OPEN-SOURCE SCRIPT
Moving Average Slope [aamonkey]
Updated
This indicator tries to identify ranging and trending markets.
It measures the angle of a Moving Average in order to filter out ranging markets.
The idea is to only enter a trend following trade if the slope is steep enough.
In order to create this indicator, I used a strategy script from bennef called "Trend Angle BF" and slightly modified it to transform it from an entry/exit indicator to a filter.
The calculations are based on Evergrets "Jurik MA" and angle calculation by KyJ.
