Well, it's tough to find one. So, I wrote one. Here it is.

Make sure you put your OtherSymbol in " ". ex. "GBPUSD".
LRPeriod is the number of periods you want the correlation calculation to be on.

Formula from the book here:
Amazon on Page 313.

Oops. Forgot to add; the results are in %. Easier to read.

Put break in switch statements in LR Correlation.

Aded another indicator, LR Least Squares.mq4. This follows the Least Squares method of finding a linear slope for a set of data. Page 319 of the same book.
Note: Least Squares will give you the same numbers as in a text book, but I've also divided the result by Point. Reason is, if you code an EA against it, it's easier to deal w/ numbers to the 'left' of the decimal as opposed to all of them being to the 'right' of the decimal.

hey non d.... ...... nice......

sometimes the switch operator works best with 'break'.....h

Inserted Code
 
double procLinearReg(int p, int i)
{
   double SumX=0,b=0,r=0,SumY=0,SumXY=0,SumX2=0,SumY2=0,y=0,x=0;
   for(int c=1; c<=p; c++)
   {
      switch(Type){
         case 0:{x=Close[c+i];
                 y=iClose(OtherSymbol,0,c+i);}break;// 
         case 1:{x=Open[c+i];
                 y=iOpen(OtherSymbol,0,c+i);}break;// 
         case 2:{x=High[c+i];
                 y=iHigh(OtherSymbol,0,c+i);}break;// 
         case 3:{x=Low[c+i];
                 y=iLow(OtherSymbol,0,c+i);}break;// 
         case 4:{x=(High[c+i]+Low[c+i])/2;
                 y=(iHigh(OtherSymbol,0,c+i)+iLow(OtherSymbol,0,c+i))/2;}break;// 
         case 5:{x=(High[c+i]+Low[c+i]+Close[c+i])/3;
                 y=(iHigh(OtherSymbol,0,c+i)+iLow(OtherSymbol,0,c+i)+iClose(OtherSymbol,0,c+i))/3;}break;// 
         case 6:{x=(High[c+i]+Low[c+i]+Close[c+i]+Close[c+i])/4;
                 y=(iHigh(OtherSymbol,0,c+i)+iLow(OtherSymbol,0,c+i)+iClose(OtherSymbol,0,c+i)+iClose(OtherSymbol,0,c+i))/4;}break;// 
         default:{x=(High[c+i]+Low[c+i]+Close[c+i])/3;
                  y=(iHigh(OtherSymbol,0,c+i)+iLow(OtherSymbol,0,c+i)+iClose(OtherSymbol,0,c+i))/3;}
      }//switch(Type)
to trade and code, keep both simple... no call to impress....h
