Hello tkaboris,

Thank you for your post.

Is the LinRegSlope(Close, 14) based on the same input series as the indicator on your chart? Your chart appears to be showing the indicator based on a 5-second NQ 03-24 series, yet your prints do not seem to output every 5 seconds. Are you printing the values on bar close, on each tick, or on price change? There is likely a difference between the indicator applied programmatically and the indicator applied to the chart visually that would help to explain why you might be seeing different values between the two.

Please provide a reduced sample of your script demonstrating the data series being used and a screenshot of the indicator settings for the Lin. reg. slope shown on your chart.

I look forward to your reply.
