tan,

Let me post this for Jose. Maybe it will help with the slope idea. 
Again, remember to adjust the periods to your liking.

pdsRoc:=Input("ROC periods",1,252,3); 
pdsEma:=Input("EMA periods",1,252,5); 
smooth:=Input("smoothing EMA periods",1,252,8); 
display:=Input("plot  TSI=1,  +/- slope signals=2",1,2,1); 

TSI:=100* 
Mov(Mov(ROC(C,pdsRoc,%),pdsEma,E),smooth,E)/ 
Mov(Mov(Abs(ROC(C,pdsRoc,%)),pdsEma,E),smooth,E); 
SlopeSig:= 
 If(TSI>Ref(TSI,-1),1,If(TSI<Ref(TSI,-1),-1,0)); 

0;If(display=2,SlopeSig,TSI)
