Accumulation/Distribution (A/D) Index

Category: volume

Calculates the cumulative flow of volume based on the location of the close price within the High-Low range. It determines if the market is being accumulated (bought) or distributed (sold).

Formula

AD = AD_{prev} + \frac{(Close - Low) - (High - Close)}{High - Low} \times Volume
