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.
On Balance Volume (OBV)
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
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.
OBV ShadowsOverlay shows difference between OBV and OBV's moving average as green and red dos above and below cendles.
Designed to fast divergence detection.
TFS: Volume Oscillator This is the second part of TFS trading strategy. The concept of this
indicator is similar to that of On-Balance Volume indicator (OBV). It
is calculated according to these rules:
If Close > Open, Volume is positive
If Close < Open, Volume is negative
If Close = Open, Volume is neutral
Then you take the 7-day MA of the results.
Indicator: CCI coded OBVOBV is colored green if CCI > threshold, red if CCI < threshold.
Both "threshold" and "CCI Length" can be customized using the options page.
Indicator also displays a 13EMA (length can be changed) over OBV.
Indicator: OBV OscillatorEveryone uses OBV, right? This indicator makes it easy to read it by building an oscillator out of it.
Also, now look for OBV divergences easily :)
Appreciate any comments / thoughts.
