How Bulls Power is calculated
EMA[i] = close[i] × 2 ÷ (N + 1) + EMA[i − 1] × [1 − 2 ÷ (N + 1)]
Bulls Power[i] = high[i] − EMA[i]
Version 1.0.0 follows the published MetaQuotes first-close EMA seed and smoothing factor. The EMA is based on entered close prices, while the current high supplies the reported difference.
The first reportable value begins at zero-based index N, matching the published source calculation start. A period of N therefore requires N plus one completed bars.
Assumptions and limits
- At least period plus one ordered high-low-close bars are required.
- Rows must be oldest to newest and use one symbol, timeframe and feed.
- The entered history and starting point affect the EMA and may differ from a platform buffer.
- Positive and negative values are displayed neutrally without a zero-line interpretation.
- The page emits no strength, trend, reversal, divergence, entry or exit label.

How to interpret the result
The positive value is the latest entered high minus the declared EMA. It depends on the first-close seed and the full entered history. The page does not convert it into buying pressure, trend strength or a trade signal.
Frequently asked questions
- Enter an EMA period and at least period plus one ordered high-low-close bars from one symbol, timeframe and feed.
- The first-value-seeded exponential moving average of entered closes is subtracted from the current entered high.
- The first entered close seeds the EMA, followed by smoothing factor two divided by period plus one.
- The published source begins its reported Power calculation at zero-based index N, so period N requires N plus one entered bars.
- The EMA uses entered closes, while the final Bulls Power subtraction uses the current entered high.
- Not necessarily. Feed history, the entered starting point, symbol and timeframe can change the EMA buffer.
- No. The page reports signed arithmetic without a buyer-strength, trend, reversal or trade classification.
- Both use the same close EMA; Bulls subtracts it from high, while Bears subtracts it from low.
