Hello All, does anyone know of a NT8 indicator to plot ema slopes on a chart. Looking for a quick way to indentify flattening ema's and markets

Thanks

so, you will prob get this answer from most forums ..slope depends on scale of chart, as soon as you change the chart scale the slope will change, as soon as you zoom in or out, the slope will change .. as soon as the chart autoscales where you get lots of volatility the slope will change etc etc etc .. however .. saying that .. you can calc it something like this .. milage will vary .. and I added a fiddle factor on the end based on what I saw when testing .. you can change this or play around with it etc ..

//ema 10
int ema0 = 10;
//slope over the last 5 * bars with a factor of 3 // basically in back testing I waited till the volatility took the bars exponential and adjusted the factor till it looked righti'sh ...
double MA1_angle = Math.Atan( Slope(EMA(BarsArray[0], ema0), 5, 0) ) * ((180 / Math.PI)/(TickSize*3.0));

also, not 100% but Matt Bowen has a group of indicators that might have MA slope in it, you would need to ping him to ask him .. http://www.nobstrades.com/vwap-map

Hi markbb10, thanks for your post.

12tkram's answer is correct here, you can use the Slope method and feed in the EMA to get the slope of the EMA over a defined period.
