I will be starting a new thread for LSMA EA shortly and will be posting lsma, lsma angle, ema angle and other lsma related indicators as well as an EA based on LSMA.
Fran, just like you, I'd love to get a reading on the angle of my LSMA in degrees. Unfortunately it appears that coding is somewhat challenging. If you find the indic that shows the LSMA and EMA angles in the pic you posted, please share it.
And Mr. Pip, maybe you'd be "pulled" in by the angle-coding challenge. Also I like your LSMA thread; keep it going.

I have alreaqdy been working on the MA Angle code. The problem is similar to the old days of aspect ratio for different screen resolutions. The biggest issue is that the x axis is constant whille the Y axis has different movements based on timeframe. What might be needed is to use minutes as a base for X and pips for the Y axis and calculate everything based on that. I have been very busy with writing EAs and will get back to this problem when time allows.

Don't use angles, use slopes instead (pips per minutes), it's far easier as you do not have to fight against the zoom, timeframe change, axe's scales etc of the chart representation. Angles are not at all an absolut concept as slopes are.
Your charts on the first post are by far the neareast I have seen to trading woodie's CCI system nice job.
Would you share your template and indicators with me/us ?
I'm running woodie's version on Esignal and the code is password protected but the angles of the MA averages you are looking for are actually just used to state if the market is flat, trending up or trending down have a look at the upper left of the charts posted

Reason: Charts too small
Robert, I got you man, I see where you coming from (I´ve seen numerous discussions about Angle indics, and I understand its challenges). Thx for the prompt reply and efforts.
And here a very nice Woodies panel for Metatrader Woodiepedia CCI Trading University :: View topic - Woodies CCI for MT4
created by Heart1010. This is as good as it gets and approaches eSignal's and other fine platforms using Woodies. You might also want to visit his/her site at market-talk.de for more insight (some Dutch might help).
I could be wrong but I believe I saw a MA indicator with the angle in degrees made by Fx_Sniper. You could try and PM him and ask him. I did a quick search but couldnt find it.

Angles are basically using a trig function (MathArcTan) to convert slope(DeltaY / DeltaX) to angle in radians or degrees. The problem still remains. I modified using pips per minute and still find the same problem as before. When moving out to higher timeframes the range of values decreases at each step.
On GBPUSD the ranges are
1 minute 1.4 to -1.5
5 minute 0.47 to -0.61
15 minute 0.20 to -0.21
30 minute 0.13 to -0.10
60 minute 0.12 to -0.15
240 minute 0.05 to -0.07
1440 minute 0.03 to -0.03

I think you did a mistake : changing TF, you change the time unit, so what you obtain is DeltaY/(DeltaX*Period()).
You should just have to compute DeltaY/DeltaX where DeltaX is in minutes, not in period; then TF doesn't matter.
