Adding Slope Indicator With Enhanced Options NT8 in strategy builder

[AlpinesTrading]

Which is the best way to add this indicator to a strategy so the parameters can be adjusted as needed? Thank you for the helps!

Hello AlpinesTrading,

Thanks for your post.

You could consider creating user-defined int input properties in the script to allow a user to define the startBarsAgo and endBarsAgo arguments used for the Slope() method.

Then, you would pass those variables into the Slope() method to define the startBarsAgo and endBarsAgo arguments.

For example, you could create two user-defined int properties named something like 'StartBars' and 'EndBars'. Then use StartBars and EndBars when calling Slope(). Ex:

Print(Slope(SMA(20), StartBars, EndBars));

See the help guide documentation for more information.

{
// Prints the slope of the 20 period simple moving average of the last 10 bars
Print(Slope(SMA(20), 10, 0));

}

can the SlopeEnhancedOp indicator plot this and I am not sure I follow the inputs for this indicator

Thanks

Hello DTSSTS,

Thanks for your post.

Are you referring to an indicator from the NinjaTrader Ecosystem User App Share called SlopeEnhancedOp?

SlopeEnhancedOp: https://ninjatraderecosystem.com/use...d-options-nt8/

If so, the SlopeEnhancedOp indicator has used-defined inputs that could be used for the indicator (SMA, EMA, HMA, etc) that you select, such as Period, Detrend Period, and Smooth.

Period is the Period of the moving average, SMA, HMA, etc. DetrendPeriod is the Period for the detrending linear regression (affects nothing if Detrend is not set to true). Smooth is the smoothing parameter.

If you have this indicator downloaded and imported onto your platform, you could study the code of the SlopeEnhancedOp indicator to see how it functions. To view the code of the imported indicator, open a New > NinjaScript Editor window, open the Indicators folder, and double-click the 'SlopeEnhancedOp' file.
