Regression Lines in Real Time - Charting Software

Recommended Posts

Good morning,

 

can somebody help me on this ?

 

I need some software that can show and automatically update regression lines on price charts. I need to see the regression line and the 4 parallel lines that are +/- 1* or 2* standard deviation.

 

Bloomberg has a function like that but subscription is too expensive.

 

In Bloomberg I can:

* click under "annotations" (the grey bar on top of a chart);

* select "regression";

* click on the chart where I want the regression to start;

* move the cursor rightward while keeping pressed the mouse rightbutton to a point on the screen that is past where the last price is;

 

When I release the mouse button the system shows the regression line and other 4 lines that are +/- *1 and *2 times standard deviation.

What's important is that the regression lines keep adjusting to new data as new prices flow in.

 

Do you know other charting software that can do that ? Updates in real time would be ideal but also updating once per minute would do.

 

(Reuters' I checked. You can only draw regression line but: 1) they do not update with new prices; 2) the +/- standard deviation lines do not show up)

 

 

Bloomberg is good to analyse charts, in my view.

Any of you know / can recommend charting software that is comparable to Bloomberg's, in your opinion ?

 

Thanks a milion for your help

all the best

pretty well any charting software can do it.

 

...TradeStation, MultiCharts, Ninja, AmiBroker, NeoTicker, just to name a few.

Hi Tams, thank you for ur reply I will check those names.

 

Ninja does updates regression lines real time but:

 

a) it's a trailing regression period (ie last "x" periods). I need a fixed starting time, instead.

b) it shows 3 lines only (Lower, Middle, Upper). To see 5 lines for example one needs to runs simultaneously two regressions over the same period setting two different width parameter.

 

Multichart's helpline just confirmed they do update automatically and the regressions can either be drawn manually or programmed with PowerLanguage.

 

Thank you again

 

Franco

any programmable charting software can be configured to do the analysis anyway you want, including Ninja.

 

you can see some MultiCharts charting examples here:

thank you Tams, although that looks a bit beyond my capacity for me now it definitely provides good map signs.

 

For now I am looking to find a program that alows me to click on the chart (ie select the start of the regression period), move the mouse rightward and get regression lines that update in real time.

Please note that the start of the regression period must be fixed, ie I am not looking for a regression performed over the last "x" periods.

 

Among the names u named which one u think does that and is easy to use ?

there is a drag and drop auto regression channel with various inputs as

how to calculate the parallel lines ( atr,standdard dev,stand error etc) for free

at hightick.com (mark sandiego is the author if i remember well) .

 

tradestation and multicharts compatible...

 

you only move the centeline once you initially set the indicator to whichever bar in the chart and the LRC adjusts it self...

you can repeat this any time you want as new data comes in...

andypap,

 

thank you for your post,

 

The "a user interactive linear regression channel indicator" on hightick.com looks like what I am looking for for now, and I definitely need to give it a try.

 

thank u again

The choice of software is a very personal one;

each has its own strengths, and quarks.

Most of the programs have free trials... you can test them out at your leisure.

 

Ninja is free... you can use it for as long as you like.

The only time you pay is if you use it to autotrade.

 

TradeStation is free if you use them as a broker.

 

MultiCharts, etc., has a 30 days trial.

 

 

If you do not have a programming background,

I would suggest you to stay with EasyLanguage compatible programs.

    • Date: 29th March 2024. GBPUSD Analysis: The Pound Trades Higher But For How Long? The global Stocks Markets are closed due to Easter Friday (Good Friday). The NASDAQ continued to follow the sideways trend while other indices again rose. The SNP500 reaches an all-time high, but the NASDAQ remains under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple. The Euro continues to trade lower against all major currencies including the US Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen. The British Pound is the best performing currency during this morning’s Asian session. However, investors are largely fixing their attention on this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. GBPUSD – The Pound Trades Higher but For How Long? The GBPUSD is slightly higher than the day’s open and is primary due to the Pound’s strong performance. At the moment, the British Pound is increasing in value against all major currencies. However, the US Dollar Index is also trading 0.10% higher and for this reason there is a slight conflict here. If investors wish to avoid this conflict, the EURUSD is a better option. This is because, the Euro depreciating against the whole currency market avoiding the “tug-of-war” scenario. The GBPUSD is trading slightly lower than the 2-month’s average price and is trading at 49.10 on the RSI. For this reason, the price of the exchange is at a “neutral” level and is signalling neither a buy nor a sell. The day’s price action and future signals are possibly likely to be triggered by this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. Analysts expect the Core PCE Price Index to read 0.3% which is slightly lower than the previous month but will result in the annual figure remaining at 2.85%. The PCE rate is different to the inflation rate and the Fed aims for a rate between 1.5% to 2.00%. Therefore, even if the annual rate remains at 2.85%, as analysts expect, it would be too high for the Fed. If the rate increases, even if only slightly, the US Dollar can again renew bullish momentum and the stock market can come under pressure. This includes the SNP500. Investors are focused on the publication of data on the UK’s gross domestic product (GDP) for the last quarter of 2023: the quarterly figures decreased by 0.3%, and 0.2% over the past 12-months. This confirms the state of a shallow recession and the need for stimulation. The data, combined with a cooling labor market and a steady decline in inflation, increase the likelihood that the Bank of England will soon begin interest rate cuts. In the latest meeting the Bank of England representatives did not see any members vote for a hike. USA500 – The SNP500 Rises to New Highs, But Cannot Hold Onto Gains! The price of the SNP500 rises to an all-time high, before correcting 0.33% and ending the day slightly lower than the open price. Nonetheless, the index performs better than the NASDAQ which came under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple which hold a higher weight compared to the SNP500. For the SNP500, these 3 stocks hold a weight of 9.25%, whereas the 3 stocks make up 14.63% of the NASDAQ. The SNP500 is also supported by ExxonMobil’s gains due to higher energy prices. The market will remain closed on Friday due to Easter. However, the market will reopen on Monday for the US and investors can expect high volatility. Investors will also need to take into consideration how the PCE Price Index and the changed value of the US Dollar is likely to affect the stock market next week.
