BII captures buy and sell signals by examining the relationship between trading volume and price fluctuations. Below is an explanation of the key components and calculation method for BII:

○ BII Formula:

• C (Close): Closing price
  
• L (Low): Lowest price
  
• H (High): Highest price
  

○ Meaning of the Indicator:

• Positive Values: When BII is positive, it indicates strong buying pressure. The closer the closing price is to the high, the stronger the buying pressure.
  
• Negative Values: When BII is negative, it indicates strong selling pressure. The closer the closing price is to the low, the stronger the selling pressure.
  

○ How to Use:

• Buy Signal: When the BII value is positive and trending upwards, it may be considered a buying opportunity.
  
• Sell Signal: When the BII value is negative and trending downwards, it may be considered a selling opportunity.
