After Angle Formula - page 4

[Ian Venner]

RaptorUK:
You don't agree that an assumption must be made ? yet you made the assumption that the units I was talking about for the Opposite and Adjacent were the same . . . hence your answer of 45 deg. An angle of 45 deg has an absolute meaning, it is 1/8th of a full circle . . . no more information is needed to define it . . . this does not hold true for an "angle" on a chart, other information is needed to define the "angle" this makes it no longer what it was meant to be.

So you have to say, "45 deg - where the scale is fixed to 1:1 and x minutes/bars is considered the same as y points" this qualification means you do not have an angle, a true angle needs no such qualification, it is absolute. So why not say what you mean . . . don't twist what is actually a gradient/slope into a false visual representation of an angle . . .

I did say what I mean. My first reply on this thread was:

First you have to decide what scale you are using to consider the trend is 45 degrees.
