Periodic Linear Regressions [LuxAlgo]

How it works

The Periodic Linear Regressions indicator calculates linear regressions over user-defined time periods, creating trend lines that adapt to market data. By analyzing price movements within specific intervals, it generates a best-fit line representing the underlying price trend.

The indicator offers two primary methods: static and rolling linear regression. Static method provides a straight line emphasizing trend linearity, while rolling method continuously updates the regression line. Additional features include extremity bands calculated using root mean squared error, which help visualize potential support and resistance levels
