Accumulation/Distribution (AD)

[grav_rat]

[align=left]I use AD in XTrader and would like to use it in NT6 and it would probably be a nice addition to the available indicators.Just a thought but I can't code it.[/align]

[align=left]Accumulation/Distribution (AD)[/align]
[align=left]The Accumulation/Distribution (AD) study attempts to quantify the amount of[/align]
[align=left]volume flowing into or out of an instrument by identifying the position of the[/align]
[align=left]close of the period in relation to that period’s high/low range. The volume for the[/align]
[align=left]period is then allocated accordingly to a running continuous total.[/align]
[align=left]Formula[/align]
AD = cumulative ((((Close – Low) – (High – Close)) / (High – Low)) * Volume))

putting an MA on the AD indicator

Using the ADL indicator, I would like to put a 20 SMA on the ADL line. I tryed to do it but the SMA is allways referring to price and not to the ADL.
Isn't there a way to manage it?

asja.aa, NinjaTrader 7 will allow this type of behavior. You can "nest" as many indicators as you'd like into one final indicator. Unfortunately NinjaTrader 6.5 doesn't include this feature.

Another option would be to custom program this. To get a SMA of an ADL, you could do something like this:

double value = SMA(ADL(), 20)[0];
