Need help with a condition to check the angle of an MA

[NinjaTrader_Ray]

Question:


Can someone please help me, in strategy:

How I can write if I want a certain MA to cross at a Certain "ANGLE"

say 30 degrees, not less

Thanks
Zee


Answer:

You have to use the Slope() method in addition checking for the cross.

Something like:

if (CrossAbove(SMA(10), SMA(20), 1) && Slope(SMA(10), CurrentBar - 1, CurrentBar) > angleValue)
// Do something

PS - There is a bug in the current Slope() method calculation, will be resolved for the next update.

Hi Ray:

Thanks for help, this could be a good thread.

I am using the strategy wizard, so where and how do I perform the task, you wrote, I am not a programer.

Please help

Thanks

Unfortunately accessing the Slope() method is not available in the Wizard at this time. It will be later in the fall.
