Myfxpaddy Trend Surf Indicator

 Myfxpaddy Trend Surf Indicator for MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, and cTrader is based on the Quantitative Qualitative Estimation (QQE) method. This indicator uses a complex calculation of smoothed RSI indicators, resulting in two lines in a separate indicator window: the fast line and the slow line. An important indicator level (50) is used for signals. You can enable text, sound, and e-mail alerts for this indicator. This implementation supports multi-timeframe analysis with upper timeframe display. The indicator is available for MT4, MT5, and cTrader.

The presented version of the Myfxpaddy Trend Surf Indicator is free and open-source. You can easily download and install it on your trading platform.

Strategy and Example

The Myfxpaddy Trend Surf Indicator is an oscillator that can be used for direct signaling or divergence analysis. It has two types of signals: the two lines crossing each other and the blue line crossing a level.

• When the blue line crosses the yellow line from above, it is a sell signal.

• When the blue line crosses the yellow line from below, it is a buy signal.

• When the blue line crosses a given level from above, it is a sell signal.

• When the blue line crosses the given level from below, it is a buy signal.

The example below shows a EUR/USD hourly chart with a QQE instance using 4-hour chart data to plot the lines. Two red arrows indicate two bearish signals: the first one generated by the lines’ crossover and the second one generated by the blue line crossing level 50.
