Trade the Angle, Not the Chop: Angle of MA ExplainedNot all moving averages are created equal. While most traders rely on the slope of a moving average to gauge trend direction, the Angle of Moving Average script by Mango2Juice takes it a step further—literally measuring the angle of the MA to help filter out sideways markets and highlight trending conditions.
Let’s explore how this tool works, how we use it at Xuantify, and how it can sharpen your trend-following strategy.
🔍 What Is the Angle of Moving Average?
This indicator calculates the angle of a moving average (default: EMA 20) to determine whether the market is trending or ranging. It introduces a No Trade Zone , visually marked in gray, to signal when the angle is too flat—suggesting the market is consolidating.
Key Features:
Measures the slope of the moving average
Highlights ranging zones with a gray color
Helps filter out low-momentum conditions
Customizable MA type and length
🧠 How We Use It at Xuantify
We use the Angle of Moving Average as a trend filter —not a signal generator.
1. Trend Confirmation
We only take trades in the direction of a steep enough angle. If the MA is flat or in the gray zone, we stay out.
2. Entry Timing
We combine this with structure tools (like BOS/CHOCH) to time entries after the angle confirms a trend is underway.
🎨 Visual Cues That Matter
The script uses color to show when the market is:
Trending : Clear slope, colored line
Ranging : Flat slope, gray line (No Trade Zone)
This makes it easy to:
Avoid choppy markets
Focus on momentum-driven setups
Stay aligned with the dominant trend
⚙️ Settings That Matter
You can customize:
MA Type : EMA, SMA, etc.
MA Length : Default is 20
Angle Sensitivity : Adjust to define what counts as “flat”
⚙️ Higher timeframe alignment
You can look at HTFs for better and stronger entry and exit points.
Below a 1H and 4H chart where the 4H clearly adds strong buying power for a good long entry point.
🔗 Best Combinations with This Indicator
We pair the Angle of MA with:
Structure Tools – BOS/CHOCH for trend context
MACD 4C – For momentum confirmation
Volume Profile – To validate breakout strength
Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) – For sniper entries
⚠️ What to Watch Out For
This is a filter , not a signal. It won’t tell you when to enter or exit—it tells you when not to trade . Use it with price action and structure for best results.
🚀 Final Thoughts
If you’re tired of getting chopped up in sideways markets, the Angle of Moving Average is a simple but powerful filter. It helps you stay out of low-probability trades and focus on trending opportunities.
Try it, tweak it, and see how it fits into your system.

I am Amazed how XAU/USD Gold moving in a channel of 18 degrees. FX:XAUUSD COMEX:GC1! I am amazed by how XAU/USD Gold is moving in a channel of 18 degrees on hourly chart. I am a student of market geometry and how often we see such a clear trend, really fascinating! The scenario here is clear just trade the bounce off of the lower channels and we will only be short if market breaks below lowest band on this chart until then we are bullish. Keep your first targets @ upper band. Keep following for more ideas.
EURUSD 4H ~ Based on Elliot WaveElliot Wave to predict waves with the help of angles
Present forming structure is similar to the first E.W./ A to B trend of triangle pattern. If so, then, the fibonacci can be from 0 to number 2 peak of E.W., and can be used same way to present forming structure. It can reach higher then 300% but not smaller, so tp is secured on 300.
Notice how on each wave number 1 and 4 peak of E.W. doesn't touch each other. I jumped the wave that touches number 1 peak, taking it as phantom wave, selecting the next one for better structure.
Angles are not used to much but I found out they are good to predict time and price limit range. They have this pattern that leads to a simple reverse prediction. Example: start point should be in a LL or HH. 89°> is the first peak. 87°> is the second, and 86°> is the third. Degrees can be repeated but can't be greater then previus peak. After three important peaks, it will start the reversal getting lower and lower. It can be aplied in reversal too, but instead of degree getting smaller, it gets higher and in three peaks should reverse; example: 55° first peak, 66° second peak, then third peak would be 77°>. All with the same arrow. Even so, it can't predict how high or low chart will get once reversal is done, that's why I use it with Elliot Wave and fibonacci.
