        Regression Trend is similar to a Trend Channel. The difference is that it shows deviation levels (upper and lower) from a base line.
        The main idea of this tool is to determine where the price overcomes the deviation levels. Regression Trend is drawn by two points. 

        To add Regression Trend to the chart, click its name or the iconregression_trendon the Drawings Panel. Specify first point on the chart to start drawing a trendline, then specify the second point to place the regression trend.

        Note: To cancel drawing, press ESC
