Linear Regression Indicator: Calculation in Microsoft Excel?

The Linear Regression Indicator (LRI) is a stock market indicator. It’s value each day is the same as a Linear Regression Trendline (LRT). The LRI is calculated using the "least squares method." I would like to know the formula to calculate the LRI in Microsoft Excel if you could assist me.

I am uncertain how my stock charting package calculates this value, but here are some clues. For the SPY, which generally tracks the value of the S&P 500 stock index, the LRI values at the end of the trading day today were LRI(1 day)=0; LRI(2 day)=128.42; LRI(3day)=128.51. The value for LRI(2 day) is simply the closing price of the SPY for today, which was 128.42. I’m really interested in how they calculate LRI(3day), and am seeking an explanation as to why LRI(1) is 0 and LRI(2) is today’s closing price.

I’m not sure whether they use the Open, High, Low and Close for each day, or just the Close or some combo. Here are those values for the last few days: (See Additional Details)
8/3: Open=127.33; High=128.55; Low=127.15; Close=128.42. 8/2: Open=127.58; High=128.46; Low=127.55; Close=128.08. 8/1: Open=127.34; High=127.38; Low=126.63; Close=127.22. 7/31: Open=127.66; High=127.96; Low=127.46; Close=127.85.

Trading indicators are best used along with money management and good risk control, using trading indicators alone will not enable you to be a successful trader, even if you learn everything about day trading indicators the market is just too random and unless risk is controlled, over time your account will slowly get wiped out, regardless how good a “trader” you think you are.

What is a bull-put credit spread (referring to trading AMZN)?

http://www.marketintelligencecenter.com/articles/1005318

Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) opened at 2.51. So far today, the stock has hit a low of 2.40 and a high of 4.59. AMZN is now trading at 3.29, up .06 (1.57%). Over the last 52 weeks the stock has ranged from a low of .52 to a high of 5.91. Shares of AMZN are rising this morning, getting momentum from a market rally touched off by news that the trade deficit fell to .9 billion in October as a weaker dollar boosted exports. Technical indicators for the stock are neutral and S&P gives AMZN a neutral 3 STARS (out of 5) hold ranking. If you are looking for a hedged play on AMZN the stock seems like it could be a candidate for a January out-of-the-money bull-put credit spread below the 110 range.

What Indicators do you look for on Stock, when Trading in the Stock Market ?!?

I am a Beginner Investor, and only know to Buy Low & Sell High.
I have found a Nice trend to trade on, and 2 companies which Oppose one another (BAC & SKF).

Now, when looking at the Numbers of Volume, Avg Vol., Net Assets & Yield, what determines what is going On with the Stock in that Company.

What determines how many people are Buying, Selling, and when to Buy or Sell?!?
I know that there is some Way to determine these types of Indicators, but I don’t know how to properly Use them.

If someone (an Experienced Investor) can tell me, or show me a Link to a Website that would Explain this, that would be Awesome!

I only want Legitimate answers Only!!

Thanks.
I am a Day Trader, if that helps any.
