By summing these slopes, the indicator provides a comprehensive view of the overall trend.How it Works
The indicator calculates the slope for each of the five LSMA lines. The slope represents the direction and magnitude of the price change over the LSMA's period.
A positive slope indicates an upward trend, while a negative slope indicates a downward trend.
The steeper the slope, the stronger the momentum.
The indicator then aggregates these individual slopes. A higher sum suggests a stronger overall uptrend, while a lower sum indicates a stronger overall downtrend.
This provides a smoothed and robust trend identification tool that is less prone to whipsaws compared to single-indicator approaches.
