Using a Multi-Timeframe Linear Regression Moving Average and Signal Line

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

The document introduces a multi-timeframe linear regression moving average (LRMA) paired with a signal line. It describes configurable settings for the LRMA period, signal period, source timeframe, and drawing mode. The displayed LRMA can be drawn as stepwise segments or as sloped lines, allowing the same higher-timeframe calculation to be represented in different ways on a chart.

The examples show H4 data displayed on an H1 chart, illustrating how a trader might view a longer-timeframe average within a lower-timeframe chart. The text does not explain the LRMA calculation, define how the signal line is generated, or specify how either line should trigger trades. It also gives no performance tests or evidence that the indicator improves decisions. Treat it as a brief description of charting options for a technical indicator, not as a complete trading system or evaluation of its effectiveness.

Key ideas

  • The indicator combines a linear regression moving average with a signal line.
  • Users can set separate periods for the moving average and its signal line.
  • The source timeframe can differ from the chart timeframe.
  • The LRMA can be drawn in stepwise or sloped-line modes.
  • The description does not specify trading rules or report performance evidence.
