200 DMA Slope %

The 200 DMA Slope % indicator measures the rate of change of the 200-day moving average, helping traders identify whether long-term trend strength is accelerating, flattening, or deteriorating.

Instead of simply asking:

“Is price above or below the 200 DMA?”

This indicator answers the equally important question:

“Is the 200 DMA itself rising or falling?”

How It Works

The indicator calculates the percentage change in the 200-day moving average over a user-defined lookback period.

Formula:

Slope % =
((200 DMA Today − 200 DMA X Bars Ago) ÷ 200 DMA X Bars Ago) × 100

A positive reading indicates a rising long-term trend, while a negative reading signals a declining trend.

Default Settings
Moving Average Length: 200
Slope Lookback: 20 bars
Smoothing Length: 5

Interpretation

Above 0

The 200 DMA is rising
Long-term trend is strengthening

Near 0

Trend is flattening
Potential transition or consolidation phase

Below 0


The 200 DMA is declining
Long-term trend may be weakening

Suggested Use

This indicator pairs especially well with a Distance From 200 DMA indicator.

Together they can help answer two critical questions:

How extended is price from the long-term trend?
Is the long-term trend strengthening or rolling over?

Examples:

Price far above 200 DMA + slope accelerating → strong momentum regime
Price extended but slope flattening → caution / possible exhaustion
Price below 200 DMA + negative slope → weaker long-term trend

This tool is designed to help traders better visualize trend quality, not just trend direction.
