I bring here a combination of two good indicators as the QQE/RSI. I saw few ideas like this online and I really like them when they get combined, it gives you a nice entry points if you want to use it. As I always said if you try it, post some feedbacks or comments!

QQE signal it's represent by a white line and RSI as Histogram with color levels!

Updates:
I updated more the QQE/RSI indicator so you can understand more since I moved from the original range to have 0 in the middle line.
I updated the QQE Signal so you can see when the fast lane cross with the QQE.

RSI level: 20 = 70 and 30 = 80.

Hi mbarcala, I am very interested in your updated script. I read the history on QQERSI from the links you previously provided. My charts look different than the ones above for BABA and AAPl. Your charts posted above look different from each other too. Is the script the same for each? What is the preferred new script you are suggesting? Many thanks.

here is a zoom screen shot . Maybe I am not using the correct script. I used the one above

Yes it's the same script. I only add the different levels that normally it's use on the RSI and QQE as OverSold and OverBought represented by color. Probably you looking at the end of you graphic and when I take the photos I was not at that point on my graphic that's all.

Not able able to see much from your image! I presume that you have the chart in daily candles, but remember that 8/4/21 is going to be only one candle and depending where you have the day more to the left or the right on your screen it could look different. Any way is possible to look better if you leave the chart with the QQE/RSI indicator only for the photo I mean, so I can see in your chart better because in that photo the chart is to compress an I can't compare nothing with my BABA photo

About the bottom indicator copy and paste the one above again in case that you keep seeing some deferents but it not support to be!

Your post about your indicator looking different was not true.
Please see my comparison of your indicator with the OP's.

The images are identical:

The RSI itself looks interesting - is there a way to scan for the RSI values / upsigns, etc.? Thank you for this contribution (and so many others)
 
Hi MerryDay, I thought RSI and QQE are very similar (QQE is a fancy or better version of RSI), we don't want to the same category of indicators if one could help it?

It works for the OP.
Collinearity doesn’t mean you never use same-type, non-repainting indicators. Same-type indicators can be useful in weeding out false signals of any one indicator. But you then still need a different type of indicator for confirmation of entry.
When using Trend/Momentum Indicators and Bands such as these, try combining with a Cycle Indicator such as Market Phase or ToS Chaiken. Never forget your support & demand.
And always, always review multi-timeframes. Higher to get an overall picture and make sure you aren't trading on noise. A lower to find entry.
Lastly, always have a stop-loss.

Hi mbarcala, thanks for looking at my zoom shot and showing there is not a difference. Now I can proceed knowing I have the correct script. I am also going to paste the script for the upper indicator. Many thanks for your help and fast replies.

I pasted your script for the upper indicator into my system. Is this the same script for the upper chart for AAPL for 10/21/20 with the blue bars and little o's?

how I set this up like you did to appear in the upper price chart. Thanks

Many thanks for the upper chart script. I was looking at the script and perhaps you can help me on what a blue bar means with a dot above or below. And how do I use this upper chart in conjunction with the bottom chart with the QQERSI indicator. Sorry for all the questions but these indicators appear to be helpful along with my various volume indicators. Thanks.

The blue candles represent the price crossing the EMA (in my case I use 20ema), the small points on top or bottom of the candles tell you in what direction the price it's going. if the price crossing down the 20ema the point will show on top of the candle and vise versa.

Can you help on deletion? Both # upper and # Down remain in the UP SCAN? what does the new DOWN SCAN look like after your suggestions?

scanner only support one plot at the time, that's why if you have Up scanner open you have to comment with # symbol the Down scanner and vice versa. Up scanner scan up signal and Down scanner scan down signal.

The up scan works. But down scan script keeps says error. I dont think I deleted the # in the proper place. Can you show me the script for the down? Thanks

to scan the down signal you create a new scan and take away the # from here
Code: 
plot dnSign = QQE crosses below pFastAtrRsiTL;

and add one # in here -->
Code: 
plot upSign = QQE crosses above pFastAtrRsiTL;
you can not have 2 plot at the same time.
