How to Generate Buy & Sell Signals
Buy Trading Signal
When the (BOP) crosses above zero mark a buy signal is given.
Also when the Balance of Power(BOP) is rising, the market is in an upwards trend, some traders use this as a buy trade signal but it's best to wait for the confirmation by trading indicator moving above the zero mark. As this will be a buy signal in bearish territory and this type of signal is more likely to be a whipsaw fakeout.
Sell Trading Signal
When (BOP) crosses below zero mark a sell signal is given.
Also when the Balance of Power is declining, the market is in a downwards trend, some traders use this as a sell signal but it is best to wait for a confirmation by moving below zero mark because this will be a sell signal in bullish territory and this type of signal is more likely to be a fake out.

Divergence Forex
In trading, divergences between the Balance of Power & price can be used to effectively spotting potential reversal and/or trend continuation points in currency movement. There are different types of divergences:
Classic Divergence Setup - Trend reversal setup
Hidden Divergence Setup - Trend continuation
Forex Overbought-Oversold Conditions
This BOP can be used to identify potentially overbought & over-sold conditions in price movement.
- Overbought Over-sold levels can be used to provide an early signal for potential trend reversals.
- These levels are generated when indicator clusters its tops & bottoms thus setting up the overbought and over-sold levels around those values.
However, price might also stay at these overbought and oversold levels & continue heading in that particular direction for a while and thus its always good to wait until the Balance of Power crosses over the Zero mark.
From the example below, even though the (BOP) showed the price was oversold, price continued moving downwards until the trading indicator crossed over to above Zero.
