The bars
Bull and bear power
The average is rising: the trend is up, with no dip to buy on the last bar.
- The last bar
- Bull power +40.78 (was +40.29), bear power +16.58 (was +20.09), against a 13-bar average of 2,357.92 that is rising.
- How it is read
- Bull power is how far buyers pushed the high above the average; bear power is how far sellers pushed the low below it. Alexander Elder traded only with the slope of the average and used the two powers to time entries.
- Read it with care
- A setup is a timing hint, not a reason on its own: the stop and the size still decide what one trade can cost.

An X-ray of the bar
Alexander Elder's Elder ray takes a 13-bar exponential average of the closes as the market's fair value. Bull power is the high minus that average, bear power is the low minus it. In an up trend he looked for bear power below zero but rising, a dip that is losing force; in a down trend for bull power above zero but falling.
