Is there a way to add a condition to a filter whereby trades are only taken if the slope of a given stock/ETF is greater than 0?
For example I would like to only take trades when the slope of a moving average of SPY for the past 30 days is greater than 0
Or is there a better way to filter by general market direction?
My apologies if this has been answered already.

Easy to do - just add the following lines to your filter of choice:
set{spy, ind(spy, close)}
set{SPYMA30, cma(spy, 30)}
set{golong, 5 day slope of SPYMA30}
golong above 0
Now the filter will only return stocks if the above condition (that the slope of the MA(30) for the SPY is above 0) is met. Using a 5 day slope measure for the MA(30) is an arbitrary choice on my part - you can set it faster or slower as you see fit.

Can an index appear in filter results?
No. Because StockFetcher does not carry volume details for indices they will not appear in filter results. Additionally, due to the the lack of volume information, charts for an index will not include details beyond basic pricing information.
