The Linear_Regression_Line.ex4 custom indicator is primarily used in determining the direction of a trend. The indicator essentially measures the line of best fit for a price series.
The i_daystochastic_v1_1.ex4 custom indicator is a stochastic indicator, in which the indicator period is calculated automatically using the number of bars of the current day.
