Best Fit Linear Regression with StdDev Bands
Best Fit Linear Regression with Standard Deviation Bands
The Best Fit Linear Regression with StdDev Bands is a custom TradingView indicator designed to analyze price trends and volatility over a specified number of bars. It plots a linear regression line representing the best fit for the selected price data, accompanied by optional standard deviation bands to visualize price dispersion.
📈 Key Features
Linear Regression Line: Calculates the best-fit line over a user-defined number of bars, providing a clear visualization of the prevailing price trend.
TradingView
Standard Deviation Bands: Optional upper and lower bands set at a multiple of the standard deviation from the regression line, indicating potential support and resistance levels.
Price Source Selection: Choose between using the closing price or the midpoint (average of high and low) for calculations.
Weighting Options: Apply True Range weighting to emphasize periods of higher volatility in the regression calculation.
Trend Strength Indicator: Displays a normalized strength value between -1 and 1, indicating the direction and magnitude of the trend.
Customizable Appearance: Adjust line color, width, label position, and background color to suit your preferences.
Extendable Lines: Option to extend the regression and standard deviation lines beyond the visible bars for projection purposes.
⚙️ Input Parameters
Bars to Analyze: Number of bars to include in the regression calculation (default: 100).
Price Value: Select "Close" or "Midpoint" as the data source for calculations.
Weighting Method: Choose between "None" or "True Range" weighting.
Line Color & Width: Customize the color and thickness of the regression line.
Label Position: Place the informational label at the start, center, or end of the regression line.
Label Background Color: Set the background color for the informational label.
Extend Line Beyond Visible Bars: Option to project the regression line into future bars.
Show Standard Deviation Bands: Toggle the visibility of the standard deviation bands.
Standard Deviation Multiplier: Set the multiplier for the standard deviation bands (default: 1.0).
StdDev Bands Color: Customize the color and transparency of the standard deviation bands.
🧮 How It Works
Data Collection: Gathers price data based on the selected source (Close or Midpoint) over the specified number of bars.
Weighting (Optional): Applies True Range weighting if selected, giving more importance to bars with higher volatility.
Regression Calculation: Computes the slope and intercept of the best-fit line using the least squares method.
Standard Deviation: Calculates the standard deviation of the price data from the regression line to determine the dispersion.
Plotting: Draws the regression line and, if enabled, the upper and lower standard deviation bands.
Labeling: Displays a label indicating the trend direction (Bullish, Bearish, or Neutral), strength percentage, and standard deviation value.
📊 Interpretation
Trend Direction: The slope of the regression line indicates the trend direction.
Trend Strength: The normalized strength value provides insight into the magnitude of the trend.
Price Position: Prices near or beyond the standard deviation bands may indicate overbought or oversold conditions.

🛠️ Use Cases
Trend Analysis: Identify and confirm the direction and strength of market trends.
Volatility Assessment: Gauge market volatility through the width of the standard deviation bands.
Support and Resistance: Use the standard deviation bands to identify potential support and resistance levels.
Trade Timing: Assist in determining optimal entry and exit points based on price interaction with the regression line and bands.
This indicator is particularly useful for traders seeking a statistical approach to trend analysis, offering customizable options to tailor the tool to various trading strategies and preferences.
