How the force index is computed ?
Knowing that volume is the fuel of a price movement, reliable breakouts and trend continuation are more likely to occur on high volume breakouts. This is why the force index is computed with the intensity of the price movement, and it's volume , using the formula ema13((close(n) - close(n-1)) * volume ).
