How can I measure the slope of a line?

Hello ELDAVIDOLOCO,
Thank you for your post.
Unfortunately, there is not a drawing tool to measure the slope. You can use Slope() in NinjaScript to measure the slope of a Plot/DataSeries: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h.../nt7/slope.htm

Thanks for the help.
Let's say the start of the line is at Close[n] and the end at Close[0]. From geometry, we would say that X1 = n, Y1 = Close[n], X2 = 0 and Y2= Close[0].
The formula for the slope of such a a line is:
(X2 - X1)
-------------
(Y2 - Y1)
so in NinjaScript terms this comes out as:
Code:double m = - n / (Close[0] - Close[n]);
Hope this helps.

Thanks, Koganam!
You are right - I am wrong!
My math degree has been rescinded and I'm sliding down the slippery - er - slope?
At my third attempt, this is the equation:
Code:double m = (Close[n] - Close[0]) / n;
It's important to quibble otherwise wrong information can be left in the Forum, which helps no one.
Much obliged to you for pointing this out.
Cheers!
Ed
