        @magwal76 said in Elders Force Index:

        Elders Force Index

        I found this definition on tradingview.

        (CurrentPeriodClose - PreviousPeriod Close) X Volume
        

        So the indicator could be created in __init__:

        self.elder = (self.datas[0].close(0)- self.datas[0].close(-1)) * self.datas[0].volume(0)

          @run-out thx!
          This works fine!

          self.efi = bt.indicators.ExponentialMovingAverage(self.datas[0].volume(0)*(self.datas[0].close(0)-self.datas[0].close(-1)), period=self.params.period, subplot=True, plotname='EFI')
