On Balance Volume +

2018년 11월 5일

This is the standard On Balance Volume indicator, with the addition of four things:

10-SMA
20-SMA
100-SMA
Bollinger Bands

I have found intriguing and surprising results with this indicator.

I often see OBV bouncing off of the Moving Average lines, much like support and resistance points.

More interesting is the fact that it "obeys" the bollinger bands. Often times, if OBV sneaks outside of the Bollinger Band, it will almost always correct and get back in the next day.


I would recommend that you find your own method, and PLEASE post in the comments as to how you use this, but I'll tell you
How I use this indicator:

I usually use this on the daily view. I tend to wait until OBV has moved above the red 20-Day SMA before considering an entry. Below that doesn't show enough positive volume for me to identify enough interest in the security. Once it breaks the red SMA, I'll look at other indicators for confirmation. If price is above the Bollinger Band up above, and my OBV is above Bollinger Band, I will not buy. Also, if MACD is dropping, or if the Stochastic RSI is pegged out in overbought land, I won't buy that either.

If, however, I'm seeing good stuff from Stochastic RSI, RSI, MACD, and price BB, then I'll take a long entry at that OBV + 20SMA crossover.
If I'm in a long position and I see a few signals like the OBV is above the BB, and price is above BB, and StochRSI or RSI are in/near overbought land, I'll often sell that day, expecting a pullback on price.

I really like this one, it's been quite helpful in my trading. This is my first venture into using Volume for trading, and it's been good so far.

Leave me a note in the comments to tell me how it goes and how you use this thing!
