Accumulation/Distribution Forex Indicator Technical Analysis Buy & Sell FX Signals
Developed by Marc Chaikin
Accumulation/Distribution indicator is used to assess the cumulative flow of money into and out of a Forex instrument.
The basic principle behind Accumulation/Distribution is that volume (or money flow) is a leading indicator of the forex price. (Volume precedes forex price).
Interpretation of Accumulation/Distribution MT4 Indicator
Accumulation/Distribution volume indicator is used to determine if volume is increasing or decreasing as the forex price is rising or falling.
Upward Forex Trading Trend
If the forex price is rising then the Accumulation/Distribution indicator should also be rising. This shows that the forex price move is being supported by volumes and the forex price move upwards has strength and is sustainable.
If on the other hand forex price is moving up and the Accumulation/Distribution volumes are not - the strength behind the upward forex price move is reducing; and this creates a divergence between forex price and Accumulation/Distribution indicator & warns of a possible forex trend reversal in opposite direction.
Downwards Forex Trend
If the forex price is falling then the Accumulation/Distribution indicator should also be falling. This shows that the forex price move is being supported by Accumulation/Distribution volumes and the forex price move downwards has strength behind it.
If on the other hand forex price is moving down and the Accumulation/Distribution volumes are not - the strength behind the move is reducing; and this creates a divergence between forex price and Accumulation/Distribution indicator & warns of a possible forex trend reversal in opposite direction.
