The bars
The volume
The volume agrees with the price: both point up.
- Over the last 10 bars
- The close moved +15.80 and the on-balance volume +6,640, out of 45,140 traded: a net 15% of the volume came on up bars.
- The running total
- -10,590 since the first bar. Only its direction matters; the level depends on where you start.
- Read it with care
- A divergence can last a long time before the price turns, or the price never turns. Tick volume from a broker is only a stand-in for real volume.

Education only, not investment advice. The answer comes from the numbers you typed in, not from your account or the market. Simulated results are hypothetical and have limits: real trading has slippage, gaps, changing results and emotions. Trading leveraged products can lose money quickly, including all of it.

Volume on the side of the move
Joe Granville's on-balance volume adds each bar's volume to a running total when the bar closes up and takes it away when it closes down. If the price climbs and the total climbs with it, buyers are doing the work; if the price climbs while the total falls, the rise rests on fewer trades.
It says nothing about how far a move will go. Weigh it with the money flow index and the VWAP calculator, and size the trade with the position size calculator.
Not advice. Arithmetic on the bars you type; volume describes the past bars, not the next one.
