This innovative trading indicator draws inspiration from traditional statistical histograms to analyze market trends with precision. Specifically, it determines the frequency of price occurrences within various intervals—or "bins"—set along a linear regression channel. This methodology proves particularly beneficial in identifying key zones of interest amid prevailing market trends, offering traders valuable insights for potential opportunities.

Understand the Indicator's Settings

  • Length: Choose how many past closing prices should be used to compute the linear regression, helping define the scope of analysis.
  • Bins Number: Decide the number of intervals that will form within the linear regression channel, affecting the granularity of the analysis.
  • Mult: Use this multiplicative factor for the RMSE to adjust the width of the linear regression channel, giving flexibility in how price movements are tracked.
  • Src: Select the input source of the indicator to tailor the analysis to your preferred price data.

How to Trade Using This Histogram-Based Indicator

Constructed by segmenting the linear regression channel into equal-width intervals, this indicator meticulously counts how many price values land in each interval. Such segmentation unveils specific zones where prices frequently occur—suggesting potential areas of market interest.
