[amibroker] Re: How to measure slope of MA

["Ron Rowland" <rowland@xxxxxxxx>]

Measuring the slope of an MA provides you with a way of determining 
which way the MA is headed and the strength of the trend.

The slope is essentially the one-day change in the MA.  When the 
slope approaches zero the MA is flattening out and could be about to 
reverse direction.

Also, multiple crossings of a security through a MA that has little 
or no slope indicates a trading range.

S50 = ROC(MA(C,50),1); // The 1-day slope of the 50-day MA