Other tools that I use is volume balance (or volume correction) but, this is an unofficial strategy, from what I know. Which is the way chart do the same amount of volume from a high volume candlestick, , and the candlestick that reaches it. By applying it again, the candlestick that completes the end of total volume use it to apply an extremely repulsive and atraction zone by adding lines on the HH and LL of the candlestick. Chart reaches around 300%~423% usually, but can get higher. It weakens when zone is already used at least two times.
Additionally, it can lead powerful trends to the 300% of the HH and LL of the volume correction.
The other path arrows you can ignore them, they are more for personal use.
Bye.
Utilizing Angles W/ GeometryNote:
The angle spanning from .7242 Mon 06 Marc '23 21:30 and .7547 Tue 07 Mar '23 3:00
- It is about 19 on this scaling
The next angle below it is 1/2 of that; 19/2 = 9.5
These intersect the price at .7547 and create time objectives; these time objectives were used concurrently with price to note times of major change.
sine spiralsjust something i was playing with, salt as usual, idk if it means anything
also dunno if these can be officially considered sine bc not a circle but same principle?
started with several angles to see how it would play out...when it bounced off the 60º (after wicking to 50 and using 45 as support) i got excited
no idea as to magnitude of bounce...and it could break of course. not financial advice. bearflag/lower high/wick slightly above 25.2 would be max pain probably, rek overconfident beras and re-rek overconfident bulls (is there anything worse than the feeling of being re-rekt by false relief after false confidence?)
but a lot of bull confluence here. 90 degree trendline, 2.236 gartley tp completion, pricetime fibs...too many to list. so at least a good place for beras to tp
BTC Retrace to 21800 for Bear Market RallyI'm sharing this primarily to save this particular chart and see how well this chart will react with price. At the same time, a great potential short opportunity is on the way.
With the recent move up in January and the latest FOMC pump now exhausting our upward momentum for a bear market rally, we should see a retracement or return to 21800, or even 20k.
And yes, I said bear market rally. I am not convinced BTC is ready for a new bull run just yet.
I am using 1/2 and 1/3 angles based on the initial price impulse (blue line) and converting price retracements to TIME retracements (vertical lines) in order not only determine WHERE trade opportunities may lie, but also WHEN.
Remember, the best entries are not only when price is at a support or resistance level, but when price is ALSO squared with time.
Angles That Traders Overlook During AnalysisThe angles or degree of previous price action can be very informative, and it is something I rarely if ever see traders noticing. Just because something happened every single time in the past does not necessarily mean it will continue to happen in the future.
However trading is all about odds, confluences and having the best possible advantage - not about reaching perfection.
Geometry: 90 Degree AnglesHey! Good day to you!
In this chart, the resolution is not matched; the native is this chart.
There is a 90 degree angle going down from the first impulse, and the intersection of the angle and the zero angle time the top.
There is a 90 degree angle going down from the next impulse, and the intersection of the angle and zero time the next bottom.
Enjoy!

SKL confirmed weekly resistance as support#SKLUSDT
$SKL broke out weekly descending resistance and confirmed it as support. also price stayed above ascending support.
there is a resistance around $0.42, that is near the descending resistance with angle of ascending support line. a break above this descending resistance line can lead price to touch $0.7 and more.
RLC ab=cd pattern#RLCUSDT
$RLC broke out long term descending resistance lines. there is one more descending resistance that its angle can be the same as ascending support line, that can reject #RLC price to the support line again.
a break above that resistance can complete AB=CD pattern around $6.5.
Phala is set for unknown highs ! Hey fellow traders it's been a while since I posted here, needed a break from the charts. But here I am back to share my alphas with everyone ! Never forget to DYOR though.
So today I'm sharing a Phala chart on 1D since there's quite a bit of my indicators flashing and a quite important bullish divergence on RSI 14. Also as you can see I've made us a couple trend lines to keep track on a long period of time because " Money goes from the impatient, to those whose virtue is patience. " -Forgotten the name...
On top of that, the actual trend angles are more than pretty signaling an almost imminent "scam wick" upside move add to that the insane money flow that just happened past sunday. I'm expecting it in 1-3 days but as always maybe I'm wrong so DYOR do not base your investment just with my insights these are ideas.
That said I wish everyone an awesome summer and don't forget to enjoy life and stop looking at your binance mobile app every two minutes. I'm saying this 'cuz it was my case before taking time for myself. ' ^_^
