On Balance Volume % scan

 

The On Balance Volume % scan will search all securities for the following:-

 

             OBV% line crosses above x value

             OBV% line crosses below x value

             OBV% line Turns Up below x value

             OBV% line Turns Down above x value

The OBV% line itself can have its Period value adjusted.

This scan would search for securities where the 10 period OBV% line had crossed above a value of 0.  The scan would be applied to a daily chart.

The scan will pick up this point, where the OBV% line crosses from below the 0 value line, to above the 0  value line

Period: Sets the time periods that are used in calculating the On Balance Volume %. 

Value:   Sets the value used to determine at which point the OBV% should cross for it to be confirmed as a positive result.

Type

• Crosses Above Value: When selected, the scan will search for securities where the OBV% crosses above the user defined value.

Crosses Below Value: When selected, the scan will search for securities where the OBV% crosses below the user defined value.

MFI line Turns Up below x value: When selected, the scan will search for securities where the OBV% line turns from a downward movement, to an upward movement.  This turn must occur below the user defined value.

MFI line Turns Down above x value: When selected, the scan will search for securities where the OBV% line turns from an upward movement, to a downward movement.  This turn must occur above the user defined value.
