Is Cumulative Delta similar to OBV?

    I guess they are more or less similar in 5 min or higher TF charts. Am I correct? Can anyone post a quick comparison screenshot for me? I am interested in divergence between price and cumulative delta. Since Thinkorswim doesn't support cumulative delta, I am considering using OBV instead.
    Thanks!

    As far as I know, TDA's data feed has limited tick data and therefore cannot accurately represent cumulative delta volume information.......

  4. Yep. A bit smoother. Here's TT CVD and OBV on one chart.

    Thank you again for the screenshot. When I applied 3 period of EMA to OBV for smoothing, it looks better....
