The QStick indicator shows the dominance of black (down) or white (up) candlesticks, which are red and green in Chart, as represented by the average open to close change for each of past N days.
close[1]-open[1] + ... + close[N]-open[N] QStick = ----------------------------------------- N
Days which are up have positive amounts for close-open, days which are down have negative amounts. In adding them up they cancel out until the dominance of one over the other results.
