Indicator to measure EMA 8 uptrend angle

 Several indicators exist to measure the angle or slope of an Exponential Moving Average (EMA), which helps quantify the strength of an uptrend (i.e., acceleration vs. consolidation). Key indicators for this purpose include:

  • EMA Slope Angle (by xvelox_): A specialized TradingView indicator that directly measures the angle of an EMA in degrees, allowing for visualization of trend strength.
  • MA SMART Angle (by Smart-Day-Trader): A sophisticated, non-repainting indicator that calculates the slope/angle of multiple EMAs (including customizable, fast, medium, and slow). It identifies uptrends when the angle exceeds a specific threshold (e.g., > 15° for strong trends).
  • EMA Percent Angle & Slope Visualizer (by Ramesh_G): This indicator uses a percentage-normalized calculation, making it ideal for comparing slope strength across different assets regardless of their price scale.
  • Trend Angle Indicator (by NellyNaneva): Measures the trend angle by calculating the rise-over-run of a moving average, providing visual confirmation of strong momentum (e.g., breaking above +25°), and allowing smoothing via an EMA.
  • EMA Slope (Forex Factory/Custom Scripts): These custom scripts calculate the difference between the current EMA and a previous EMA, often normalizing it against price movement.
Using the 8 EMA Angle
When using the 8-period EMA to measure trend strength, these indicators look for a positive angle (upward trajectory) and high steepness, which often signals a strong, sustainable uptrend.
Recommendation for Setup (TradingView)
To measure the EMA 8 angle specifically:
  1. Add the 8 EMA to your chart.
  2. Add a "Slope" or "MA Angle" indicator (e.g., "EMA Slope" by xvelox_) and set its length to 8.
  3. Confirm the Trend: An upward slope (positive value) with a sharp angle indicates strong momentum.
