Linear Regression Indicator Analysis Buy and Sell Signals
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 price data points and the line of best fit.

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