93# Force Index Trading System

Submit by Janus Trader 07/05/2013

The Force Index focuses on three key pieces of market information -- price change, extent of price change and trading volume. The force of every move is defined by its direction, distance, and volume. If prices close higher, the force is positive, if lower, then negative. The greater the change in prices, the greater the force. The greater the volume, the greater the force. That is the simple but powerful concept behind Force Index.Like other oscillators, Force Index works best if it is smoothed with a moving average (MA). Force Index smoothed with a short MA , e.g. two days, helps pinpoint entry and exit points. Force Index smoothed with a longer MA, e.g. 13 days, shows major change in the force of bulls and bears.

Building the Force IndexYou can build your own Force Index database for any security or index in a spreadsheet. Here is the formula:

Force Index = Volume Today * (Close Today - Close Yesterday)
