Ocean theory – natural market slope – indicator MetaTrader 5

Theory :

  • Ocean series of indicators were originally created by Jim Sloman (the theory) and Pat Raffalovich (the coder) – additional information can be obtained in Jim Sloman’s bookΒ 
  • Natural market slope is an indicator that combines :
    • Natural market slope period linear regression slopes (weighted by appropriate coefficients) into a single “market slope”
    • Prices can be additionally pre-smoothed vi TEMA (triple ema)
      • Even though usually adding pre-smoothing adds lag, using TEMA in this case works very well (default values are using almost insignificant lag)
Usage :
  • As any usual slope / momentum indicator
    • You can use the color change of the indicator as an indication of momentum change
    • You can use the zero crossΒ  of the indicator as an indication of “trend” change
