Fast QQE Crossovers Filtered by Moving Average Trends

Summary

This strategy uses a smoothed, RSI-based QQE indicator to generate potential directional signals, then applies moving average filters to align trades with a broader trend. It describes three signal types: a zero-line cross, a QQE line cross, and a move out of an RSI threshold channel. Optional filters require price and moving averages to show bullish or bearish alignment, including an 8-period fast average, a 20-period medium average, and a 50-period slow average. The supplied settings enable the directional filter by default and include a trailing stop input.

The document provides no quantified backtest results. It warns that fast signals can be false, moving averages lag and may not protect against reversals, and sideways markets can cause repeated entries. It also notes that the strategy lacks intrinsic position sizing and relies on configurable stop settings. Suggested improvements include testing parameters across instruments and timeframes, adding trend or signal filters, and evaluating risk controls out of sample. Claims that it works broadly remain unsubstantiated in the provided material.

Key ideas

• QQE applies smoothing to RSI and supplies several possible crossover or threshold-based signals.
• Moving average alignment can filter signals toward the prevailing direction.
• The strategy includes configurable profit, stop, and trailing-stop inputs.
• False signals, reversals, sideways-market churn, and parameter fitting are key limitations.
• The document provides no measured performance results to support broad applicability.
