RE: Trendiness or Congestion measurement - r-squared + Linearregression Slope

Al;
Book is -The New Technical Trader -Chande and Kroll.
Looking at the 23 period r-sq , it seems long. I had been using
a 10-15, figuring that the r-squared needed to be somewhere between
one quarter and one half the stock price period. If it is longer than
half the period it may miss the short term trend completely.
Any thoughts?

I have had a workshop with Mr. Chande about four years ago, but the
material did not discuss R-square.  What is the name of the book?  I too,
have found that "R" is more meaningful to me  than ADX.

Malcom>are you suggesting that since R-Squared has
 not fallen below .8 that the previous HHV for your trade represents
 a kind of support level?

Yes.  I will add that after downloading my data tonight and looking at the
chart of AMD, that a Fib line drawn from the 12-2 low to the 2-1 high would
give a 38.2 retracement value at 21.57.  I would expect support to be
within the 22.68-21.57 level.  I do not believe that the 22.94 low of today
will be the only test of that HHV.
