"""Linear Regression Trend -- regression-based trend detection with confidence bands.
Demonstrates:
- linreg_slope / linreg_value / linreg_r2 indicators
- Confidence-weighted sizing (R² as conviction filter)
- Multi-timeframe: slope on 4h window, trade on 15min bars
- Trailing stop for trend exits
- Bracket orders (stop-loss + take-profit)
The idea: fit a rolling OLS regression on price. When the slope is steep
and the R² is high (price moves in a straight line), we have a strong trend.
Size proportionally to slope strength * R² confidence.
