Volume and Flow Indicators

Browse all 3 parts in the Volume and Flow Indicators series and start from the section you need.

A/D Line — Read volume through where each bar closes

The A/D Line weights and accumulates volume by closing location. It helps reveal when price makes new highs without confirmation from buying and selling pressure.

Chaikin Oscillator — Measure acceleration in buying and selling pressure

The Chaikin Oscillator uses the gap between fast and slow EMAs of the A/D Line to show changes in the momentum of buying and selling pressure.

Klinger Volume Oscillator — Trust turns in volume pressure only within a trend

The Klinger Volume Oscillator compares shorter and longer-term volume pressure. Its complexity makes it better for confirming a trend than for trading isolated signals.
