Force Index Indicator

by


The Force Index is a trend-following oscillator that quantifies the movement of the market. It combines three basic elements such as the direction of movement, scale and market size. It relies on an auxiliary line to provide greater clarity so that it indicates a dominant bullish trend when the indicator remains above this line and a bearish trend when the indicator remains below.

Like all good indicators, the Force Index, has a very simple construction. This is simply to plot the slope between the last two prices and multiply the result by the volume involved. Once we have calculated the oscillator, the peaks are smoothed using an exponential moving average, because in its original form, these peaks can be very steep making it difficult to use in a trading system. The formula to calculate this indicator is the following:

Tips to identify the end of a Forex trend

by

Changes in the trend

A fundamental aspect that very few traders dominates how to determine when a trend is nearing its end and about to change to start a new trend. The turning point in which the change in the trend´s direction occurs is known as trend reversal. In many times the traders often find themselves in situations where they do not know if a trend will continue or reverse, for example when the market is in a lateral trend (the price moves without a defined trend).

In these cases these traders do not know if the trend is in a period of respite, gathering strength to continue  its movement or the market is at the beginning of a possible change in trend direction. In these and other similar situations the trader does not know whether to continue backing the current trend or wait a significant change in it. An error in this aspect can lead to large losses if the trader is not careful.

Detrended Price Oscillator Indicator (DPO) – Definition and Examples

by

What is the DPO indicator?

The Detrended Price Oscillator, also known by its acronym DPO, is an indicator used in technical analysis which is designed to provide information on the price of an asset taking into account market fluctuations in the short-term but no in broader movements in the medium and the long term. This indicator eliminates the effect of the market movement trend. This simplifies the process of determining cycles and overbought / oversold levels.

In other words, we can say that the DPO does not take into account the price trend and focuses on fluctuations in the trend. The Detrended Price Oscillator is calculated by subtracting from the current closing price the value of the simple moving average of n days or periods. n (the period for the moving average) is calculated by dividing the period chosen between two and adding one.

For example, the calculation of the DPO (20) in a daily chart is the following:
