Forex Quant Strategy

    The Quant trading system is known to capitalize on statistics, numerical analysis and computer algorithm to considerably shrink the amount of time and energy traders require to put in for researching and trading.

    However, our Quant strategy does not auto trade on your behalf, instead it utilizes a pair of unique indicators, adopts a trading pattern and explores the market for matching setup rules.

    The Forex Quant strategy relies on the strength of the trend when triggering buy and sell market entries.

    The efficacy of the strategy is contained in the fact that it resolves to trade in the direction of the leading trend.

    To better understand this system, lets explain the following under listed examples.

    About The Forex Technical Indicators Used

    The Alligator is a technical indicator by Bill Williams, introduced in 1995.

    The indicator is comprised of three lines that are overlaid on the activity chart.

    The lines represent the jaw, the teeth and the lips of the Alligator.

    Forex traders tend to use this indicator to gauge trend and its likely direction.

    The QQE is short for Qualitative Quantitative Estimation, and represents a Metatrader 4 forex indicator that uses the smoothed Moving Average of Relative Strength Index indicator.

    It is therefore an oscillator that tries to find discrepancies in which price forms a new maximum while overcoming the level of its previous maximum.
