- The Quartile For Loop (QFL) is an advanced trend-following and scoring oscillator designed to detect momentum shifts and trend transitions using a quartile-based analysis. By leveraging quartile calculations and iterative scoring logic, QFL delivers dynamic trend signals which can be tailored to suit various market conditions.
1️⃣ Quartile-Based Calculation The indicator calculates the weighted average of the first quartile (Q1), median (Q2), and third quartile (Q3) over a customizable length, providing a robust adaptive trend value.
2️⃣ For Loop Scoring System A unique for-loop structure iteratively scores each quartile value against historical data, delivering actionable trend signals. Users can toggle between price-based and quartile-based scoring methods for flexibility.
3️⃣ Threshold Logic
Bullish (Uptrend): Score exceeds the positive threshold.
Bearish (Downtrend): Score falls below the negative threshold.
Neutral: Score remains between thresholds.
4️⃣ Visual Trend Enhancements Optional candle coloring and a color-coded SMA provide clear visual cues for identifying trend direction. The adaptive quartile is dynamically updated to reflect changing market conditions.
