In a simple word, the Mainly Accumulation/Distribution indicator helps you to know the demand and supply of shares.
We all know if demand created price will automatically grow. And if supply increase too much than demand then price will decrease.
A similar thing happened to the stock market, when more buyers want the buy stock and compare it to the seller then share price automatically increases. And when more seller wants to sell stock compare to buyers then share price automatically decrease.
Accumulation/Distribution indicator Setting
Go to indicator search section> search for Accumulation/Distribution
let’s discuss options:
Volume: if you check this volume option then A/D line will include volume in A/D line. Means
When share price and Volume Increasing too much then A/D line will increase too much.
When share price increasing and volume not Increasing then A/D line will not increase too much.
When share price increasing and volume decreasing then A/D line will may not increase that much.
If volume Increasing and share price flat then this indicator will increase a little bit. just because of volume Increasing.
If the volume decreasing and share price flat then this Indicator line can decrease a little bit. Just because of volume decreases.
Result: this is the color setting of the A/D indicator line. by default it’s black.
