?

Thanks

Hello Shadowshorter,

You may print the values of the slope using the Print() statement and opening up the Output Window (In the Control Center -> Tools). For example:

Print("Slope of the SMA(20) = "+Slope(SMA(20), 10, 0));

Here is a link to our Help Guide that you may view for another reference.

Thanks for your reply, works great. Can I add a time print too so that I know exactly which printed value refers which moment in time?

Thanks

Hello Shadowshorter,

Yes, you may use the "Time" object for this.

Print("Time of current bar is: "+Time[0]);
