Hi gp_sydney,

Than you very much for your help. I think I understand a bit better now. You are right: I need to get better at AFL. Someone helps me, but there is so much stuff to learn and even someone who is good at AFL can't be good at everything in it I guess. If I understand corretly, I don't even need a function, and I did use the

slope = LinRegSlope(Close, HHVBars(High,20));

and it did work correctly with the code calculating the angle.

However, I was wondering: does it calculate from the actual HHV High or from the HHV next day's bar?

I had that problem with rsquared as well where it was starting to draw the line with next day's data. With rsquared it is pretty straight forward to see when it doesn't work (I posted a message on this issue some day ago) but with LR it is more complicated as LR is a bit like an average of all the data... (If anyone was able to tell me how to set it so it could start from the hhv day and not the day after that, of course I would appreciate)

Anyway, thanks to everyone who helped me with this issue. I was finally able to get an angle from the LR. Next step for me is to improve a bit on that stuff. Tried to read the manual, but in my humble opinion next version of the manual should have more examples.

Thanks,

Louis

Louis,

You need to understand more of the basics of AFL, as the problem
you're mainly having now has nothing to do with linear regression but
rather just AFL language structure.

A function is a separate entity to the main code, and you need to
"return" the result from the function to use it elsewhere. Also, your
main code needs to call the function for it to do anything.

That function is not a correlation function, but one that calculates
the linear regression slope and intercept (if I interpreted the
formula correctly). The array 'b' is the slope, and 'a' the intercept.
What I called "line" and you've renamed to "slope" is the formula for
the resulting line in array form.

The parameters 'x' and 'y' are the generic coordinates for the data
points. In this case, 'x' would be the bar number (BarIndex()) and 'y'
the price (Close), giving a slope in dollars per bar.

So to finish the function correctly, assuming you just want the slope,
add the statement:

return b;

The "a + b*x" line can be removed, as it was only to indicate the
formula for the resulting line.

Then in the main code, add the lines:

range = HHVBars(High, 20);
slope = CorrV(BarIndex(), Close, range);

and use that "slope" variable in the arc-tangent formula to get an
array of slopes in degrees.

Tomasz indicated elsewhere that the LinRegSlope function can take an
array as the period, so you probably don't need your own function.
Also try:

slope = LinRegSlope(Close, HHVBars(High,20));

Regards,
GP
