Trendline Slope per Bar

Trendline Slope per Bar is the log-price slope associated with one event-index bar of the fitted line.

Advanced 1 linked topicEvidence-reviewed

Definitions

In plain terms

It describes the fitted ratio-like change per bar without annualizing it.

Technical

slope_log_per_bar = b* in z_hat(t)=a*+b*t; its unit is log-price per bar.

Scope

Annualizing or converting to a return requires a separate calendar and compounding contract.

Examples

  • A reviewer computes Trendline Slope per Bar on a small deterministic fixture and checks timing, units, and boundary behavior before publication.

Common misconceptions

  • Annualizing or converting to a return requires a separate calendar and compounding contract.

Evidence and governance

  1. Linear Least Squares Regression NIST/SEMATECH · official standard

    Supports: preferred label, short definition, technical definition, units

    Limits: A fitted line remains descriptive and is not evidence of a future price path.

  2. sklearn.linear_model.RANSACRegressor scikit-learn · first party technical publication

    Supports: preferred label, short definition, technical definition, units

    Limits: This package enumerates every two-point hypothesis for small pivot sets instead of using random sampling.

  3. numpy.log NumPy · first party technical publication

    Supports: preferred label, short definition, technical definition, units

    Limits: A log transform requires positive finite prices and does not by itself define a financial level.

  4. numpy.polyfit NumPy · first party technical publication

    Supports: preferred label, short definition, technical definition, units

    Limits: The glossary freezes its own log-space OLS contract, diagnostics, and tie rules.
