the total power indicator works similarly to other oscillator-type indicators:
one of the most surefire entry method, albeit rare, is to wait for either bull or bear line to reach the value of 100 and enter a reversal trade.
the crossover of the bear and bull lines can also be used to enter trades. if the bull line resulted above — go long, if the bear line is now above — go short.
the crossover of the bull or bear line with the total line can be used for a conservative exit from a trade.
