The Accumulation/Distribution (A/D) line uses cumulative volume and price changes to measure whether money is actively flowing into or out of an asset. It adds a portion of total volume to a running total based on where the close sits within the daily high-low range.
Traders look at A/D to spot divergences: if price makes a new high while A/D drops, buying pressure may be fading, flagging a potential false breakout. This helps filter out weak moves, protecting your daily loss limits and consistency targets during evaluations.
