RegressionChannel historical values

[ATI user]

This has been driving me nuts for hours....then I see this tip...which is very true

Tips
You should not access historical values of this indicator [RegressionChannel] since the values can change from bar to bar. The values from n bars ago does not reflect what the values of the current bar really are. It is suggested that you only access the current bar value for this indicator.

amen to that....

I thought if RegressionChannel(40,3).Middle[0] gives the current value of the middle line in the channel, then RegressionChannel(40,3).Middle[39] would be the other end of the middle line...ha...no way....it gives the current value 40 bars ago.

I want to compare the current end to the other end to determine if the slope of the channel has turned up/down.

Ideas?

Thanks.

I suggest just modifying the indicator and exposing the slope variable for you to use.
