Re: hello from a newbie - Now Lin Reg

["David Jennings" <davidjennings@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm intrigued by the LinearReg function. I've read the manual, and 'am no
further forward. I would have expected 3 inputs. viz price, calculation
length i.e. number of bars to consider, and projection length i.e. how many
bars does one wish to look into the future. Could  someone please explain
what value LinearReg returns.

Many thanks
