LinReg (Linear Regression) channel settings

The linear regression indicator plots prices, over time, along with a normal distribution. This tool is used in technical and quantitative analysis in financial markets. Standard deviation lines indicate overbought and oversold areas, as well as entry price, stop-loss, and exit prices.

LineReg indicator has 4 commonly used, built-in presets, Default, Mini Channel, Single, Ray.

1 - Color / Split  / Width: changes standard deviation lines settings. Color - changes the background color of positive price deviation area/switches on or off deviation lines / changes the background color of negative price deviation area/changes deviation lines width;

2 - Color / Split  / Width: changes mean lines settings, available only when the standard deviation is switched on. Color - changes the background color of positive price deviation area/switches on or off means line / changes the background color of negative price deviation area/changes mean line width;

3 - Dash custom / defined: when checkbox selected dashing line frequency settings appear (min - 0, max - 50), when the checkbox unselected, predefined line selection option appears.

4 - Extend Left/Right: extend lines to the left and right directions, to the end of visible area;

5 - STDDEV channel - hides standard deviation lines, only mean line is visible;

6 - Source: defines the source of data for  linear regression calculation:

         POC - candle point of control defined as a source;

         VAL - candle values are low defined as a source;

         VAH - candle value area high defined as a source;

         VALVAH/2 - the sum of the VAL and VAH divided by two defined as a source;

         Open - candle open price defined as a source;

         High - candle high price defined as a source;

         Low - candle low price defined as a source;

         Close - candle close price defined as a source;

         OC/2 - the sum of the candle open and close divided by two defined as a source;

         HL/2 - the sum of the candle high and low divided by two defined as a source;

         OHCL/4 - sumo of the candle open, high, close, and low divided by four defined as a source; 

7 - Lock - locks LinReg indicator on the chart

Bottom panel:
