Step force index is a modified version of the famous force index indicator. As the name suggests it incorporates a step feature to filter the force index values thus eliminating small fluctuations in the indicator. It also utilizes the smooth algorithm library thereby providing multiple smoothing options for the index values.
This personal implementation makes it a more easy to use and a reliable tool.
Main features
- A wide range of parameters for signals optimization
- Alerts, emails and push notifications to mobile
Advantages
- Easy to understand indicator for beginners
- Reliable signals
- Works on all instruments and timeframes
- Non repainting tool
- Helpful in trend trading, scalping and counter trend trading
Recommended usage
Since it is an oscillator type indicator, the usage becomes fairly easy. Zero levels crosses are the areas of focus and some usage examples are also provided below
- Higher input period values can help identifying the major trends and reversals. See Screenshot 1
- Multiple instances can be used to build a trend trading strategy. See Screenshot 2
- Binary view can provide more clarity and assist in fast trading i.e. scalping. See Screenshot 3
