 Graham, RG:  
I agree if you draw a trendline it will change 
dramatically when you change the scale 
on the chart.  The following routine from 
DT however provides the angle in radians and degrees 
based the in this case the closing price, and does not 
change no matter whether you 
zoom or not to change the scale of the chart.  Note 
it has parameters so you 
can move it around the chart to span the area you're 
interested in.  
  
What value?  It could be used in scoring but 
as Graham pointed out you could do the  
same by using the price bars and the bar axis to calculate 
the rate of change, 
 ROC(array,bars)  
  
Best regards 
JOE  
======== Dimitris' code with a couple of additions 
END= Param("End",1,1,250.1);
START= Param("start",50,10,250,1);
  
ARRAY=Close; 
L1= LastValue(Cum(1));
X0=L1-START;X1=L1-END; 
Y0=ARRAY[X0];Y1=ARRAY[X1]; 
Plot (ARRAY,"",1,1);
Plot (LineArray(X0,Y0,X1,Y1),"",4,1);
Plot (LineArray(X0,Y0,X1,Y0),"",4,1);
Plot (Close,"Close",colorBlue,styleThick); 
ANGLE= atan(22.36/49); // atan((Y1-Y0)/(X1-X0));
Title = "ANGLE="+WriteVal(ANGLE)+" RADS"+", ["+WriteVal(45*Angle/atan(1),2.4)+" DEGS]"+ ", ["+ WriteVal(ROC(Close,49),2.2)+ "%] ROC";

  draw a line 
  on the chart and thenzoom in and out and see what happens to the slope of 
  the line
