Let's see if we're on the same wavelength re: mass index (it wasn't what I expected either--the old TA 'misnomer' strikes again).
What I expected:
The driving "force" behind price movement is the volume (or a volume-driven measurement of supply-demand forces like an accumulation/distribution or money flow indicator).
The "acceleration" would be the second derivative of some price measure, e.g. ROC(ROC(close)) where ROC is rate of change.

m=F/a (the numerator and denominator would both likely need to be smoothed somehow, and the ratio would need to be scaled or normalized, but this is along the lines of what I was expecting the Mass Index to be. And yourself?
