Description: This indicator calculates On-Balance Volume (OBV) based on the direction of a Simple Moving Average (SMA). Instead of using price movements, this OBV adds or subtracts volume depending on whether the SMA is rising or falling.
SMA-based OBV: When the SMA rises, the volume is added to the OBV. When the SMA falls, the volume is subtracted from the OBV. This allows traders to observe cumulative volume in relation to the wave patterns created by the SMA.
SMA Period: The period of the SMA can be customized, allowing traders to adjust it according to the wave size they want to observe.
While the cumulative volume indicator already exists, traders who analyze volume patterns can use this indicator to more easily conduct volume analysis across different wave sizes.
Inputs:
SMA Period: Defines the lookback period for calculating the Simple Moving Average (default is 25).
Ideal for:
Traders who want to analyze volume flow relative to moving average trends, rather than price movements. This can help identify underlying strength or weakness in market trends.
