Linear Regression Slope Gold Trading Analysis and Linear Regression Slope Gold Trading Signals
Linear Regression Slope trading indicator calculates the slope/gradient value of regression lines which involves the current xauusd price bar & the previous n-1 xauusd price bar (where n = regression periods)
This Indicator calculates this value and updates it for each xauusd price candlestick loaded in the xauusd price chart.
The Indicator is calculated from the Linear Regression Gold Technical Indicator. The linear regression plots the gold trend of the price chart over a specified duration of time and this market gold trend is determined by plotting a Linear Regression Gold Trend Line using the "least squares fit" method. The slope of this gold trend line is then calculated and this forms the linear regression.
Linear Regression Slope
The slope values are then smoothed by multiplying the raw slope indicator values by 100 and then dividing this value by the xauusd price
Linear Slope Regression = (raw value of slope * 100 / xauusd price).
The smoothing of the slope values is essential when comparing markets that are volatile & trade within wide xauusd price ranges for each xauusd price candle. Smoothed slope value will show the percent change in the xauusd price per every candle used to calculate the regression (best fit) line.
Gold Analysis and Generating XAUUSD Trading Signals
- If the smoothing of the slope is 0.30, then the regression line is rising and adjusting at a rate of 0.30% for every candle.
- If the smoothing of the slope of -0.30, then the regression line is going down & adjusting at a rate of -0.30% for every candle.
The regression slope is displayed as a bi-color histogram that oscillates above and below zero center line. Center-line that's used to generate gold trading signals is set at the 0 level.
- A rising slope (greater than the previous value of 1 candle ago) is displayed in the Blue/Upward Slope color,
- A declining slope (lower than the previous value of 1 candle ago) is displayed in the Red/Downward Slope color.
