RSquared

Description

The R-Squared (R2) is a technical indicator, which measures how closely a data set fits to the linear regression trendline. When used as a chart study, its values represent the correlation between real data points (close prices) and corresponding linear regression trendline points. In mathematical terms, R-Squared is equal to the square of the Pearson correlation coefficient. For optimization purposes, values of the coefficient may also be smoothed by a simple moving average.   

R-Squared values range from 0.0 to 1.0; higher values signify the higher extent of correlation, while those close to 0.0 indicate absence of such correlation.
