Re: [amibroker] Re: How to calculate a slope % with Rsquared without a loop?, AmiBroker Email List Archive

Ok I will try to look at this (or maybe someone else can help?) but how to do this without a loop. To what would such a code look like?

Thanks,

Louis

But LinRegSlope() looks like it will do the trick.
