About Linear Regression Acceleration Technical Indicator Described

Linear Regression Acceleration Technical Analysis & Signals

Linear Regression Acceleration calculates the change in the regression line's gradient on the current price bar from its gradient from the previous price bar. The value used to calculate the linear regression is referred to as the normalized acceleration value which is plotted for each price bar formed on the price chart.

Linear Regression Acceleration

If normalized acceleration is 0.30, then regression line normalized slanting slope will be rising at a rate of 0.30 per each price bar.

Similarly, a normalized slope of -0.40 would signal that the regression line normalized slope is declining at rate of -0.40 per each price bar.

For example, if the current price bar normalized slope value is 0.40 & the previous price bar normalized slanting slope reading is 0.20, then the normalized acceleration of the current price bar would be calculated as 0.40 - 0.20 = 0.20.

Note: It is crucial to realize that a positive acceleration value doesn't equate to a positive slope value, it simply means the gradient of slope is increasing. A negative acceleration reading does not equate to a negative slope value, it simply means the gradient of slope is decreasing.

Implementation of Linear Acceleration Regression Trading Indicator

The Linear Regression Acceleration indicator allows for the following; price choice, regression periods, smoothing of raw price before applying the regression & choice of the smoothing type.

Resulting regression slope is displayed as a bi-colored histogram that oscillates above and below 0.

reference line is set at 0 level mark.

A rising slope: (greater than its previous value of 1 bar before) is displayed in up slope colour.
A declining slope: (lower than its previous value of 1 bar before) is shown using the down slope color.
