This indicator offers three customizable parameters:
Period
- Determines the calculation period, representing the length of the regression line in bars.
Power
- Adjusts the 'power' or degree of the polynomial to be calculated, influencing the curve's shape.
Applied Price
- Specifies the price used for calculations, such as Open, High, Low, or Close.
By adjusting these parameters, traders can analyze price trends and patterns with varying degrees of polynomial regression, providing insights into potential price movements.
Example Visualizations:
- Figure 1: Power = 2, Period = 50
- Figure 2: Power = 3, Period = 50
- Figure 3: Power = 2, Period = 100
- Figure 4: Power = 3, Period = 100
These visualizations demonstrate how different power and period settings impact the polynomial regression slope, offering traders a versatile tool for technical analysis.
