degree/angle of a trendline??

[fiveohmustang]

Hello-brand new to ninja trader. I tried the search function but could not find what I was looking for. Is there an option or measurement tool that will tell me the degree/angle of a trendline? I am coming from sierra charts where It shows the degree of angle under the "ruler" drawing tool. I tried the ruler on ninja but I could not find a degree of angle option. Most likely I am over-looking it. If anyone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.
p.s. I have the latest version of ninjatrader

Thank You,
Brad

Hello Brad,

Unfortunately we do not support such an option. The Ruler object will only display the X and Y values.

I will forward your inquiry to display the degree/angle for the Ruler object or have the angle/degree displayed for lines in a different way to our Development team and ask them if they can add this to the list of future considerations of the software.

Thank you for your feedback.

Measuring an angle on NT charts

I come with a cheaper option http://www.picpick.org/, because I found it, it's FREE!!!
Install it and a small icon on the right side of the bottom panel next to clocks is showed, then right-click on it and choose either protractor or any other option like pixel ruler or others.

What an effort You have to do all these manual steps to measure a trendline.

I have a FREE tool for this purpose. It automatically shows slope measures of trendlines in 3 units: degrees (your request), ticks per hour, ticks per bar. Please learn more about it here: http://ninza.co/product/trendline-slope
