Anyone know of an indicator that can be used to print the slope (in degrees) of a drawn line in NT? Use case is I select any of the lines or rays from the drawing tools section, draw one on the chart, and the slope is printed either on the line, parallel to the line, wherever. And of course the label should be dynamic, changing value as I adjust the line.

Thanks.

Please read this thread first:




The concept of angles & slope cannot be safely applied to charting programs with a scalable x-axis and a scalable y-axis.

The guy at this web site has created what he calls the ultimate draw bar. It offers the possibility to plot the degree angle of a trend line.

Thanks everyone. For whatever reason I was getting nothing when entering slope keywords in the search bar.
