Bulls Power is used to measure power of the Bulls (Buyers). Bulls Power measures the balance of power between the bulls & bears.

Calculation
A Currency Price bar has four parameters: the Opening, Closing, High and Low of the price bar.
Every Price bar either closes higher or lower than previous bar.
Highest price will show the maximum power of the Bulls within a price period.
The lowest price will show the maximum power of the Bears within a price period.
This Indicator uses the High of the price and a MA (Exponential Moving Average)
The moving Average represents the middle ground between sellers & buyers for a certain price period.
Therefore:
Bulls Power = High Price - Exponential MA
