QQE Crossover Trading with ATR Exits and Equity-Based Sizing

Summary

This BTC-USDT futures strategy uses a fast QQE line, derived from a smoothed RSI, and a slower line built from RSI volatility bands. A cross above the slow line signals a long; a cross below signals a short. The description adds ATR-based stop and profit distances, trailing exits, and position sizing tied to account equity and a chosen risk percentage. It also describes closing positions when price crosses the QQE lines.

The document explains the indicator and risk-control concepts but supplies no performance statistics. The published backtest spans about a month on three-hour bars, which is not enough to establish broad reliability. The script’s sizing formula and order parameters do not clearly implement the stated per-trade risk calculation, and the strategy’s entry and exit conditions may interact in ways that differ from the prose. Sideways markets, slippage, parameter sensitivity, and large volatility shocks are noted concerns; broader testing is needed before drawing conclusions.

Key ideas

• The strategy generates direction from crossovers between fast and slow QQE lines.
• The slow QQE line is formed from RSI movement and volatility-based bands.
• ATR multiples define stop, profit, and trailing exit levels, while sizing is intended to depend on equity and risk percentage.
• The short published backtest and possible differences between the described sizing logic and code limit the evidence for effectiveness.
