Qualitative Quantitative Estimation

Developer: FXCM

The Qualitative Quantitative Estimation (QQE) indicator works like a smoother version of the popular Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicator.  QQE expands on RSI by adding two volatility based trailing stop lines.  These trailing stop lines are composed of a fast and a slow moving Average True Range (ATR).  These ATR lines are smoothed making this indicator less susceptible to short term volatility.

The most common method of using QQE is to look for crosses of the fast and slow moving trailing stop lines during periods when the QQE line reflects overbought or oversold conditions.

This indicator was developed on FXCodebase*.
