Force Index Indicator mt4

  Force Index Indicator measures the Bulls Power at each increase, and the Bulls Power at each decrease. It connects the basic elements of market information: price trend, its drops, and volumes of transactions. This index can be used as it is, but it is better to approximate it with the help of Moving Average. Approximation with the help a short moving average ( 2 intervals) contributes to finding the best opportunity to open and close positions. If the approximations is made with long moving average (period 13), the index shows the trends and their changes.

  • It is better to buy when the forces become minus (fall below zero) in the period of indicator increasing tendency;
  • The force index signalizes the continuation of the increasing tendency when it increases to the new peak;
  • The signal to sell comes when the index becomes positive during the decreasing tendency;
  • The force index signalizes the Bears Power and continuation of the decreasing tendency when the index falls to the new trough;
  • If price changes do not correlate to the corresponding changes in volume, the force indicator stays on one level, which tells you the trend is going to change soon.
    Calculation
    The force of every market movement is characterized by its direction, scale and volume. If the closing price of the current bar is higher than the preceding bar, the force is positive. If the current closing price if lower than the preceding one, the force is negative. The greater the difference in prices is, the greater the force is. The greater the transaction volume is, the greater the force is.

    FORCE INDEX (i) = VOLUME (i) * ((MA (ApPRICE, N, i) - MA (ApPRICE, N, i-1))

    where:
FORCE INDEX (i) — Force Index of the current bar;
VOLUME (i) — volume of the current bar;
MA (ApPRICE, N, i) — any Moving Average of the current bar for N period:
Simple, Exponential, Seighted or Smoothed;
ApPRICE — applied price;
N — period of the smoothing;
MA (ApPRICE, N, i-1) — any Moving Average of the previous bar.

Pip Cost

Hello ,

Many people have been asking about the value per pip when trading micro lots.

The value of a pip is determined by the pair of currencies being traded, the rate at which the currency pair is trading and the size of the position being traded.

Remember a micro lot is 1k in currency traded. This is opposed to a 10k mini or 100k standard lot.

The following currency pairs (where the USD is the quoted currency) have a fixed value of $0.10 per pip per micro lot: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, AUD/USD, NZD/USD.




To calculate the value of other pairs, which have a fluctuating pip value you can apply a simple calculation such as the example below.

Lets say you are trading the euro at 1.3500 for one micro lot.

When the exchange rate moves from 1.3500 to 1.3501, the value of your 1,000 Euro position has increased from $1,350 USD to $1,350.10. Pip value = $0.10.

That means if you trade a 10k lot that means you would earn $1 a pip.
.10 (per micro) x 10 = $1

K in general means 1 thousand (1 000).

1 micro lot = 1K = 1 000 units of currency,

For example if you are buying 1K (1 micro lot) of EUR/USD at $1.2000 you are buying 1 000 Euros with 1 200 US dollars.

If you are buying 10K (1 mini lot) of EUR/USD at $1.2000 you are buying 10 000 Euros with 12 000 US dollars.

If you are buying 100K (1 standard lot) of EUR/USD at $1.2000 you are buying 100 000 Euros with 120 000 US dollars.

Simplest way to understand how to calculate pip depends upon the currency pair involves. We start considering the situation when the US dollar is the quote currency as in the case of JPY/USD, GBP/USD or CHF/USD. Here calculating pip is very easy as pip has always a value of $10. As a standard Inter Bank lot size is 100000 and the pip is usually 0.01% hence the value of the pip comes to $10. So, while trading JPY/USD the market moves in your favor by 10 pips that mean you make a profit of $100.

If you want further clarification on pips you can check my blog
 

pips and stops micro

I think I understand the fractional pip concept and the bid/ask--buy/sell --spread that determines where you will be exiting BUT
I'm having issues with the distance the stop order is requiring.

For example, a sell price is .63799 and the spread is 2.5
I want to set a stop at .63845 --which is 4.6 pips, correct? but it won't allow a stop below .63851, which is 5.2 pips.
Since the stop I want to set is greater than the spread, why won't it allow it?

Is there a rationale to explain this?

You may be misinterpreting margin as a cost. When you open one microlot, which is 1,000 of the currency you are trading, you need at least $2.50 in your account as margin to control the position. If you open 10 microlots or 10,000 of the currency you are trading, you need $25 in margin money to control the position. Here is more:

add this line to explore afl

all credit goes to Avadhoot Nasikkar

Have you ever perturbed with ‘1’ & ‘0’ in the Buy/Sell column of the exploration window in the Amibroker?
Just Rejoice!
Put this simple line in your exploration and you shall see ‘Buy’ & ‘Sell’ in the exploration window that too with colour background, green for Buy and Red for Sell.

And that line is-

AddTextColumn( WriteIf(Buy,"BUY",WriteIf(Sell,"SELL","")) , "Buy/Sell", 1.2 , colorBlack, IIf( Buy, colorLime,IIf(Sell,colorRed,colorGreen) ));
