Q2MA: A Two-Moving-Average Trend Cloud

Summary

Q2MA is a simple trend indicator that displays a colored cloud based on two moving averages. It calculates the averages from the open and close price series, providing a visual way to follow changes in trend direction.

The document identifies the indicator’s implementation background and notes that it relies on an external smoothing library. It gives no trading rules, parameter guidance, performance results, or evidence that the cloud predicts future prices. The description is therefore useful as a basic explanation of the indicator’s inputs and visual purpose, but it does not establish how the signal should be interpreted or tested.

Key ideas

• Q2MA displays a colored cloud derived from two moving averages.
• The averages use the open and close price series.
• The document describes the indicator but provides no entry, exit, or risk rules.
• No performance evidence is given for the trend signal.
