How to define degree of sloping?

[Deleted]  

Hi every body,

Can anyone please advise me what indicator(s) to use to spot a series of bars that are trending with very good slope, for example visually it displays a slope of over 45 degree in uptrend?

I have come up with the idea of using ema(3) + osma(12,26,9) + stoch(8). This identifies trending bars but fails to deal with degree of sloping. I have also tested other things like ADX or ATR, but it is either too complicated to be helpful or not helpful at all.

Thank you very much for your help.

This slope thing keeps coming up - see this 'How to get the angle of a moving average?'

But really, we dont need to worry about it as we always know the (equivalent of the) tangent of that angle...

because we know the price change over n bars as a ratio

We can deduce a change in ratio or project a target price to be hit/broken on the same ratio...

Good Luck
