Indicator of Balance of Forces Between Buyers and Sellers in All Time Frames for MT4

In this article we are going to explain a modified indicator for Metatrader 4, which measures the balance of forces between buyers and sellers for each time frame, from M1 to D1, in the form of red and green histograms. This indicator is called Strength Candles, and for each time frame it shows the ratio between buyers and sellers in a range from 0 to 100%. It can be used primarily to determine the strength of the current trend.

The Strength Candles show the total balance between the buying and selling forces in percentage terms. This strength indicator does not use typical indicators such as RSI or moving averages, therefore the information is provided without any delay.

It is not an indicator that provides entry and exit signals like others. Its function is simply to inform about the balance between the forces in the market for different time frames.

Fractal Adaptive Moving Average (FRAMA)

The Fractal Adaptive Moving Average (FRAMA) is an adaptive and intelligent moving average developed by John Ehlers. It takes into account and gives higher priority precisely to price changes and closely follows the price when it shows significant movements, while in range markets it remains flat without presenting major changes. It uses the fractal dimension of market prices to dynamically adjust its smoothing period. 

FRAMA takes advantage of the fact that markets are fractals and dynamically adjusts the look-back period based on this fractal geometry. The actual calculation of this moving average is very elaborate and complicated. FRAMA is often used in combination with other signals and analysis techniques.
