Classic Chart Indicators and Studies Find descriptions, formulas, parameters, and other help for the indicators and studies used by the Barchart.com Classic Charting application below. When charting any of the studies, the argument coloring is red, green then blue. For example, on a Moving Average chart [9, 18, 40], the 9 day would be the red line, 18 day would be the green line and the 40 day would be the blue line. The argument order is displayed on the chart next to the study name. Moving Regression LineThis study is also known as time series forecast and moving linear regression. With default parameters, it plots the end points of a series of 20-period linear regression lines with a zero period offset. A linear regression line is the straight line which produces the best mathematical description of the prices over the last 20-periods. Using a positive offset will move the results to the right, and conversely a negative offset will move the results to the left. Interpretation is similar to that for the moving average and offset moving average, except that the Time Series Forecast will usually respond to price divergences faster than the moving average, given the same number of time periods. The default time period parameter is 20, but as with most studies, this can be varied by inserting a value in the first parameter field. The default offset parameter is zero, and this can be adjusted by keying a value into the second parameter field. Sample Chart:   TOP
