ForceBars

ForceBars

Overview

ForceBars is a chart indicator for MetaTrader 4 that visualizes the relationship between the positive directional indicator (+DI) and the negative directional indicator (-DI) used in the Average Directional Movement Index (ADX) calculation.

The indicator works directly in the main chart window and does not require a separate subwindow.

Instead of displaying the traditional ADX lines, ForceBars colors the High–Low range of each bar according to which directional component is currently stronger:

  • when +DI > -DI, the bar range is displayed in the bullish color;

  • when -DI > +DI, the bar range is displayed in the bearish color;

  • when the dominant direction changes, an optional arrow can be displayed above or below the corresponding bar.

This approach allows traders to quickly identify the directional bias of the market directly on the price chart without switching to a separate indicator window.

How the Indicator Works

The calculation is based on the standard Average Directional Movement Index formula available in MetaTrader 4.

For each bar, the indicator compares the +DI and -DI values calculated over the selected period.

Main Conditions

  • If +DI is higher than -DI, the High and Low values of the bar are used to draw a colored segment in the bullish color.

  • If -DI is higher than +DI, the High and Low values of the bar are used to draw a colored segment in the bearish color.

  • When the relationship between +DI and -DI changes compared with the previous bar, the indicator can optionally display an arrow marking the change in directional dominance.

The width and colors of the displayed segments are controlled through the indicator's input parameters.

Empty values are used for bars that do not meet the corresponding condition, so only the relevant ranges are displayed on the chart.

Input Parameters

ADX Period

The period used to calculate +DI and -DI.

The default value is 14.

Higher values produce smoother results with fewer directional changes. Lower values make the indicator more responsive to short-term changes in directional movement.

Signal Gap

The vertical distance, measured in points, between the bar's High/Low and the corresponding arrow.

This parameter helps adjust the arrow position so that the signals remain clearly visible without overlapping the price bars.

Show Arrows

Enables or disables arrows that mark changes in directional dominance.

When set to false, only the colored High–Low segments remain visible on the chart.

Bull Color

The color of the segment displayed when +DI is stronger than -DI.

Bear Color

The color of the segment displayed when -DI is stronger than +DI.

Usage

ForceBars can be attached to any available chart and timeframe in MetaTrader 4.

The indicator does not repaint closed bars. Values on the current forming bar may change as new ticks arrive.

ForceBars is a visual analysis tool and does not contain built-in trading logic. It does not provide automatic Take Profit or Stop Loss levels.

The indicator can be combined with your own market analysis and trading rules, including:

  • market structure analysis;

  • support and resistance levels;

  • trend filters;

  • additional technical indicators;

  • custom trading systems and strategies.

The colored segments make it easier to identify periods when one directional component remains dominant for several consecutive bars.

Optional arrows highlight the moments when this directional dominance switches.

It can be used as an independent trading system. It is based on the idea that some currency pairs follow one another. The indicator allows you to simultaneously display several other charts on the chart of one currency pair, which allows you to anticipate some movements and fairly accurately determine the beginning of trends. The principle of trading according to indicator signals is also simple: you need to sell a currency pair whose chart is higher, and buy the lower one.
