Re: OBV (On Balance Volume)

ashetty033, Fri May 19, 2017 9:25 pm

Mark the Lowest Volume bar of the day in the time frame that you trade.
This point really gives good trending moves either way, sometimes both ways.
This is a very powerful point for trading.
The reason being that the Bulls and the Bears could not reach an agreement in price
and hence the abnormally low volumes. After this whichever side takes control it remains
with him for a good time (A good trend follows).

The LV(low volume) bar takes importance because very often a clear trend is established after this.
So we can trade this trending move. This concept can be used across all timeframes.

Here is the Amibroker code to mark the lowest value bar in the daily lookback period.
It paints the high and low pivots just preceeding the bar (the dotted green and the red lines) thus making it
more easy to visually make out the BO or BD from those levels.

from an Indian trading forum

Code: Select all

_SECTION_BEGIN("HiLo Vol N");

n=Day() != Ref(Day(), -1);

a=LowestSince(n,V);
hh=ValueWhen(V==a,H);
ll=ValueWhen(V==a,L);

Plot(hh,"\nLVhb",colorGreen,styleDashed);
Plot(ll,"\nLVlb",colorred,styleDashed);

_SECTION_END();
I request @mladen, @mrtools, @mntiwana to look at this request and
please check whether this can be coded for MT4.

Thanks,
