Hi Jim,..Re:.OBV, You probably already know this but below is a link to the formula and description of OBV along with Dell daily and weekly charts showing OBV. <g> mindspring.com Balance Volume On Balance Volume relates volume to price change. It is calculated by adding the day's volume to a cumulative total when the security's price closes up, and subtracting the day's volume when the security's price closes down. If today's close > yesterday's close, then OBV = yesterday's OBV + today's volume If today's close < yesterday's close, then OBV = yesterday's OBV - today's volume If today's close = yesterday's close, then OBV = yesterday's OBV On Balance Volume is a running total of volume. It seeks to show if volume is flowing into or out of a security. When the security closes higher than the previous close, all of the day's volume is considered up-volume. When the security closes lower than the previous close, all of the day's volume is considered down-volume. The following formula calculates the On Balance Volume indicator: (if(c > ref(c,-1),1,-1) * volume) + PREV. Note that the PREV constant represents the value of the indicator on the previous day. 204.71.198.40:443/945447612972?User=demo&Pswd=demo&DataType=GIF&Symbol=DELL&Interval=D&Ht=400&Wd=600&Display=0&Study=OBV&Param1=&Param2=&Param3=&FontSize=10 Dell daily with OBV 204.71.198.40:443/945447667961?User=demo&Pswd=demo&DataType=GIF&Symbol=DELL&Interval=W&Ht=400&Wd=600&Display=0&Study=OBV&Param1=&Param2=&Param3=&FontSize=10 Dell weekly with OBV Cheers, Lee
