Multiple Logistic Regression indicator

Introduction to Multiple Logistic Regression

In traditional technical analysis, we usually look at an indicator and wait for a fixed level (like RSI > 70). Logistic Regression is different. It is a statistical model used to determine the probability of an event occurring (e.g., “Is the price likely to go up?”).

Because this is a Multiple regression, it looks at six different indicators simultaneously, weighs their importance, and outputs a single value between 0 and 1.

• Value > 0.5: Bullish probability.
• Value < 0.5: Bearish probability.

How it Works: The Logic Breakdown

The code is divided into four main logical phases: Feature Calculation, Normalization, The Probability Engine, and The Learning Phase.

1. The Features (Inputs)

The model uses six “features” to understand the market:

1. RSI: Momentum2.
2. CCI: Trend strength and overbought/oversold levels.
3. DMI: Directional movement (DI+ vs DI-).
4. Aroon: Trend detection and age.
5. EMAs: Moving average crossovers for trend direction.
6. Supertrend: A volatility-based trend follower.

2. Normalization (The Binary State)

Machine Learning models work best with simplified data. The code takes the indicators above and converts them into 1 (Bullish) or -1 (Bearish). For example:

if rsivalue > 50 then
   x1=1
else
   x1=-1
endif

This transforms complex curves into a set of binary votes.

3. The Probability Engine (The Sigmoid Function)

This is the mathematical heart of the indicator. It calculates a weighted sum of all normalized inputs (z) and passes them through the Sigmoid Function:

p = 1/ (1 + e^(-(beta0 + beta1x1 + beta2x2 …)))

This formula “squashes” any input value into a range between 0 and 1. The result p represents the raw probability of the current trend.

4. Gradient Descent: How it “Learns”

Unlike a standard indicator, this code calculates a Loss Function. It compares its prediction (p) against what is actually happening in the price (using a Z-score of the Close).

myloss = (-y) * log(p) - (1-y) * log(1-p)

If the model is “wrong” (high loss), it uses Gradient Descent to adjust the weights (Betas) of each indicator.

• Learning Rate (lr): This controls how fast the model changes its mind. A value of 0.08 means it adapts slowly and smoothly to avoid market noise.
• Adjusted Betas: The values b1 through b6 are the “learned” weights. If the RSI has been a reliable predictor lately, its Beta will increase.

Reading the Dashboard

One of the most powerful features of this script is the On-Chart Data Table.

• Variable Column: The name of the indicator.
• Val Column: The current normalized state (1 or -1).
• Beta Column: The weight the model is currently giving to that indicator.
• High Beta: The model relies heavily on this indicator.
• Low Beta: The model is ignoring this indicator because it has been inaccurate recently.

Configuration & Parameters

• length = 50. The period used for the Z-score (the “truth” the model learns from).
• lr = 0.08. Learning Rate. Higher values make the model adapt faster but more erratically
• .b1 – b6 Variable. The initial “guess” weights for each indicator.
• Factor/ATR 3.2 / 2 Parameters for the internal Supertrend calculation.
