Another name for a regression line is a line of the best fit/best fit line. This indicator plots the trend of the currency price over a specified duration of time. The market trend is determined by calculating a Linear Regression Trend-Line using the "least squares fit" method. This method helps to minimize the distance between the forex price data points and the line of best fit.

Unlike the straight Regression Trend Line forex indicator, the Linear Regression indicator draws the end values of multiple Linear Regression trend lines. Any one single point along the Linear Regression indicator will be equal to the end value of a Regression Trendline, but the resulting Linear Regression indicator trend-line looks like the Moving Average.
But unlike the Moving Average indicator, this Linear Regression indicator does not show as much delay in its calculation because it is fitting a regression line onto price data points rather than averaging the forex price data points.
The Linear Regression indicator is a prediction of the tomorrow's forex price drawn today - that is one day before. When the forex prices are steadily higher or steadily lower than the forecast forex price - then a trader can expect the forex prices to quickly return to more realistic forecasted levels that are forecasted by the Linear Regression indicator.
In other terms, this Linear Regression indicator shows where the forex chart prices "should" be trading at based on a statistical basis and any disproportionate forex price deviation from the regression line is likely to be short lived.
