How to code this logic?

Hi expert coders, I am not smart enough to think of how to code this logic so I am asking for your help please.

I'm looking for a way for the EA to only take trades during the period indicated by the 2nd circle (which also means it does not trade the 1st circle).

So I only want it to trade during trendy periods. Visually I can do it manually by looking at the angle between the MA's. But I am looking for automation.

Any ideas?

Thanks

it's easy enough, just calculate the slope of the MAs and set a minimum threshold...
or alternatively price change over time will do the same thing.... as will half a dozen momentum indicators out there...
but of course the concept is not the best trading strategy, because by the time it is measurable it could end, the standard problem with indicators.
but if you want to do it then as I said will work

What Exactly Do you need.
can you code are you asking for it to be done
or ideals on how it could be done.

Some other possible ideas:
1. Use MT4 supplied indicator ADX (Average directional index).
2. Distance (number of pips) between MAs exceeds nominated value = trend.
3. Multiple MAs. When all MAs align in sequence, trend exists. While MAs are in the tangled process of crossing, movement is sideways.
