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

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...

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.

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: 3rd April 2025.   Gold Prices Pull Back After Record High as Traders Eye Trump’s Tariffs.   Key Takeaways:   Gold prices retreated after hitting a record high of $3,167.57 per ounce due to profit-taking. President Trump announced a 10% baseline tariff on all US imports, escalating trade tensions. Gold remains exempt from reciprocal tariffs, reinforcing its safe-haven appeal. Investors await US non-farm payroll data for further market direction. Fed rate cut bets and weaker US Treasury yields underpin gold’s bullish outlook. Gold Prices Retreat from Record Highs Amid Profit-Taking Gold prices saw a pullback on Thursday as traders opted to take profits following a historic surge. Spot gold declined 0.4% to $3,122.10 per ounce as of 0710 GMT, retreating from its fresh all-time high of $3,167.57. Meanwhile, US gold futures slipped 0.7% to $3,145.00 per ounce, reflecting broader market uncertainty over economic and geopolitical developments.   The recent rally was largely fueled by concerns over escalating trade tensions after President Donald Trump unveiled sweeping new import tariffs. The 10% baseline tariff on all goods entering the US further deepened the global trade conflict, intensifying investor demand for safe-haven assets like gold. However, as traders locked in gains from the surge, prices saw a modest retracement.   Trump’s Tariffs and Their Market Implications On Wednesday, Trump introduced a sweeping tariff policy imposing a 10% baseline duty on all imports, with significantly higher tariffs on select nations. While this move was aimed at bolstering domestic manufacturing, it sent shockwaves across global markets, fueling inflation concerns and heightening trade war fears.   Gold’s Role Amid Trade War Escalations Despite the widespread tariff measures, the White House clarified that reciprocal tariffs do not apply to gold, energy, and ‘certain minerals that are not available in the US’. This exemption suggests that central banks and institutional investors may continue favouring gold as a hedge against economic instability. One of the key factors supporting gold is the slowdown that these tariffs could cause in the US economy, which raises the likelihood of future Federal Reserve rate cuts. Gold is currently in a pure momentum trade. Market participants are on the sidelines and until we see a significant shakeout, this momentum could persist.   Impact on the US Dollar and Bond Yields Gold prices typically move inversely to the US dollar, and the latest developments have pushed the dollar to its weakest level since October 2024. Market participants are increasingly pricing in the possibility of a Fed rate cut, as the tariffs could weigh on economic growth.   Additionally, US Treasury yields have plummeted, reflecting growing recession fears. Lower bond yields reduce the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding assets like gold, making it a more attractive investment.         Technical Analysis: Key Levels to Watch Gold’s recent rally has pushed it into overbought territory, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) above 70. This indicates a potential short-term pullback before the uptrend resumes. The immediate support level lies at $3,115, aligning with the Asian session low. A further decline could bring gold towards the $3,100 psychological level, which has previously acted as a strong support zone. Below this, the $3,076–$3,057 region represents a critical weekly support range where buyers may re-enter the market. In the event of a more significant correction, $3,000 stands as a major psychological floor.   On the upside, gold faces immediate resistance at $3,149. A break above this level could signal renewed bullish momentum, potentially leading to a retest of the record high at $3,167. If bullish momentum persists, the next target is the $3,200 psychological barrier, which could pave the way for further gains. Despite the recent pullback, the broader trend remains bullish, with dips likely to be viewed as buying opportunities.   Looking Ahead: Non-Farm Payrolls and Fed Policy Traders are closely monitoring Friday’s US non-farm payrolls (NFP) report, which could provide critical insights into the Federal Reserve’s next policy moves. A weaker-than-expected jobs report may strengthen expectations for an interest rate cut, further boosting gold prices.   Other key economic data releases, such as jobless claims and the ISM Services PMI, may also impact market sentiment in the short term. However, with rising geopolitical uncertainties, trade tensions, and a weakening US dollar, gold’s safe-haven appeal remains strong.   Conclusion: While short-term profit-taking may trigger minor corrections, gold’s long-term outlook remains bullish. As global trade tensions mount and the Federal Reserve leans toward a more accommodative stance, gold could see further gains in the months ahead.   Always trade with strict risk management.
