> ForceIndex is typically presented as two smoothed averages (slow)and

> Interpretation:
>
> ForceIndex is used by some investors as a running total of where
> money is flowing. Because this indicator multiplies price movement in
> a period by the volume of that period, the value of ForceIndex will
> change the most when net change is accompanied by higher relative
> volume. Investor can use this index to both (a) compare current price
> movements to past ones and (b) evaluate the current trend.

> The periods used are a moving average of the ForceIndex values, which

> length of the trends in which they are studying. The longer-average
> will be the intermediate or longer-term trend and the shorter-average
> will be a shorter-term trend. Some conventional interpretations

> One interpretation is to look for a confirmation or divergence
> between ForceIndex and the price. When ForceIndex moves up with price
> increases or down with price decreases, it can indicate that the
> current trend is has momentum. When ForceIndex diverges from price,
> it can indicate that the trend may change.

> Another interpretation is to receive signals based on a crossover of

> uptrend. Conversely, when the fast line crosses below the slow line
> and they are both decreasing, it can be seen as confirmation of a
> downtrend. When a crossover occurs when the lines are going in
> opposite directions, it can indicate a trend reversal.
