Bar Force is a bar strength analysis indicator designed to help traders quickly identify moments of volatility expansion and market momentum.

The indicator automatically classifies each bar based on its relative strength compared to previous bars, displaying a numerical value directly on the chart. This makes it easy to spot weak, average, or extremely strong candles within the recent market context.

The Full Version provides complete control over the analysis parameters, allowing traders to adapt the indicator to different markets, timeframes, and trading styles.

Key Features

✔ Based on recent market volatility
✔ Direct chart display for quick visual analysis

good enough to keep watching for another week. Demo first makes more sense.

The useful bit is weak ideas are easier to skip. Manual context is still required.
