Inspired by the new version of the "Force Index" announced by Dr. Alexander Elder a few years ago - "Elder Force Index With ATR Channels".
Unfortunately original version of script only works on MetaTrader platforms, so this is an attempt to implement this great idea on TradingView too.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Here is original script explanation by Dr. Elder himself ------------------------------------------------------------------- Adding Average True Range (ATR) channels to Force Index had been suggested by Kerry Lovvorn. Adding these channels turns Force Index into an excellent tool for identifying intermediate tops and bottoms. Force Index with ATR channels does not catch all turns, but the ones it identifies deserve very serious attention.
Note: the word “true” in Average True Range refers to dealing with price gaps. Since there are no gaps in Force Index, here ATR is the same as the Average Range.
Whenever the Force Index rises above or falls below its 3-ATR channel, it signals that the ticker has reached an area of an unsustainable extreme. That’s where rallies and declines become exhausted and prices tend to reverse. This is one of very few tools that are equally efficient in calling both top and bottom areas.
In our experience, these signals work especially well on the weekly charts. Of course, users are welcome to experiment with them in any timeframe.
One possible option is to use the new Force Index with ATR Channels on your weekly charts and the original Force Index on your daily chart. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- The Force Index is drawn in blue with a thick line. - The Averaged Force is a solid red line. - The upper and lower bands at 1 ATR are drawn in dotted lines. - The upper and lower bands at 2 ATR use dashed lines. - The upper and lower bands at 3 ATR are solid gray lines. - Red dots placed above the plot when the EMA of Force Index rises above the 3-ATR channel. - Green dots placed underneath the plot when that EMA declines below the 3-ATR channel.
***** Original script programmed to truncate values at the 4-ATR level to prevent any extreme value from flattening the rest of the plot - - I'm not yet implemented this feature here - hopefully coming soon.

@Dao_De_Trading, Hi, it's working. Maybe you simply have limited Tradingview plan with option of 2 visible concurrent indicators only, so try to remove all indicators from your graph and keep only 1 or 2 (including mine). You must to see the data.
