Happy Jackson Hole Day to everybody, lol

I need some help to write a Strategy that plots vertical lines into a chart. I wrote everything with the Strategy Wizard and it is working, surprise! Now I would like to add a condition and with that one I have a problem. I would like an EMA with slope, for example 20 degree = flat. Flat = no plot.

What is the parameter to write that?

Thanks a lot

You couldn't really look at degrees for slope, because this would change based how zoomed in you were on the chart. You could add a plot, say myEMA was Plot[0].
Then add a variable for slope, say mySlope. mySlope would be ema value change over one bar.
Then
if(myEMA[0] - myEMA[1] <= mySlope && myEMA[0] - myEMA[1] >= -mySlope) PlotColors[0][0] = Color.Transparent;
else if(myEMA[0] - myEMA[1] > mySlope)PlotColors[0][0] = Color.Green;
else PlotColors[0][0] = Color.Red;

You can use the normalized slope. This is how I calculated the slope for ES on hourly chart.

 

Code

double _slope = Slope(_ema, 5); // this is slope per candle double _slopeN = 24 * 100 * _slope / Close[0]; // slope in percent per day // this assumes that 45 degree is 2% change in 4 days. // change the multiplier as per your assumption double _angle = 180 * Math.Atan(2 * _slopeN) / Math.PI;

Hope this helps.

Thank you, but I need do to it with the Strategy Wizard, I still don't understand how do write codes directely in the startegy.

Search NT support forum for slope simple. Its a slope indicator, but I don't have the original anymore.
