Formula

Price Volume Trend is computed from price, volume, breadth, or macro prints depending on class (Volume). See the description for the defining inputs.

How to read

Read Price Volume Trend as a labeling tool: it describes a condition (trend, stretch, participation, or macro). Confirm with price structure, not the indicator alone. This entry is a study card — not every encyclopedia model has a live chart overlay.

Limitations

Price Volume Trend can lag, repaint (some drawings), or stay extreme in trends. It is not financial advice and not a broker signal.

Typical settings

Use the author's original defaults first; change one parameter at a time.

Price Volume Trend is part of the ClearPath Encyclopedia of Indicators — 190 models explained with standard SVG illustrations, so you can study an indicator before you put it on a live chart.
