indicator for measuring slope?

Hello everyone!

Okay, so maybe I missed this somewhere . . . If so, I apologize. But I have searched and not found any info on a tool that measures the slope of a line. (I am interested in measuring the slope of the MACD signal). If there is anything out there I would appreciate it!!

Have a great day.

Do yo mean an indicator that tells you the angle of a slope?

you got it!

I would like to measure the angle of the slope. (Both for removing some level of discretion and also for the ability to program an ea). Thank you in advance if you happen to know.

As one zooms out, (i.e., fewer viewable bars on the chart) the angle of the trendline will become flatter, zoom in, ( more viewable bars on the chart) the angle will become steeper. Perhaps a more objective way to measure the slope would be similar to the way highway road grade angle is measured, in percentage grade. If a road way slopes up 14 feet over a 100 foot distance, the grade is said to be 14%. So perhaps by measuring the difference in price over 10 bars, one could calculate the percentage grade.

ObjectGetValueByShift("Trendline Name",0)-ObjectGetValueByShift("Trendline Name",10) / 10 * 100 = Percentage grade

or

ObjectGetValueByShift("Trendline Name",0)-ObjectGetValueByShift("Trendline Name",1)*100 = Percentage grade

From memory I think there may have been something in the Philip Nel 5 minute thread that purported to do this.
