QQE (Quantitative Qualitative Estimation) for ThinkorSwim

QQE modified by Iconoclastic 9.28.2021 http://tos.mx/37iIknw
  • # QQE charts as Histogram
  • # includes 5 period ADXmod with paint strategy
  • # includes 8 period RSI with paint strategy
  • # ADXmod & RSI8 paintstrategy adapted to bullish(ness) when greater than ZeroLine
  • # Histogram Blue, RSI8 Green, and ADXmod LightBlue is strongest indicator / likelihood of increasing stock price
  • # Minus10 line is there for entries with greater risk, ADXmod bounce or cross above -10

How to scan
when QQE crosses up then its a buy indication and when it crosses down a sell indication.

I have used many variations of QQE but this one seems to be most accurate. not the best coder so I need help please.

I believe the reason why it seems so accurate is that it's using two "Shorter" periods. The bars are being calculated by how far they're from the 50 line it seems.

Try using QQE on Tos with the settings.

Rsi = 6
SlowFactor = 3
QQE = 2.621

It should give you around the same results as the QQE version you showed.

The script https://usethinkscript.com/threads/...imation-for-thinkorswim.938/page-2#post-77353 that belongs to the image that you posted does not include any code to paint the 'candles colours.".

if you are asking about the histogram colors, they are based on a moving average of a 5 length RSI
If the RSI_ma is greater than 50 and if the ma of RSI_ma - absValue(rsi_ma[1] - rsi_ma) crosses RSI_ma then blue else if the opposite the red. If neither than gray.

im talking about candles colors. i was thinking that theres a colors rules plotted. thank you man!!!! I'm really lovin' it

this is a very good indicator! I will use next week to try but I already hear the sound of the money!!! thanks BenTen. I just would like to know this number come from where QQE = 4.236;?

QQE = 4.236 is a multiplier. Just as you have multipliers when you use the ADX, etc… They are set to optimize the script in relation to the other settings.

The two most common QQE settings that members seem to gravitate to are the settings you are currently using and the other is:
Rsi = 6
SlowFactor = 3
QQE = 2.621

Here you go

Code:

input length = 20;

plot AvgExp = ExpAverage(close, length);

def UpSignal = if close[1] crosses below AvgExp and close crosses above AvgExp or close crosses above AvgExp then 1 else 0;
def DnSignal = if close[1] crosses above AvgExp and close crosses below AvgExp or close crosses below AvgExp then 1 else 0;

AssignPriceColor(if UpSignal or DnSignal then CreateColor(0,130,211) else Color.CURRENT);

def prange = high - low;
def phigh = high + prange * .2;
def plow = low - prange * .2;

def SignUpDn = if UpSignal or DnSignal then 1 else if SignUpDn[1] == 1 and UpSignal or DnSignal then 1 else 0;

def debug = yes;
plot x = if !debug then Double.NAN else SignUpDn;
x.Hide();

## Yellow Point Signal ##
plot SignUpDt = if UpSignal and signUpDn[-1] == 0 then plow else if DnSignal and signUpDn[-1] == 0 then phigh else Double.NaN;
SignUpDt.SetDefaultColor(Color.YELLOW);
SignUpDt.SetStyle(Curve.POINTS);
SignUpDt.SetLineWeight(3);

I having a displaying issue here and I just trying understand why it showing like this? the signal on this indicator displaying under the line50 when I put some color on it, I try few ways but not look at the moment? any advice what could I missing?

Code: 
def FastAtrRsiTL = if trend == 1 then longband else shortband;
plot pFastAtrRsiTL = FastAtrRsiTL;
pFastAtrRsiTL.SetDefaultColor(CreateColor(60,115,144));
pFastAtrRsiTL.SetStyle(Curve.SHORT_DASH);
pFastAtrRsiTL.HideBubble();
pFastAtrRsiTL.HideTitle();

def line50 = 50;

plot pRsiMa = rsi_ma;
pRsiMa.SetDefaultColor(CreateColor(204,0,204));
pRsiMa.SetLineWeight(2);
pRsiMa.HideBubble();
pRsiMa.HideTitle();

plot colft = line50;
colft.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.HORIZONTAL);
colft.AssignValueColor(if pFastAtrRsiTL > pRsiMa then Color.RED else if pFastAtrRsiTL < pRsiMa then Color.GREEN else Color.DARK_GRAY);
colft.SetLineWeight(2);

Pensar, Thank you for the Scan Script. When I ran the Scan today Jan20-22, get only "Bullish" results, 17 Stocks. Is this due to current market condition or this scan is for only "longTrades"? Please post for short trades also.

for Bearish scan, you need to add another study in you scan setup and change this 2 line

Code: 
#plot CrossAbove = if rsi_ma crosses above FastAtrRsiTL then 1 else 0;
plot CrossBelow = if rsi_ma crosses below FastAtrRsiTL then 1 else 0;

this way you can scan both way!
