Effort and Result MT4 Indicator by PipTick

The Effort and Result indicator is based on the work of Karthik Marar; a volume spread analysis trader.

It compares a price change (Result) to the volume size (Effort) for a certain period. 

By comparing the effort and result, we can get more information about the future price movement. Both values are normalized and converted to a scale of 0 - 100 % based on a selectable look-back period.

This indicator is also known as the Effort Index.

The law of effort and result

The law of effort vs. result states that the change in the price of a trading vehicle is the result of an effort expressed by the level of volume and that harmony between effort and result promotes further price movement. In contrast, a lack of balance promotes a change in direction.
