Elder Ray (Bull/Bear Power)

MomentumOwn panel below

How far the bar's high and low reached away from a moving average, measured separately.

What it looks like

Drawn by running the real calculation over one sample series. Open a symbol and it is recalculated on that symbol's bars.

How to read it

High minus the average is bull power; low minus the average is bear power. Bull power above zero means buyers could push the price above the average that day.

Where it misleads

It depends heavily on the average's length — change the period and the story changes.

One tap to add

Open a symbol, tap the name in the indicator list and it is drawn straight away. You can stack several copies of the same indicator with different settings.

Recalculated per timeframe

Switch between minute, hourly, daily, weekly or monthly bars and it is recalculated on that timeframe. The maths runs over every bar loaded, so zooming never moves the line.

Use it as a search condition

Some indicators can also be used as an axis when searching for symbols — for example, keeping only symbols above a given reading, scanned every night.

Every indicator is an observation computed from past bars. It does not tell you future prices and it is not investment advice.
