Overview

Elder Force Index then plots the difference between efi and its 9-period SMA as colored column bars in a separate pane, with positive values colored up and negative down. The length setting controls the EMA period while up and down colors customize the appearance. This provides volume momentum insights on the price chart but offers no buy or sell signals or exit rules.
