Donchian with QQW MOD AND EMA strategy

Script from: TradingViewIntradayTrend followingMomentumBreakout

This trading strategy enhances traditional indicators, setting the EMA length to 200 for trend confirmation. Modify the Donchian channel to a 30-period for refined entry points. Use QQE MOD on default settings for momentum insights. Long trades trigger above the 200 EMA with a blue histogram from QQE MOD and a concurrent Donchian red trend. Short trades require prices below the 200 EMA with a red histogram and a Donchian green trend.
