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 trend of the 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 plots the end values of multiple Linear Regression trendlines. Any single point along the Linear Regression will be equal to the end value of a Regression Trendline, but resulting trend-line resembles the MA Moving Average.

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

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

In other words, this indicator shows where the chart prices "should" be based on a statistical basis and any dis-proportionate deviation from the regression line is likely to be short lived.
