The bars
The balance of power
The 14-bar balance of power is +0.01. Buyers have had the upper hand, barely.
- The bars
- 7 of the last 14 bars closed above their open. The last bar closed 65% of its range below its open, a score of -0.65. The average was +0.04 a bar before.
- How it is read
- Each bar scores from -1, opened at the high and closed at the low, to +1, opened at the low and closed at the high. Above zero, buyers have been pushing the closes up from the opens; below zero, sellers have. Many traders watch the cross of zero.
- Read it with care
- It ignores gaps between bars and the size of each bar: a tiny bar can score +1. Markets that trade around the clock have opens that sit close to the previous close.

Simulated results are hypothetical and have limits: real trading has slippage, gaps, changing results and emotions. Trading leveraged products can lose money quickly, including all of it.

Who won the bar
Igor Livshin described the balance of power in 2001. It asks one question of every bar: how far did the close get from the open, measured against the bar's whole range? A bar that opens at its low and closes at its high is a clean win for buyers; the reverse is a clean win for sellers. Averaging the scores shows who has been winning.
