The On-Balance Volume (OBV) is like a trusted old tool in a trader's kit. It helps you see the hidden story behind price moves by paying attention to trading volume. The core idea is simple but powerful: big moves in volume often happen before big moves in price. By watching this relationship, you can get clues about where the market might be headed next. To effectively implement this on your charts, a solid understanding of your platform's features, such as Mastering TradingView Chart Settings: Your Ultimate Guide, is essential.

No matter how you trade—scalping, swing trading, or investing—a layout built for your style is a key ingredient for staying sharp and consistent.

Want to know how Paul Tudor Jones turned a $1 million account into $7.5 billion? The secret isn't some complicated algorithm or insider information. It's a dead-simple three-step process that anyone can learn: spot big macro trends, time entries with precision, and never risk more than 1% per trade.

Here's exactly how he does it, broken down into actionable steps you can start using today.
