Indicator Description ​

ADOSC (Accumulation/Distribution Oscillator) is the oscillating version of the AD indicator, measuring the rate of change in money flow by calculating the difference between fast and slow moving averages.

Calculation Principle ​

ADOSC is calculated using the following formula:

ADOSC = FastMA(AD) - SlowMA(AD)

Where:

  • FastMA is the fast moving average (default 3 periods)
  • SlowMA is the slow moving average (default 10 periods)
  • AD is the Accumulation/Distribution indicator value

Usage Scenarios ​

  1. Money flow change analysis
  2. Trend strength judgment
  3. Divergence analysis
  4. Trading signal generation

Usage Recommendations ​

  1. ADOSC > 0 indicates increasing money inflow trend
  2. ADOSC < 0 indicates increasing money outflow trend
  3. Watch for ADOSC zero-line crossovers
  4. Use in conjunction with other indicators
