SC MTF Balance of Power MT5

What is BOP?

Balance of Power (BOP) is an oscillator that measures the strength of buyers versus sellers by comparing the change in price to the range of the bar. The indicator is calculated as (Close - Open) / (High - Low), then smoothed with a Simple Moving Average (SMA).

BOP values range between -1 and +1. Positive values indicate buyers are stronger (close is higher than open), negative values indicate sellers are stronger (close is lower than open). The magnitude of the value shows the strength of the movement. BOP helps identify market strength and potential reversals by showing the balance between buying and selling pressure.
