Total Power Indicator is a technical analysis tool based on the bull power and bear power indicators, which can be downloaded here: Bull and Bear Power.
The indicator measures the number of bullish and bearish trend bars for a specific lookback period. It then calculates the proportion of bears and bulls within this period. Finally, it calculates the total power, which is the difference between bulls and bears.
There are several ways to trade using this indicator:
1: Enter long when total power and bull power lines are equal to 100. Enter short when total power and bear power lines are equal to 100.
2: Buy when the bull power line crosses above the bear power line. Short when the bear power line crosses above the bull power line.
3: Buy when both the bulls and total power lines cross above the bears line. Enter short when both the bears and total power lines cross above the bull line.
How to use the total power indicator: (Right click on a chart then click "Edit Formula")
a = totalpower(30);
By typing the above line, the chart will display three lines:
Proportion of Bulls: Red
Proportion of Bears: Green
Total Power: Blue
(30 is the number of bars to use during the calculation - Lookback period)
Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
