Qstick

Are candles mostly closing above where they opened, or below? Above zero means a run of buying sessions.

How is Qstick calculated?

Take the close minus the open for each candle, and average that over the last 10 candles.

Written by reading the engine’s real computation, not a textbook — where the two differ, the page describes what actually runs.

How do I use Qstick in a bot?

In the builder, add an indicator of type qstick (parameters: length, default 10). Its value becomes an operand you can compare in any entry or exit rule. The engine grades the whole rule honestly: real fills, no look-ahead, half the history held back.
