Delta Force Index - DFI [TCMaster]
This indicator provides a proxy measurement of hidden buying and selling pressure inside each candle by combining tick volume with candle direction. It calculates a simulated delta volume (buy vs. sell imbalance), applies customizable scaling factors, and displays three components:
Delta Columns (green/red): Show estimated hidden buy or sell pressure per candle.
Delta Moving Average (orange line): Smooths delta values to highlight underlying momentum.
Cumulative Delta (blue line): Tracks the long-term accumulation of hidden order flow.
How to use:
Rising green columns with a positive Delta MA and upward Cumulative Delta suggest strong hidden buying pressure.
Falling red columns with a negative Delta MA and downward Cumulative Delta suggest strong hidden selling pressure.
Scaling parameters allow you to adjust the visual balance between columns and lines for different timeframes.
Note: This tool uses tick volume and candle direction as a proxy for order flow. It does not display actual bid/ask data or Level II market depth. For professional order flow analysis, footprint charts or DOM data are required.
