Thread: Trend Line Future Value

I can not seem to get a deal on this very simple task. I am writing an EA, and I have two price coordinates and 2 time coordinates, ( say Time [0 n] and Time[0 1] therefore I am looking at say Time[1] and say Time[11] where Time[11] is my first Trend line coordinate and Time[1] is my next) for a trend line I am drawing as an object. I am attempting to determine what the worth of the next point on the Trend line will probably probably be at Time[0].

I have done this before years ago, and I am damned if I can remember how. LOL

Apologies for asking such a basic question. Help Please

Use bar numbers instead of time.

Have you already tried ObjectGetValueByShift() with a negative change? Functions which also may be useful are iTime() and iBarShift() for converting times and changes into every other.

I knew it was simple thanks. ObjectGetValueByShift() That is the purpose I forgot about. I could not remember it.

BTW, thanks to that Fantastic Equity Record mqh. Very impressive

I believe that the basic formula for slope (or some point on a line?) Is y=mx b, and from that values can be computed by you. Do an internet search distinct formulas, on incline. ...
Or ..., in Case You really want to get to math: use trig ;=)
