Linear Regression Analysis & Linear Regression Signals
Another name for a regression line is a line of the best fit/best fit line. This indicator plots the market trend of the currency price over a specified duration of time. The market trend is determined by calculating a Linear Regression Trend-Line using "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 technical indicator draws the end values of multiple Linear Regression trend lines. Any single point along the Linear Regression will be equivalent to the end value of a Regression Trendline, but the resulting trend line looks like the MA.
But unlike the Moving Average, this trading indicator does not show as much delay since it's fitting a line on to information points rather than averaging them.
The Linear Regression is a prediction of the tomorrow's price drawn today, one day before. When the market prices are steadily higher or lower than the +forecastforecasted price, then a fx trader can expect them to quickly return to more realistic fore-casted levels.
In other terms, this technical indicator shows where the chart prices "should" be trading based on a statistical basis & any disproportionate deviation from the regression line is likely to be short-lived.
