ChartTrendLine getting angle
28 Oct 2024, 04:08

Would it be possible for us to get the algo of how the ChartTrendLine calculates the angle it shows. I can set ShowAngle to true and it gives me the exact angle I want, but for the life of me I cant seem to create code that will produce the same results. I would rather not have to draw a trendline and then remove it and even if I could do that, the angle is not a property that is exposed. Any help with this would be wonderful. Thank you!

Hi there,

There is no way get this information via the API. The angle is calculated based on the screen's pixels

Best regards,

Keep in mind that regardless of how Spotware/cTrader calculate the angle, the angle will vary depending on the chart's zoom level horizontally / vertically. 

It will also change as more bars appear to the right or if you scroll the chart back to the left as cTrader automatically scales the chart.
