Background

The Gann Slope indicator has been welcomed by the community since its release, and many people are trying to integrate it into their trading systems. One of these is the need to integrate Gann Slope into QuantTherapy's B-Xtrender @Puppytherapy.

Function

You can find QuantTherapy's script above , he recreated a trend following indicator published in IFTA Journal by Bharat Jhunjhunwala. It is mainly to be traded on big timeframes.
As requested, i replaced the oscillator part with my Gann slope oscillator. However, I found the setting for input parameters for B-Xtrender is rather complex, you need to take great care to tuning them for specific time frame and trading pairs. Pls don't be lazy to apply this indicator to your chart and expect good results. You have to try and find proper values of them to obtain acceptable results.

Remarks
Feedbacks are appreciated.
