Angle

[KennyK]

Hi, I am wondering if there is a way to code the angle of an EMA into an indicator? For example if I want to code an indicator to rate the trend based on the angle of an EMA, is that do-able somehow?
In laymans terms,
if the 20EMA is > 60 degrees the trend is up.
if the 20 EMA is < 60 degrees but > 120 degrees the trend is neutral.
if the 20 EMA is < 120 degrees the trend is down.

In this example the number of degrees is based on say a clock face with 0 degrees being at 12 o'clock 45 degrees at 3 o'clock and 180 degrees at 6 o'clock. I don't know what convention is used in c#?

Hoping you can shed some light on this for me?

Cheers,
Ken.

Search the forum on angle.

A bunch of posts show up.

Slope angle might not be what you are looking for.

Anyways, if you expand or contract either axis, things change pretty quickly.

Hi Ken,

There is a Slope() method you can call.

Below is a publicly available link to the help guide on Slope().

Thanks Sledge,
I will do that search, but I am not concerned if the angle changes when changing either axis, I understand this will happen, that is ok, because the angle of price changes with it.

Thanks for your input.
