Why not? Are you getting an error in when compiling? What is it?

Yea, it doesnt compile with the LowD there.

Ok, there'll be an error under the build tab in the editor. Can you copy it in?

Edit: Actually you probably just need to add a parameter for the number of days back - LowD(0)

Hi,

Didnt work with a number either. I think if there would be a number it would somehow have to indicate that its a number-series that it would have to calculate the regressionline on.

The error without a number:
causal study: (Function)

The error with a number: LinearRegAngle(LowD(2), 9)

causal study: (Function)

You may just need to declare it first. I use value instead of var so you don't need to declare the type with the "variables:" preample. So something like this:

 

Code

value1 = LowD(2); value2 = LinearRegAngle(value1, 9);

You can always check the function works at all with the output tab:

 

Code

MessageLog("Does LowD work? ",value1);

Hi,

Thank you for your help, I had given up but it got me really investigating it. It works both with a number and a variable now. Additionally I had to restart the PL editor, for some reason it had gotten stuck and wouldnt compile even with the number there. After a restart it compiles with the same syntax.

Glad to be of assistance Nikke.

Hmm..
Actually it was a bit too early.
It compiles ok, but the logic doesnt work. It probably now just uses the 2 there for all numbers instead of using a series of numbers for the regressionline.

Seems to work ok for me in an indicator. Signal should work exactly the same:

 

Code

value1 = LowD(0); value2 = LinearRegAngle(value2, 9); Plot1(value2);

..prints a wavy line.

Note LinearRegAngly can take a number or a series: https://help.tradestation.com:443/08_08/elword/function/linearregangle_function_.htm

Unfortunately this did not work for me in the signal, it just gives the angle =0 all the time for some reason.
No biggie though, can work around it.
