The QQE Mod Histogram indicator for MT4 is a modified version of the classic QQE (Quantitative Qualitative Estimation) indicator. By combining the RSI with a smoothing factor, it identifies overbought and oversold levels, market trend direction, and trend strength.
This indicator is ideal for both new and experienced traders and works on all timeframes—from intraday charts to daily, weekly, and monthly charts. It is also suitable for use in automated trading strategies.
How the QQE Mod Histogram Indicator Works
The indicator plots a color-coded histogram to reflect the current market condition:
- Green bars → Bullish trend
- Red bars → Bearish trend
- Yellow bars → Neutral trend
It also uses oscillator boundaries:
- Upper level: 60
- Lower level: 40
- Thresholds: +10 and -10
A histogram bar above +10 signals bullish momentum, while a bar below -10 indicates bearish momentum. Yellow bars signal indecision or a neutral market.
