威廉姆斯累积/派发指标 (Williams'A/D)

Williams' AD is the accumulated sum of positive "accumulational" and negative "distributional" price movements. For example, if the current closing price is higher than the previous one, W/AD increases by the difference between the current closing price and the true minimum. If the current closing price is lower than the previous one, W/AD decreases by the difference between the current closing price and the true maximum.

The term "accumulation" denotes a market controlled by purchasers and the term "distribution" means that sellers control the market.

Divergences between the indicator and the price are a signals. Like most indicators, W/AD leads the tool price. In other words, when a divergence appears, the price changes its direction according to the indicator.

If the price reaches a new maximum, but the accumulation/distribution indicator cannot reach a new maximum, it means that the security is distributing itself. It is a signal for sell.
If the price reaches a new minimum, but the accumulation/distribution indicator cannot reach a new minimum, it means that the security is accumulating. It is a signal for buy.

Calculations:

To calculate the accumulation/distribution indicator, first you have to find a "True Range High" (TRH) and "True Range Low" (TRL):

TRH (i) = MAX (HIGH (i) || CLOSE (i - 1))

TRL (i) = MIN (LOW (i) || CLOSE (i - 1))

Then you must find the current value of accumulation/distribution (CurA/D) by comparing today and yesterday's closing prices.

If the current closing price is higher than the previous one, then:
```
CurA/D = CLOSE (i) - TRL (i)
```
If the current closing price is lower than the previous one, then:
```
CurA/D = CLOSE (i) - TRH (i)
```
If current and previous closing prices coincide then:
```
CurA/D = 0
```

Williams' accumulation/distribution indicator is a growing sum of these values for each day:

WA/D (i) = CurA/D + WA/D (i - 1)

Where:
TRH (i) — the True Range High;
TRL (i) — the True Range Low;
MIN — the minimum value;
MAX — the maximum value;
|| — the logical OR;
LOW (i) — the minimum price of the current bar;
HIGH (i) — the maximum price of the current bar;
CLOSE (i) — the closing price of the current bar;
CLOSE (i - 1) — the closing price of the previous bar;
CurА/D — means current value of accumulation/distribution;
WА/D (i) — the current value of William's Accumulation/Distribution indicator;
WА/D (i - 1) — the value of William's Accumulation/Distribution indicator on the previous bar.
