Accumulation/Distribution

The Accumulation/Distribution is a momentum indicator that associates changes in price and volume. The indicator is based on the premise that the more volume that accompanies a price move, the more significant the price move.

The Accumulation/Distribution is really a variation of the more popular On Balance Volume indicator. Both of these indicators attempt to confirm changes in prices by comparing the volume associated with prices.

When the Accumulation/Distribution moves up, it shows that the security is being accumulated, as most of the volume is associated with upward price movement. When the indicator moves down, it shows that the security is being distributed, as most of the volume is associated with downward price movement.

Divergences between the Accumulation/Distribution and the security's price imply a change is imminent. When a divergence does occur, prices usually change to confirm the Accumulation/Distribution. For example, if the indicator is moving up and the security's price is going down, prices will probably reverse.

Syntax:

Public Function AccumulationDistribution(ByVal HLOCV()() As Double) As Double

Example:

 

    Dim TA4Net As New TA4Net.CTAFunctions("YOUR-REGISTRATION-CODE")

    Dim Result() As Double

    Dim HLOCV(,) As Double

 

    ' loading values to array

    HLOCV = GetHLOCVValues()

    ' calculating Technical Analysis function

    Result = TA4Net.AccumulationDistribution(HLOCV)
