Technical analysis by Xuantify about Symbol ETH on 5/25/2025

Not 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 averageHighlights ranging zones with a gray colorHelps filter out low-momentum conditionsCustomizable MA type and length🧠 How We Use It at XuantifyWe use the Angle of Moving Average as a trend filter—not a signal generator.1. Trend ConfirmationWe 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 TimingWe combine this with structure tools (like BOS/CHOCH) to time entries after the angle confirms a trend is underway.🎨 Visual Cues That MatterThe script uses color to show when the market is:Trending: Clear slope, colored lineRanging: Flat slope, gray line (No Trade Zone)This makes it easy to:Avoid choppy marketsFocus on momentum-driven setupsStay aligned with the dominant trend⚙️ Settings That MatterYou can customize:MA Type: EMA, SMA, etc.MA Length: Default is 20Angle Sensitivity: Adjust to define what counts as “flat”⚙️ Higher timeframe alignmentYou 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 IndicatorWe pair the Angle of MA with:Structure Tools – BOS/CHOCH for trend contextMACD 4C – For momentum confirmationVolume Profile – To validate breakout strengthFair Value Gaps (FVGs) – For sniper entries⚠️ What to Watch Out ForThis 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 ThoughtsIf 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.
