Lancelot ATR Volume Meter

٧ سبتمبر ٢٠١٩

This is an experiment I did a while back ago.

I often think On Balance Volume is a great indicator as trend direction and volume cannot lie.

However, I bumped into a few problems.

It is slow, doesn't show volatility and often time it is prone to chop.

That's why I added ATR to the equation.

Original OBV calculation
src > 0? : +volume : src < 0? -volume

Modified OBV with ATR
src > 0 ? +volume * (volume / atr) : src < 0? -volume * (volume / atr)

I have used 2 ema for this modified OBV.
ema 3
ema 18

By adding ATR to the equation we can smooth out many erratic price movement. (Stop hunting)

Also, when price move slowly but steady, often prepping for a big move, this indicator will move faster.

In short, this indicator prevents you from being stop hunted and also provide great entry for a trending market.

Works well on BTCUSD XBTUSD, as well as other major liquid Pair.
