OPEN-SOURCE SCRIPT

OBV High / LOW (On-Balance Volume )

Updated

This is a simple application of OBV indicator (On-Balance Volume ), to visually determine when a given stock current obv is near the highest or lowest based on the number of lookback bars.

Indicator examples:

### OBV value is near an all-time high ##

breakthrough, stock value could set new all-time highs.
rejection, stock value could come down or consolidate.

Example

Inputs

OBV High Lookback -> numbers of bars to look back for the obv high.
OBV LowLookback -> numbers of bars to look back for the obv low.
OBV EMA Length -> Ema length

Notes:

This script also comes with an ema indicator based on obv for smoothing the obv signal since it gets noise at lower timeframes (by default comes disabled)
