Accumulation/Distribution Oscillator (ADO)
What is the ADO?
The formula shown is:
Step 1 — Calculate AD per bar:
AD = [(Close – Open) / (High – Low)] × Volume
Step 2 — Sum 20 bars:
ADO = Σ AD (over 20 periods)
This measures whether money is flowing into (accumulation) or out of (distribution) an asset over a 20-bar rolling window, weighted by volume.
