TL;DR:

The Accumulation Distribution study evaluates the cumulative money-volume flow of a security.

What Is the Accumulation Distribution (A/D) Study?

The A/D line is a study that evaluates the money-volume flow. The A/D indicator is cumulative, meaning one period’s value is added or subtracted from the last. The A/D line gauges supply and demand of a security by looking at where the price closed within the period’s range and then multiplying that by volume. 

You can learn more about the implementation of the Accumulation Distribution strategy on its corresponding blog post.

Accumulation Distribution is just one of many studies that can be automated by Archaide. For a full list of strategies and studies available click here.
