William Blau’s Q-Period Stochastic Index as a Color Histogram

Summary

The document introduces a color-histogram implementation of William Blau’s Q-period Stochastic Index, an indicator described in his book on momentum, direction, and divergence. It identifies the indicator’s general form and points to a smoothing-algorithm library used by its implementation.

The text gives no calculation details, trading rules, charts with interpretable results, or performance evidence. It is therefore useful mainly as a brief reference to the indicator and its implementation context; readers would need the cited book or accompanying source material to understand how to calculate or apply it. The included promotional copy and terminal setup note do not add trading analysis.

Key ideas

• The indicator presents Blau’s Q-period Stochastic Index as a color histogram.
• It is associated with analysis of momentum, direction, and divergence.
• The implementation relies on smoothing algorithm classes, but this document does not explain their calculations.
