Market Analyzer - MA Slope

[polo0202]

Hello, i searched in the forum and also tutorial but couldnt fin anything.

I would like something very simple: to scan the market with the market analyzer i need an option that can measure the slope of a weighted moving average (also simple).
Could you please help me Ninja?
Thanks a lot

Hello polo0202,

You could make an Indicator for this purpose and then use the Indicator column in the MA.

You would need to create an indicator that has 1 plot, from OnBarUpdate you could then plot the slope of an indicator:

Value[0] = Slope(WMA(20), 10, 0);

I look forward to being of further assistance.

hello Jesse, and thanks for the reply.
Since i have no idea on how to make an indicator i was wondering if in the Market Analyzer there is instead an option that shows the price percentage change over x periods. Would be the same thing as a slope of a moving average, maybe even better. I saw there is the Net Change, but i cant change the period,
thanks again

Hello polo0202,

The slope would not be able to be used by using the analyzer alone. For the slope an indicator would be needed to report that as a plot, that is because the slope is an analytical tool for scripting and not all tools.

You can apply indicators like the SMA and adjust its period using the analyzer however adding other steps like a slope would require making that indicator. If you are interested in learning how to make indicators we could walk through the process of making the above mentioned code.

I look forward to being of further assistance.
