Frequently Asked Questions

ta.pvt is Price-Volume Trend: cumulative sum of volume multiplied by the proportional close change, weighting flow by how much price moved.

OBV adds or subtracts full volume by up/down close. PVT scales each bar contribution by the percent price change, so large moves contribute more than small ones.

Like OBV, if price trends but PVT fails to confirm, traders watch for weakening volume participation. Always validate with context and other tools.
