QQE Indicator Variant with Fixed Overbought and Oversold Levels

Summary

The document briefly explains the QQE, or Quantitative Qualitative Estimator, as an indicator built from a smoothed Relative Strength Index and two volatility-based trailing levels, commonly described as fast and slow. These components provide a way to track RSI behavior alongside volatility-sensitive thresholds.

The described variant replaces the original trailing levels with fixed levels for estimating overbought and oversold conditions. The text says this change is intended to make the indicator easier to use, but it gives no parameter values, chart examples, trading rules, or empirical results. It therefore introduces the indicator’s structure and a design difference without establishing whether the variant improves signal quality or performance. Users would need to define thresholds and test how they behave across markets and timeframes.

Key ideas

• QQE combines a smoothed RSI with two volatility-based levels.
• The variant replaces trailing levels with fixed thresholds.
• The fixed thresholds are used to estimate overbought and oversold conditions.
• The document gives no parameter settings or performance evidence.
