Updated OBV TSI Indicator

The OBV TSI Indicator combines two powerful technical analysis tools: the On-Balance Volume (OBV) and the True Strength Index (TSI). This hybrid approach provides insights into both volume dynamics and momentum, helping traders identify potential trend reversals, breakouts, or continuations with greater accuracy.
The OBV TSI Indicator tracks cumulative volume shifts via OBV and integrates the TSI for momentum analysis. It offers customizable moving average options for further smoothing. Visual trendlines, pivot points, and signal markers enhance clarity.
The OBV tracks volume flow by summing volumes based on price changes. Positive volume is added when prices rise, and negative volume is subtracted when prices fall. The result is smoothed to detect meaningful trends in volume. A volume spread is derived from the difference between the smoothed OBV and cumulative volume. This is then adjusted by the price deviation to generate the shadow spread, which highlights critical volume-driven price levels.
The shadow spread is added to either the high or low price, depending on its sign, producing a refined OBV output. This serves as the main source for the subsequent TSI calculation. The TSI is a momentum oscillator calculated using double-smoothed price changes. It provides an accurate measure of trend strength and direction.
Various moving average options, such as EMA, DEMA, or TEMA, are applied to the smoothed OBV for additional trend filtering. Users can select their preferred type and length to suit their trading strategy. Trendlines are plotted to visualize the overall direction. When a significant change in trend is detected, up or down arrows indicate potential buy or sell signals. The script identifies key pivot points based on the highest and lowest levels within a defined period. These pivots help pinpoint reversal zones.
The indicator offers customization options, allowing users to adjust the OBV length for smoothing, choose from various moving average types, and fine-tune the short, long, and signal periods for TSI. Additionally, users can toggle visibility for trendlines, signals, and pivots to suit their preferences.
This indicator is ideal for practical use cases such as spotting potential trend reversals by observing TSI crossovers and pivot levels, anticipating breakouts from key price levels using the shadow spread, and validating trends by aligning TSI signals with OBV and moving averages.
The OBV TSI Indicator is a versatile tool designed to enhance decision-making in trading by combining volume and momentum analysis. Its flexibility and visual aids make it suitable for traders of all experience levels. By leveraging its insights, you can confidently navigate market trends and improve your trading outcomes.
