I have this SMA Angle indicator. I got it in the thread of the 5 Min. Intraday System of Phillip Nel.

Hi,
I wonder if someone can help me code an angle indicator for the following selectable paramters:

SMA or EMA
xMA length
Average over a number of bars

Display angle on main chart as +20 deg , -20 deg , 0 deg etc. top right corner or position selectable.

Thanks
Farshad

Angles on the chart are relative. Zoom in or out the chart and it changes.
So, angles in degrees is nonsense. Use gann angles instead.
I guess the above indicator measures the difference in pips bwn the values of the MA for current and previous period... which is the only practical solution.

"Gann angle" sounds like BS.

There is no angle in a price chart, not even Gann can change this. There simply is no such thing. The only type of "angle"-like measurement you can ever calculate in a price chart is called slope and it is measured in [price]/[time] and calculated as Δprice/Δt or d/dt price(t), for example things like "100 pips per day" or "3$ per month".

You just described Gan angle...
X units of price per unit of time.
1 unit of price per 1 unit of time (ACA 1x1) is called 45 degree angle as it runs at 45 degree on a symmetrical chart. Also the multiples2x1, 4x1... and the 1x2, 1x4
...and yes, they don't change rashygomez
