I am so glad I found this. So confused with OBV by reading it in google since some of the English words are so hard to understand since I'm Asian. But you explained it briefly and it's easy to understand. Thanks for this Dar!
Granville's book is necessary reading to fully grasp this, even though his music examples early in the book show he has little to no formal training in music, don't let that dissuade you. It's also worth mentioning that he doesn't think adding an SMA line to the OBV indicator is of any value, simply because, in his words, "it takes too long to set up." Which, in 1962, definitely would have taken a long time, but we have computers now, and the ability to progress much farther beyond his 60 year old theory. If you've got an SMA/AOBV line set to a period of 30-40, when it goes horizontal and bottoms out after a downtrend, and the OBV line crosses up and over the AOBV line, this uptrend on the AOBV line tends to precede price movements by days, if not weeks, and it is INVALUABLE for determining when to buy. The opposite is the case for when to sell. Best indicator hands down.
Darwinx, a leading edge OBV presentation. Ty for sharing your trading expertise with traders across the world on RUclips Perhaps though for stocks and volume, first read, imo, trader/author Tim Ord's book and rules for volume around pivots. Volume is energy force applied to move stocks. After I grasped this bedrock rule of stock movement, OBV and Volume Profile all made more sense when seen as energy supply demand forces. Tim Ord's breakthrough on volume pivot rule analysis can also dovetail in as well with your OBV divergences. Pacifico beer cheers!!! The truth can set us all free on the market level as well as higher ethereal planes.
Darwinex- you are one of the best trading teachers/ instructors i have listened to, thank you for your expertese and am subscribed and will be watching more of your videos
Great. So, this is directly leading to the next questions: 1- Method used to compare OBV and Price: 1a- comparing slopes (Linear Regression Slope) between two major Higher Lows 1b- Would you normalise or rescale these slopes to make them comparable 1c- else ? 2-The trigger for opening the trade: 2a- break of the last Higher Low to enter short 2b- indicator based entry RSI, MA cross, Channel break Would be happy to have your hints :-)
Hi Tony - Great to see someone who works through things the same way I do :) So ideas for you to try: 1. Method - You don't need to use linear regression. If you know what the major high / lows are then just use those 2 points and calculate the gradient. Much quicker from a performant algo point of view. Yes, some form of normalisation will be required, so that you know how severe a slope is compared with the norm. 2. Trigger - Well there are MANY options here. This is one of those where I'd say try different approaches. But the two worth focussing most effort on imo are using a threshold divergence level. If it's exceeded then go. Another is to use an alternative indicator for the trigger as you suggest. My view is that leading oscillators are usually best in these circumstances. Keep watching! Many Thanks
3:31 not "Weakening significantly" but it means that was weaker in past and it does not necessarily means that weakening will be present in future. We can only assume that and time will tell if that assumption was correct.
Hello I'm fairly new and been seeing that meme stocks such as $AMC and $GME have been fairly high in OBV and not following the chart at all when the stock falls in price. what does that mean?
OMG will people use stocks for once as examples? I'm so tired of seeing forex examples that everyone seems to be using. Every effing RUclips video keeps using forex. What about regular stocks like mid float to large...AMD, NVDA, AAPL, MSFT? Sorry I'm getting fruistrated with forex examples. I feel like someone needs to say it. *Sigh* ...sorry just having a rough day.

This gentleman is so clear and understandable with his explanation that he could instruct someone on how to split an atom. Thank you, sir.
Flawless explanation, easy to understand , no noise and nonsense as many other chanels have , Appreciate your work. Thank you.
I am so glad I found this. So confused with OBV by reading it in google since some of the English words are so hard to understand since I'm Asian. But you explained it briefly and it's easy to understand. Thanks for this Dar!
This video DOES worth more than it looks and only few may know that .
Great thank you Martyn for this brilliant explanation.
I'm also so glad to have found this channel. You have such a nice way of explaining things.

Great explanation. easy to understand and to the point. thank you.
Great teacher❤️
Very informative video. Thank you!
thank you great explanation
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much ! 😄👍
Thank you so much bro for this awesome video.
No problem 👍
I just Subscribed. Thank you
Which is the stronger signal? The hidden or the regular divergence? Because both are often present together.
Outstanding!
Sir it's great explanation, can we identify temporary pull back in OBV and shall we call as a trap?
Kindly clarify
well explained thank you so much sir .........
Hello I'm fairly new and been seeing that meme stocks such as $AMC and $GME have been fairly high in OBV and not following the chart at all when the stock falls in price. what does that mean?
does this work for BTC ?
where can I get the BTC aggregate volume from all the exchanges?
Thank you
But the obv couldn’t go any higher cos it was already at such a high level… doesn’t say anything about trend strength
Like McDonalds would say: "Im loving it"
:)
any good as day stock trader?
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN PRICE ACTION GOES DOWN BUT OBV GOES UP?
@SAJ KAZ Can that range, be interpreted as reaccumulation?
Woh
