Accumulation & Distribution Flow (WAD+SMA)

hier

Accumulation & Distribution Flow (WAD+SMA) is a volume-free flow indicator
designed to visualize accumulation (buying pressure) and distribution
(selling pressure) using price action only.

This indicator is based on Williams Accumulation/Distribution (WAD),
combined with a Simple Moving Average (SMA) as a baseline.

When the flow line (WAD) is above the SMA, the market is considered to be
in an accumulation phase (buying in).
When the flow line is below the SMA, the market is considered to be
in a distribution phase (selling out).

Key Features:
• Clear visualization of accumulation vs distribution
• Color-coded flow line and fill for quick regime recognition
• Lightweight and responsive (no volume required)
• Suitable for trend continuation and pullback analysis
• Adjustable line width, dot size, and fill transparency

How to Use:
• Accumulation (WAD above SMA):
Look for long continuation, pullbacks, or trend-following entries.
• Distribution (WAD below SMA):
Watch for exits, short continuation, or risk-off conditions.
• Best used together with price structure and trend direction.

Notes:
• This indicator does NOT provide direct buy/sell signals.
• Always combine with risk management

Notes de version

Accumulation & Distribution Flow (WAD+SMA) is a price-based flow indicator
designed to visualize accumulation (buying pressure) and distribution
(selling pressure) without using volume.

This indicator is built on Williams Accumulation/Distribution (WAD),
combined with a Simple Moving Average (SMA) as a baseline.
By comparing the flow line to its baseline, traders can better understand
whether the market is being accumulated, distributed, or moving sideways.

Core Concept:
• When the flow line (WAD) is above the baseline (SMA),
the market is considered to be in an accumulation phase.
• When the flow line is below the baseline,
the market is considered to be in a distribution phase.
• When the baseline slope is near zero,
the market is considered sideways (range / non-trending).

Key Features:
• Clear visualization of accumulation vs distribution
• Baseline-based regime detection using WAD and SMA
• Sideways (range) detection based on baseline slope
• Sideways periods are highlighted using background shading
or optional vertical lines
• Clean and minimal design for long-session chart reading
• Volume-free (works on FX, indices, crypto, and CFDs)

How to Use:
• Accumulation phase:
Focus on trend continuation, pullbacks, and risk-on environments.
• Distribution phase:
Focus on exits, risk reduction, or short-side opportunities.
• Sideways phase:
Avoid trend-following strategies and reduce position size.
The indicator is intentionally designed to highlight
when NOT to trade aggressively.

Design Philosophy:
• This indicator does NOT provide direct buy or sell signals.
• No arrows are used to avoid noise in ranging markets.
• The goal is to improve context, not to replace decision-making.
• Best used together with price structure, support/resistance,
and higher-timeframe analysis.

Notes:
• This is an analytical tool, not a trading system.
• No future-looking or repainting logic is used.
• Always apply proper risk management.
• Not financial advice.

Ideal for:
Trend traders, swing traders, and discretionary traders
who want to understand market participation,
position building, and range conditions more clearly.
