QQE Metatrader 4 Forex Indicator

    QQE is short for Qualitative Quantitative Estimation and represents a Metatrader 4 forex indicator that uses the smoothed Moving Average of Relative Strength Index indicator.

    It’s an oscillator that tries to find discrepancies in which price forms a new maximum while overcoming the level of its previous maximum.

    The QQE indicator also uses the ATR (Average True Range) as a volatility based trailing stop technical tool.

    The indicator does pretty well when monitoring assets like futures, stocks, forex etc.

    There are two default lines found within the indicator window: a dotted yellow line (slow trailing stop line) and a dodger blue line (fast trailing stop line).
