Trend-following Slope Direction Line / Moving Average confirmation bars signal indicator is an equivalent of Slope Direction Line / Moving Average confirmation candles indicator. It compares direction of two moving averages:
It has six input parameters:
- MA period – Moving Average calculation period
- MA method – Moving Average calculation method
- MA applied price – Moving Average calculation price
- SDL period – Slope Direction Line calculation period
- SDL method – Slope Direction Line calculation method
- SDL applied price – Slope Direction Line calculation price
- If Moving Average and Slope Direction Line are directed upwards:
- the green signal pointer is set
- If Moving Average and Slope Direction Line are directed downwards:
- the red signal pointer is set
- In any other case, the gray signal pointer is placed.
Slope Direction Line indicator is not required – it is calculated by the indicator independently.
