"Developed by Dr Alexander Elder, the Force index combines price movements and volume to measure the strength of bulls and bears in the market. The raw index is rather erratic and better results are achieved by smoothing with a 2-day or 13-day exponential moving average (EMA).
The 2-day EMA of Force is used to track the strength of buyers and sellers in the short term;
The 13-day EMA of Force measures the strength of bulls and bears in intermediate cycles.
If the Force index is above zero it signals that the bulls are in control. Negative Force index signals that the bears are in control. If the index whipsaws around zero it signals that neither side has control and no strong trend exists.
The higher the positive reading on the Force index, the stronger is the bulls' power.
Deep negative values signal that the bears are very strong.
If Force index flattens out it indicates that either (a) volumes are falling or (b) large volumes have failed to significantly move prices. Both are likely to precede a reversal.
The 2-day Force index is used as part of Dr Eder's Triple Screen trading system.
Trading Signals
Only trade in the direction of the trend - indicated by the slope of the 13-day EMA.
Go long if the Force index is below zero and there is a bullish divergence.
Go short if the Force index is above zero and there is a bearish divergence.
Complete trading rules for the Force index can be found in Trading For A Living by Dr Alexander Elder."
Trapper the above is in quotes!
Someone asked me about the Force Index... looks interesting.
MAY ALL YOUR FILLS BE COMPLETE.

Rump -
If you really want or need a challenge, make a filter for DR. Elders Bull Power / Bear Power. The indicator is called the "Elder Ray" Do this, and I'll deem you "God" of the Tech world. LOL....Yeah, like you haven't already been given that title :) Anyway, looking at all the parameters on this site, I don't think it's possible anyway. Best of luck anyway bro!
