On Balance Volume Deviation

12 ส.ค. 2022

The objective of this indicator is to be a leading indicator that can detect a large price change before it happens. It is based on the On Balance Volume (OBV) indicator, which is a leading indicator based on the premise that a large change in volume often precedes a large price change. This indicator charts the N-Period deviation of the OBV data and displays it as a histogram. This is overlayed on an area chart of the M-Period SMA of the histogram data. This combination helps to visually enhance the pattern that signifies that a jump in price is about to happen.

Useage:

• When the histogram bars are above the area plot, then a jump in price is about to happen
  
• As with all leading indicators, there are a lot of false signals. Confirm with price action or another indicator
  
• The further the histogram bars are above the area plot, the larger the predicted jump in price
  
• It seems to work better on shorter intraday timeframes than on the longer timeframes
  
• At the close of a market session, it is a good indicator of how much the price will jump on the opening of the next market session.
