Slope of the EMA?

[timmbbo]

Hi there, how can I calculate the slope, or angle, of the EMA? Thanks

Hello Timmbbo,
Thanks for your post.

To calculate the slope of an EMA you would use the Slope() method. Doing something similar to the following snippet will calculate the slope of a 20 period EMA over the last 10 bars.

Slope(EMA(20), 10, 0)

I am including a link to our help guide documentation on the Slope() method.
