Linear Regression Channel Indicator Download for Meta Trader 4 - Free - [Trading Finder]

The Linear Regression Channel Indicator is one of the Meta Trader 4 series indicators that automatically draws regression channels on the price chart, allowing for the identification of Bullish-Bearish Trends based on the channel's slope. In bullish trends, the channel slope is upward (positive), and in bearish trends, it is downward (negative). The level 2 lines of the channel (upper and lower lines) provide buy and sell signals to traders. Additionally, channel lines can serve as areas of Oversold, Overbought, Support-Resistance, and potential Reversal Points.
