Key takeaways Marker Slope measures the slope of any line: a moving average, a channel, or an indicator in another panel. The slope is stored in a variable, MySlope by default, that you can use as a filter: longs above zero, shorts below. The same tool creates signals every time the slope changes direction.

Step 1: add Marker Slope to a line In the video we start with an HMA with a period of 180, but it can be any line...
