Didi Index Improved with QQE | jh

I was perplexed by the lack of continuation signals in trends, so I spent some time looking for a suitable indicator just for that purpose and fast indicators that can provide continuation signals tend to be too noisy as well.

I'm always intrigued by QQE (Qualitative Quantitative Estimation), so I QQE-ed almost everything I encountered.

After a while, I settled on Didi Index and enhanced it by adding an additional signal line calculated from QQE trailing line. The QQE trailing line provides additional cross overs for the short/fast Didi line, specially created for the NNFX continuation signals in the same direction.

The QQE trailing line acts as zero cross, providing an additional filter for ranging periods.

There's a few ways of identifying the cross overs:

• Didi cross overs signals are highlighted with shapes at the top.
  
• Didi long signal when fast and slow Didi crosses above zero
  
• Didi short signal when fast and slow Didi crosses below zero
  
• Continuation signals are highlighted with shapes at the bottom.
  
• Continuation long signal when Didi fast line cross over QQE trailing line
  
• Continuation short signal when Didi fast line cross under QQE trailing line

Notes de version:

The original use of this indicator is to look for both lines separating from the zero line for a strong confirmation. If you plot 3, 8, 20 MA on the price, the stronger moves are when all 3 lines open up, 3 moves away from 8, 8 moves away from 20.

I'm offering an alternative use of this versatile indicator.

Adding more instructions on using this improved Didi Index indicator.

3 Main Lines

• Original Fast Didi in Green (Curta / Short)
  
• Original Slow Didi in Red (Longa / Long)
  
• QQE Trailing line using + crosses, green for long direction, red for short direction
  

Enhanced the shapes to indicate strong and weak signals

Recap

• Didi cross overs signals are highlighted with shapes at the top
  
• Didi long signal when fast and slow Didi crosses above zero in triangle up
  
• Didi short signal when fast and slow Didi crosses below zero in triangle down
  
• False signals in X crosses, green for long, red for short
  
  
• Continuation signals are highlighted with shapes at the bottom.
  
• Continuation long signal when Didi fast line cross over QQE trailing line in triangle up
  
• Continuation short signal when Didi fast line cross under QQE trailing line in triangle down
  
• Counter trend signals against the direction in X crosses, green for long, red for short
