QQE Momentum Reversals with Trend, Volume, and ATR Filters
Summary
This two-direction strategy uses a smoothed RSI-based QQE signal to identify momentum changes. It confirms direction with an EMA trend filter and Heikin Ashi price, requires volume to exceed its moving average, and uses ATR-based trailing stops. When qualifying conditions appear in the opposite direction, the system closes the existing position and reverses.
The document describes the indicator logic and supplies a daily SOL/USDT backtest configuration, but does not report performance statistics; the title's Sharpe reference is not substantiated with results. It identifies false signals, delayed trend confirmation, parameter overfitting, inconsistent stop behavior across volatility regimes, and costs from frequent reversals as risks. Suggestions include multi-timeframe confirmation and stronger testing across market conditions. The source implementation's precise QQE state logic and trailing-stop behavior should be checked in the target platform before relying on the strategy.
Key ideas
- QQE derives a directional signal from smoothed RSI and a threshold based on smoothed RSI changes.
- EMA and Heikin Ashi conditions filter long entries, while an EMA condition filters shorts.
- Entries require volume to exceed its moving average and use ATR-based trailing exits.
- Opposite qualifying signals close the current trade and open a position in the other direction.
- The document provides a daily SOL/USDT test configuration but no reported performance results.
