For the Buying Pressure (BP):
Green candle = body of the candle + lower wick of the candle
Red candle = just the lower wick of the candle

For the Selling Pressure (SP):
Green candle = just the upper wick of the candle
red candle = upper wick of the candle + body of the candle

Before, I had this idiotic idea of taking away the wicks to make the indicator focused on just body candles, but since bullish and bearish candles alternate randomly, it's the wrong thing to do. Especially when I averaged them to output with ema.

Here's the difference between the two:

BSP on the top sub-window considers wicks into the equation, while BSP on the bottom sub-window does not.

Taking this into consideration, you can see the wicks make the signal go faster. I was really silly to eliminate wicks from the code. For BSP, the wicks are an important piece of data.

Finally, about your question of tracking: Tracking means the horizontal line with which we can relate current values to history levels.

Did this version, not sure about the tracking though being we are using separate buy and sell periods.
