Explore LRDegrees_MCEA: a multi-currency engine using regression angles for smarter risk management in trading.
Introduction
In algorithmic trading, the biggest challenge isn't finding trends, but measuring their intensity. Many indicators are lagging or even repainting. Today, I'm introducing LRDegrees_MCEA, a Multi-Currency Expert Advisor (EA) built on a solid statistical foundation: Linear Regression Degrees (LRDegrees Indicator for MT5), an indicator I have shared with the global trading community on the MQL5 CodeBase since 2017.
The fundamental difference between Linear Regression Degress (LRDegrees) and the usual Linear Regression indicator is that LRDegress does not use a random price calculation, but in LRDegress I use a smoothed price calculation based on the EMA period 2 with Price Weighted Close (HLCC/4).
