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.
In practice, if prices cluster within a certain interval, it signals a potential zone of interest within the trend, enabling traders to strategize more effectively.
The intervals or zones of interest are visually emphasized in blue, making it easier for traders to identify them at a glance.
