I have the code. You are missing a statement. I have modified your code
below to match mine.

I show a reference to TASC Traders' Tips, December '97.

***********************  VFORCE  ***************************************
Vars: TSum(0), Trend(0), DM(0), CM(0);

TSum = High + Low + Close;

IF TSum > TSum[1] Then
        Trend = 1
Else
        Trend = -1;

DM = Range;

IF Trend = Trend[1] Then
        CM = CM + Range
Else
        CM = Range + Range[1];

IF CM <> 0 Then
        VForce = Volume * AbsValue(2 * (DM/CM) -1) * Trend * 100;
