Trading Strategy Using 4 Time Frame OBV 2 Indicator

  • At least two timeframes turn bearish (conservative exit), or
  • The current timeframe flips direction (aggressive exit)

Sell Setup (Bearish Alignment)

• All four timeframes show red (bearish) signals
• Enter a sell trade
• Place stop loss above the previous swing high
• Exit using the same logic as the buy setup

Who Should Use This Indicator?

This indicator is ideal for:

• Scalpers: Stay aligned with higher timeframe trends
• Intraday traders: Improve trade timing and direction
• Swing traders: Confirm broader market bias
• Long-term traders: Filter out noise and false signals
