What it measures

The same straight-line fit as Linear Regression, extended one bar further: where the recent trend line says the next bar would land. It is plotted on today’s bar.

How traders use it

  • Used as a fast moving average that leads price slightly in a steady trend.
  • Price crossing the forecast line is used as a trend signal.
  • The Chande Forecast Oscillator measures the gap between price and this line.
