Linear Regression Commodities Technical Analysis and Linear Regression Trading Signals

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

Unlike the straight Regression Trendline indicator, the technical indicator draws the end values of multiple Linear Regression trend lines. Any single point along the Linear Regression will be equal to the end value of a Regression Trendline, but resulting trendline looks like the Moving Average.

But unlike the Moving Average, this indicator doesn't show as much delay since it is fitting a line onto data points rather than averaging them.

The Linear Regression is a prediction of the tomorrow's commodities trading price drawn today, one day before. When the commodities trading prices are steadily higher or lower than the forecast commodities trading price, then a trader can expect them to quickly return to more realistic fore-casted levels.

In other terms, this indicator shows where the chart commodities trading prices "should" be trading based on a statistical basis & any disproportionate deviation from the regression line is likely to be short-lived.
