To use the Accumulation Distribution Line (ADL) indicator, follow these steps:
- Calculate the ADL by using the formula: ADL = Previous ADL + (Current Money Flow Volume)
- Determine the Money Flow Volume by multiplying the Money Flow Multiplier by the Period's Volume. The Money Flow Multiplier is calculated as: [(Close - Low) - (High - Close)] / (High - Low). A positive Money Flow Volume indicates accumulation, while a negative one indicates distribution.
- Plot the ADL on a chart along with the security's price. Typically, the ADL is plotted as a line graph below the price chart.
- Analyze the ADL line for divergence from the price chart. Divergence between the ADL and price movements can indicate potential reversals or continuation of a trend.
- Use the ADL indicator in conjunction with other technical analysis tools to confirm signals and make trading decisions. Consider using moving averages or trendlines to enhance your analysis.
- Remember that the ADL is a cumulative indicator, meaning it reflects the total amount of money flowing in or out of a security over time. It can be used to confirm trends, identify potential areas of support or resistance, and anticipate price movements.
