TradingView lets you layer indicators like Linear Regression Candles and build alerts for strategy signals. This guide walks through the exact setup for a scalping approach using these tools.
What Are Linear Regression Candles?
They replace standard candles with regression-based candles that smooth short-term noise, making trend direction and strength easier to read — a favourite for scalpers.
Adding Linear Regression Candles on TradingView
- Open your chart and go to Indicators.
- Search 'Linear Regression Candles' and add it.
- Set the lookback/length to fit your timeframe (scalpers often use short periods).
- Save the layout as a preset so it loads every time.
Setting Up Alerts
- Open Alerts (bell icon) on the chart.
- Attach the condition to your indicator (e.g. pullback to the regression channel or a candle close condition).
- Configure the alert to fire on price crosses or indicator conditions.
- Select email/push notification so you know instantly.
Building the Full Scalping Check
Combine regression candles with a trend filter (e.g. 200 EMA) and only trade in the direction of the higher timeframe. Fewer, higher-quality signals beat constant trading.
Test First
