There are a number of methods of using this very useful indicator. As shown above, divergence can be used, also as the OBI being a cumulative indicator, you can also look for higher highs and lower lows as confirmation of a trend. Finally, you can also watch for OBI movement occurring prior to the underlying market. Should this occur, this can be read as 'informed' money taking positions prior to the general public. |
