Volume Weighted Linear Regression Band

The Volume-Weighted Linear Regression Band (VWLRBd) is a volatility channel that uses a Linear Regression line as its dynamic baseline. Its primary feature is the decomposition of total volatility into two distinct components, visualized as layered bands.

Key Features:

Volatility Decomposition: The indicator separates volatility based on the 'Estimate Bar Statistics' option.

Standard Mode (Estimate Bar Statistics = OFF): The indicator functions as a standard (Volume-Weighted) Linear Regression Channel. It plots a single set of bands based on the standard deviation of the residuals (the error between the Source price and the regression line).

Decomposition Mode (Estimate Bar Statistics = ON): The indicator uses a statistical model ('Estimator') to calculate within-bar volatility. (Assumption: In this mode, the Source input is ignored, and an estimated mean for each bar is used for the regression). This mode displays two sets of bands:

Inner Bands: Show only the contribution of the 'residual' (trend noise) volatility, calculated proportionally.

Outer Bands: Show the total volatility (the sum of residual and within-bar components).

Regression Baseline (Linear / Exponential): The central line is a (Volume-Weighted) Linear Regression curve. An optional 'Normalize' mode performs all calculations in logarithmic space, transforming the baseline into an Exponential Regression Curve and the bands into constant percentage deviations, suitable for analyzing growth assets.

Volume Weighting: An option (Volume weighted) allows for volume to be incorporated into the calculation of both the regression baseline and the volatility decomposition, giving more influence to high-participation bars.

Multi-Timeframe (MTF) Engine: The indicator includes an MTF conversion block. When a Higher Timeframe (HTF) is selected, advanced options become available: Fill Gaps handles data gaps, and Wait for timeframe to close prevents repainting by ensuring the indicator only updates when the HTF bar closes.

Integrated Alerts: Includes a full set of built-in alerts for the source price crossing over or under the central regression line and the outermost calculated volatility band.
