That's great Murray. Hope you put up some facts and figures to make your point. It is quite a leap you know to change platform etc. on a say so.

Orthogonal distance regression by wiki Background[edit] In the least squares method of data modeling, the objective function, S, S={\mathbf {r^{T}Wr}}, is minimized, where r is the vector of residuals and W is a weighting matrix. In linear least squares the model contains equations which are linear in the parameters appearing in the parameter vector {\boldsymbol \beta }, so the residuals are given by {\mathbf {r=y-X{\boldsymbol \beta }}}. There are m observations in y and n parameters in β with m>n. X is a m
Seems like a normal least squares regression would work more effectively. If a regression correctly models a stock's behavior a day early or a day late but is "close" geometrically we don't necessarily care correct?
