Depends on how you use them. Scaled charts, relative angles, etc.

Seeems you are a negative guy.

Look how you can benefit for analysis and trading of the concept of angle

Angles show you Speed and Acceleration of Price Action

If you use Gann Concepts - Time and price related -Angles can be used in different ways

- as Support and Resistance
- showing Strength when Price Action is above the (1 x 1) Angle - 1 Price Unit x 1 Time Unit
- showing Weakness when Price Action is under the (1 x 1) Angle - 1 Price Unit x 1 Time Unit

hello Nicholishen,
i dont clearly understand how you distinguish slope and angle
---------------------------------------------------------------
As the ratio price /time never gives the tangent
Changing (time,price) to pixel (x,y) allows this
Inserted Code
 ChartTimePriceToXY(...

this way we are getting any object angle (same as one given by trendByAngle)... even when chart is resized

There's not a single objective way to use angles in trading because it's entirely dependant on subjective visual chart analysis, meaning, it's based on the zoom and scale of a visual-chart only. Since the zoom and scale are completely unique from trader to trader then no two trend-lines will have the same angle, thus, there is no advantage to knowing the subjective fluid-angle of trend-line. If that still doesn't make sense consider the following:

This is a trend-line I drew on my landscape monitor.

And then without even touching the chart, I dragged the window over to my portrait monitor.

So if angles don't make sense in manual trading then I would assert that they especially don't make sense in algorithmic trading.

Slope is what you really need. Slope doesn't change from chart to chart.

I'm not coming from a place of negativity, I'm trying to help you not waste your time. Quantitative analysis isn't rooted in feelings, but angles are based on feelings since it solely depends on how you (and only you) feel comfortable looking at a chart. Angles do not show you speed or acceleration and gann angles are about as useful as those visual-guide-grid-lines in the background of all standard charts.

If you need to quantitatively analyze the slope of a line then you need to obviously use the simple math for computing slope.

That's only 1 angle of the story. Get it? *sigh*. Again, scaled charts, relative angles, and if you really want to get deep, price-time equivalence via basic jr. high math... ie the pythagorean theorem. I'm not going to give a Gann seminar to illustrate the usages. You can google on your own. Moreover, it's not useful to the original topic which was asking HOW and not necessarily WHY.

That's what I'm trying to get at... the effort to code a way to programmatically compute the angle of a visual object doesn't make sense because there is no way to use that data quantitatively. It would be a practice of the pointless.

I do not think that I waste my time since 20 years.

Hey guys I'm trying to wrap my head around this whole "angle" theory. I'm looking at the latest UJ up-swing on the Daily and I'm coming up with 4 to 85 degree angle... What are y'all getting?

OR you could intelligently lock the chart and when you zoom in you won't get to watch it epically fail :whistle:
There is nothing in the Universe but mathematical points of force.
