Program 63 | Linear regression plot and oscillator

Linear regression plots and an oscillator based on plots

Click on any of the following images to see bigger versions.

In tutorial 49 I demonstrated how to create a linear regression channel consisting of a linear regression line together with two parallel lines a user defined number of standard deviations away. This program uses a similar technique to draw the channel and plot three lines that are located at the right ends of a smoothed version of the channel. A second option allows oscillators to be draw based on two of the plots. This is all explained in greater detail below. The linear regression formulae are explained in tutorial 48.

The following image shows the plots (including a non-smoothed version of the center line) and demonstrates how the plot is related to the linear regression channel. Notice how the end of each successive linear regression coincides with the plot:

The arrows shows the plot being drawn at the end of the linear regression lines. N.B the upper and lower plots (and one of the middle plot displayed as a yellow color) are based on smoothed version of this plot.

One of the user inputs allows the linear regression channel end points to be plotted as follows:

The first and second upper lines and the first and second lower lines are drawn a user input number of standard deviations above and below of the smoothed center line. The upper and lower lines are smoothed. One of the middle lines is smoothed and the other is not.

The second option draws two oscillators. One is based on the first upper line and one is based on the first lower line. These lines are calculated using the unsmoothed version of the end value of the center linear regression line.

Unlike the program included with tutorial 49, this program will run on second, tick and other charts, such as Renko charts. See examples of these charts lower down the page.

Program download

Program 63 was developed for TradeStation 9.5 and above and is not compatible with MultiCharts.

An UNPROTECTED version (i.e. the TradeStation EasyLanguage indicator is fully functional and you can see the source code) is also available for for immediate download for $49.95- by clicking the ‘add to cart’ button. Because this version is  unprotected you can open it, see the program code and modify it.

Graph options

1. In the first option the channel is always moved to the end of the chart to apply to the last NumBars bars.

2. A new channel is drawn every time a new bar is printed.

3. The channel is drawn when the show me study is first applied to the chart and doesn’t move.
