OBV Accumulation/Distribution combinationOBV takes difference between old close and new close and multiplies by volume without considering high and low.
This assigns the entire volume into a single direction even tho movement could've been in both.
Accum/dist takes difference between close and high and low without considering previous close or open. This causes huge deviation from OBV when you have close or open far from high or low and price moving in the other direction like in a series of descending hammers.
This is attempt to combine both so relative motion between candles is detected and volume direction is assigned based relative to movement within a candle to account for volume in both directions.
+ and - depends if close is above previous close (+ if above, - if below)
Maximum upward volume counts if close = high and previous close = low, this makes multiplier 1 and thus entire volume is counted upwards
Maximum downward volume counts if close = low and previous close = high, this makes multiplier -1 and thus entire volume is counted downwards.
Zero volume movement occurs when close = previous close.
Half upward volume movement occurs if close-previous_close is half the range from high-low.
Breadth Indicators
Sessions on ChartThis script shows the London and NY Sessions on your chart. Decided to publish it on demand for user yuan642 :D. Maybe other users may find it helpful.
Looking back on charts it can help to spot certain moves or patterns around certain Session open when high volumes enter the markets.
Price/OBV divergenceShows agreement or disagreement between the direction of the the price and the on-balance volume. When they disagree, the price is supposed to follow the OBV (or so they say.)
On Balance Volume/PriceFirst, look at the chart, then read.
Use OBV/Price to see a price adjusted by 'On Balance Volume' - (OBV), a momentum indicator that measures positive and negative volume flow, was developed by Joseph Granville and introduced in 1963.
The indicator, together with trend lines, provides good entry/ exit points.
In the chart note the exit point before the crash.
Also, note the "wedge" - a bit lees optimistic that the 'price only' wedge for SPY.

Pip Foundry - Fx IDC OBVMy premium indicators are available for monthly lease at www.tradingview.com
I previously published a simple OBV that allowed you to manually apply a different security to the one you are charting as the volume plot. However, this script will automatically apply the correct volume data to whatever forex pair you are viewing without requiring a manual setting.
Pip Foundry - Simple OBVMy premium indicators are available for monthly lease at www.tradingview.com
On request from SunnyBTC for trading Forex pairs that do not themselves have any volume indication.
The concept: A simple OBV that will display the volume of a security other than what you are charting.
Edit: This script has been updated.
High-Low Index [LazyBear]-- Fixed ---
Source: pastebin.com
Fixes an issue with "Combined" mode, using wrong symbols.
--- Original ---
The High-Low Index is a breadth indicator based on Record High Percent, which is based on new 52-week highs and new 52-week lows.
Readings below 50 indicate that there were more new lows than new highs. Readings above 50 indicate that there were more new highs than new lows. 0 indicates there were zero new highs (0% new highs). 100 indicates there was at least 1 new high and no new lows (100% new highs). 50 indicates that new highs and new lows were equal (50% new highs).
Readings consistently above 70 usually coincide with a strong uptrend. Readings consistently below 30 usually coincide with a strong downtrend.

Volume Accumulation Percentage Indicator [LazyBear]Volume Accumulation Percentage Indicator (VAPI) is a variation of the classic volume-accumulation indicators. It uses volume the same way as OBV except that it assigns volume weights based on intraday volatility.
In a positive trend, if the stock price is close to a (local) new high, the VAPI should be at its maximum as well (and vice versa for a negative trend). If the market is looking for a direction, if the price is in the bottom side of his current trading range and if, at the same moment the VAPI osc slopes up, there is accumulation on the stock and that the prices should start to climb. The SELL signal is given when the VAPI decreases (distribution). Divergences are usually very effective too.
Tuning the "length" parameter may be needed for your instrument (default is 10), do let me know if you find a different value to be optimal for majority of instruments.

Fisher Transform of On Balance Volume (by ChartArt)A simple mash-up of the On Balance Volume (OBV) indicator with the Fisher Transform indicator (blue) with the classic Fisher Transform signal trigger (silver color), plus a linear regression as a second signal line (red).
I recommend to use a period for the linear regression which has the same speed or is slower than the period of the Fisher Transform to avoid overshooting.
P.S. Here are three areas where the indicator worked quite good on historic charts
McClellan Summation Index [LazyBear]McClellan Summation Index is a breadth indicator derived from McClellan Oscillator ().
The Summation Index is simply a running total of the McClellan Oscillator values. Even though it is called a Summation Index, the indicator is really an oscillator that fluctuates above/below zero. As such, signals can be derived from bullish/bearish divergences, directional movement and centerline crossovers. A moving average can also be applied to identify upturns and downturns.
Indicator uses the advancing/declining stocks from NYSE by default, but you can change them to any market in the options dialog.

VPT_OBVThis is a derivation of the On Balance Volume Indicator.
The idea behind it is that volume consists of two parts. The driving theory is the basic law of supply and demand.
Part 1: Volume consists of shares traded at an equilibrium price. An equal number of buyers and sellers are present during this volume. This area is displayed as the upper and lower shadows on a single candlestick. For this indicator, volume traded in equilibrium is not included in the display.
Part 2: Volume consists of shares that are not traded at an equilibrium price, driving price up or down for the time period. In this volume, buyers or sellers are not present in equal numbers. This area is displayed as the body of the candlestick. This indicator focuses on this part of volume.
VPT_OBV plots only the volume that occurs at the difference in price between the open and the close. To achieve this, volume is divided by the difference between the high and the low (in pennies). Next, the difference between the open and close is calculated (in pennies). Volume is then divided by the difference in the high and low, to get the amount of volume needed to move the asset up or down by $0.01 during the time period. This number is then multiplied by the difference between the open and close.
VPT_OBV plots the outcome as a cumulative total. A simple moving average of the VPT_OBV is thrown in to provide smoothing.
Trade Archer - On balance Volume Moving Averages - v1This indicator improves upon the normal OBV indicator by including Moving Averages of OBV. Additionally clouds have been created between the MAs if desired as well as a selection of MAs and the choice of MA lengths for personal preference. Lastly it can also plot the lowest and highest values of OBV for x bars back so one can clearly see the movement of volume increasing or decreasing. For timing both price and volume, it is good to use the same MA lengths and type for both price and volume. This helps keep timing in sync and show a strong correlation between price and volume. Volume from Market Makers are the catalysts that drive the price up and down. Patience and timing are crucial for joining the volume created by the Market Makers.
If you are new to charting and technical indicators, pick up my Trade Archer - Moving Averages - v1 script as well. The defaults for both scripts have the same moving average type and lengths so timing is the same between Price and OBV moving averages.
Cumulative Force, Weighted OBVCumulative Force Indicator. Can also be seen as an OBV indicator that takes the price differences into account. In a regular OBV, a high volume bar can make a huge difference, even if the price went up only 0.01, and it it goes down 0.01 instead, that volume makes the OBV go down big time, even though in both cases hardly anything really happened. cForce is a more realistic view on where the money is flowing.
This is my first published script, so feel free to let me know if you see room for improvements.
