Chap: 23.1.5 Angle - Angle of a line p.138
Usage: ANGLE( a )
Returns: Number
Description :
returns the angle in degrees of the line described by the array
'a'. This function is only usable on an array that has been
created by either linreg or linreg2.
Do not confuse the angle returned by this function with the angle
as viewed on a chart of a security. When you view a chart, your
charting program most likely has scaled your view so that the
zero y-axis is not visible. In addition, the angle on a screen
monitor is distorted by the aspect ratio of your monitor
(typically 4 wide by 3 high). The angle returned by this function
is a true mathematical angle which is calculated using the (0,0)
origin.
Example:
X = ANGLE(LINREG(C,-20,0));
WriteLn(`Angle over last 20 close bars is `,X,' degrees');
This computes the angle in degrees of the simple linear
regression line of the closing price over the last 20 days.
Thought the above could be of any help, haven't used it myself though,
