Graham and Robert:
Graham, irrespective of your methodology, what you are
doing is looking at momentum via ROC rather than a slope. Apples
and oranges. At times, slope and momentum are in synch (i.e., both + or
both -) and not at other times (think of velocity and acceleration). There
is a time for each.
Robert, if you want slope rather than momentum, just
get the value for two bars separated by a specified number of bars and divide by
the number of bars. Here is a shot at the conditions that I think you
specified with arbitrary parameters:
x1 = MA(C,
13);
x2 = MA(C,
34);
slope1 = (x1 - Ref(x1,
-5) ) / 5;
slope2 = (x2 - Ref(x2,
-8) ) / 8;
Buy = Cross(x1, x2)
AND slope1 > .5;
Sell = Cross(x2,
x1) AND slope2 < -.5;

the slope at any specific point on a curve by AFL.
In order to compare various stocks I find it better to use
relative
values. The slope of $101 and $51 price strocks that both
have change
of $1 over the previous bar. If you consider normal
slope
(y1-y2)(x1-x2) for 1 bar you get 1 for both stocks,
This tells me
they are moving the same.
With relative slope 1/100 and 1/50 provide 0.01
and 0.02 showing the
rate faster for the $50 price stock.
This now tells
me that the $50 is moving faster. This makes more sense to me
