Linear Regression Indicator Technical Analysis Buy & 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 forex price over a specified duration of time.

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 Trend line, but the resulting Linear Regression indicator trend line looks like the Moving Average indicator.
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 forex 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.
