ایده به زبان ساده

The idea is that volume moves before price: big players buying quietly push volume up on up days before the price takes off. OBV keeps a running score.

روش محاسبه

If the close is higher than yesterday's, add today's volume; if lower, subtract it.

OBV = previous OBV + volume   (close up)
OBV = previous OBV − volume   (close down)
OBV unchanged when the close is unchanged

نحوه استفاده

OBV rising with the price: the trend is supported.
OBV breaking out before the price: a possible early sign of a price breakout.

نتیجه‌گیری

Look at OBV's trend and divergences, not its value.

مثال

An index is flat for a month while OBV keeps rising; the index then breaks out to the upside.

مراقب این‌ها باشید

On currencies, metals and CFDs there is no central exchange volume. The chart uses "tick volume", the number of price changes in each candle, which follows real activity closely but is not the number of contracts traded.

کمی تاریخچه

Joe Granville popularised OBV in his 1963 book "Granville's New Key to Stock Market Profits".
