- If the Subtracted value is negative then the green bar will be formed below the ‘0’ level. the substrated value will determined bar height below the ‘zero’ line.
- In a simple word, If candle high point is above the EMA line then bull power( Green bar) will be formed above the ‘0’ line. & when the candle high point is below the EMA line then the bull power candle (Green bar) will form below the zero line. the height of the bar depends on the distance of the high point from the EMA line.
How Bear power bar Formed:
- ERI indicator use 13 Period EMA.13 Period EMA will substrate from the current Period Low. If the value is positive then Red Bar will be formed above the ‘0’ level. The substrated value will determine Bar height.
- If the Subtracted value is negative then the Red bar will be formed below the ‘0’ level. the substrated value will determined bar height below the ‘zero’ line.
- In a simple word, If the candle Low point is above the EMA line then bear power ( Green bar) will be formed above the ‘0’ line. & when the candle Low point is below the EMA line then the bear power candle ( Green bar) will form below the ‘zero’ line. the height of the bear bar depends on the distance of the low point from the EMA line.
