Regression Channel + R² Trend Quality

Fits a least-squares line to the last N closes and draws it with bands at a multiple of the residual standard deviation. It also reports R² (how straight the trend is, 0-1) and the slope in % per bar. The rolling end-point of the fit and its bands are plotted as series, so they never repaint; the full channel is drawn on the last bar.

How to use it

Strong trend = R² above 0.6 with a clear slope: buy dips to the lower band in up-channels (sell rips in down-channels). R² below 0.3 means no trend: the bands then act as range edges. Length 100 with 2 sigma is a balanced default on 1h-4h; use 50 for swing detail. Concept: Ordinary least squares regression (Gauss / Legendre); the "standard error channel" popularised by Gilbert Raff.

Back-tests and forward tests are simulations; past results do not predict future ones. Nothing here is financial advice. Trading carries a high risk of loss.
