35 Quantitative Qualitative Estimation (qqe)

The Quantitative Qualitative Estimation (QQE) is similar to SuperTrend but uses a Smoothed RSI with an upper and lower bands. The band width is a combination of a one period True Range of the Smoothed RSI which is double smoothed using Wilder’s smoothing length (2 * rsiLength - 1) and multiplied by the default factor of 4.236. A Long trend is determined when the Smoothed RSI crosses the previous upperband and a Short trend when the Smoothed RSI crosses the previous lowerband.
