Could we please get the “trend filter” feature that we currently have on the “Moving Average Ratio” indicator (MAR) also on the generic Moving Average indicator. It is very common to use the slope of a moving average to determine if the trend is up or down, i.e. if the slope of the 20EMA is up then the intermediate trend is deemed to be up.
Alternatively if this technique is already possible through some other array of Gainium indicators, could you please let me know how.
hi! I think you can do that already with MAR, “greater than” 1 then its above EMA, if less than 1, then its below.
Just from backend side, MAR might need more compute than just EMA above or below. So making trend filter for MAs might make sense, and more user friendly too.
Hi @test thank you for the reply. Just to be clear, we are talking about the angle of the moving average (i.e. the MA is pointing up or down) - not the position of the price relative to the MA.
I think you can define slope with MAR and MAs
if you reference slower MA to faster MA, then one being above another - is your “your slope”
combination of right lenght MAs and “ratio” between them will yeald you required sensitivity of detecting the slope.
(have not tried that myself, but somehow feel its possible)
