OBV shows the cumulation of the volume bars. All the volume in a green bar gets added to the obv and all the volume in a red bar gets subtracted. At a higher timeframe this can be misleading, because it filters out a lot of volume. This indicator locks the obv at 5 minutes, giving more information about the total amount of added and subtracted volume.
