# Volume
Volume indicators are based on trading volume and flow of funds.
> "It takes volume to make prices move." — Charles Dow
Volume is the fuel of the market. Price tells you *what* happened; volume tells you *how hard* the market worked to make it happen.
In a world of algorithmic trading and dark pools, volume analysis is the only way to see where the money is actually flowing. These indicators don't just track shares traded; they track conviction.
| Indicator | Full Name | Description |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| [ADL](adl/Adl.md) | Accumulation/Distribution Line | Uses volume and price to assess whether a stock is being accumulated or distributed |
| ADOSC | Chaikin A/D Oscillator | |
| [ADL](adl/Adl.md) | Accumulation/Distribution Line | The grandfather of volume flow. Correlates price location with volume to spot smart money. |
| [ADOSC](adosc/Adosc.md) | Chaikin A/D Oscillator | A momentum indicator for the AD Line. Predicts reversals by measuring the acceleration of money flow. |
| AOBV | Archer On-Balance Volume | |
| CMF | Chaikin Money Flow | |

# ADL - Accumulation/Distribution Line
# ADL: Accumulation/Distribution Line
The Accumulation/Distribution Line (ADL) measures the cumulative flow of money into and out of a security. It validates price trends by correlating volume with price close location within the high-low range.
> "Volume precedes price." — Old Wall Street Adage
## Architectural Design
The Accumulation/Distribution Line (ADL) is the bedrock of volume analysis. It attempts to answer a single, vital question: "Are the big players buying or selling?"
We implement ADL as a stateful, streaming accumulator that maintains O(1) complexity for each new data point. Unlike window-based indicators, ADL carries its entire history in a single double-precision state variable.
Unlike On-Balance Volume (OBV), which treats every up-day as 100% buying, ADL is nuanced. It looks at *where* the price closed within the day's range. A close near the high on massive volume screams "Accumulation." A close near the low on massive volume screams "Distribution."
### The "Close Location Value" (CLV)
## Historical Context
The core mechanic relies on the Money Flow Multiplier (MFM), also known as CLV. This value ranges from -1 to +1:
Developed by Marc Chaikin, the ADL was originally designed to spot divergences. Chaikin noticed that if a stock made a new high but the ADL failed to make a new high, a crash was imminent. He essentially quantified the "smart money" flow.
* **+1**: Close equals High (Maximum Accumulation)
* **-1**: Close equals Low (Maximum Distribution)
* **0**: Close is exactly between High and Low
## Architecture & Physics
This approach avoids the noise of simple price changes, focusing instead on *where* the price settles relative to its intraday range.
ADL is a cumulative indicator, meaning it has infinite memory. Today's value depends on the sum of all yesterdays.
$$MFM = \frac{(Close - Low) - (High - Close)}{High - Low}$$
The core mechanic is the **Money Flow Multiplier (MFM)**, also known as the Close Location Value (CLV). This value ranges from -1 to +1:
$$MFV = MFM \times Volume$$
- **+1**: Close = High (Maximum Accumulation)
- **-1**: Close = Low (Maximum Distribution)
- **0**: Close is exactly in the middle
$$ADL_{current} = ADL_{previous} + MFV$$
This multiplier is then applied to the volume to determine the "Money Flow Volume" for the period.
### Zero-Allocation Implementation
### Zero-Allocation Design
Our implementation processes updates without heap allocations. The state consists of a single `double _lastAdl`.
Our implementation is a stateful accumulator. It maintains a single `double` state variable representing the cumulative sum.
* **Complexity**: O(1) per update.
* **Memory**: 16 bytes (state) + object overhead.
* **NaN Handling**: If `High == Low`, MFM is 0 to avoid division by zero. If inputs are `NaN`, the last valid ADL value is preserved.
## Mathematical Foundation
## Usage
### 1. Money Flow Multiplier (MFM)
### Streaming API
$$
MFM = \frac{(Close - Low) - (High - Close)}{High - Low}
$$
The streaming API is designed for real-time event processing. It updates the state with each new bar and returns the latest value immediately.
### 2. Money Flow Volume (MFV)
```csharp
using QuanTAlib;
$$
MFV = MFM \times Volume
$$
// Initialize
var adl = new Adl();
### 3. Accumulation/Distribution Line (ADL)
// Update loop
foreach (var bar in feed)
{
var result = adl.Update(bar);
Console.WriteLine($"ADL: {result.Value:F2}");
}
```
$$
ADL_t = ADL_{t-1} + MFV_t
$$
### Batch Processing
## Performance Profile
For historical analysis, the static `Calculate` method processes full datasets using optimized loops.
ADL is extremely lightweight.
```csharp
var bars = GetHistory();
var adlSeries = Adl.Calculate(bars);
```
## Performance Benchmarks
Processing 10,000 bars on an Intel Core i9-13900K:
| Operation | Time | Allocations |
| Metric | Complexity | Notes |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| Update (Single) | 2.1 ns | 0 bytes |
| Calculate (Batch) | 15 μs | 0 bytes (excluding output) |
| **Throughput** | ~2ns / bar | Simple arithmetic + accumulation |
| **Allocations** | 0 bytes | Hot path is allocation-free |
| **Complexity** | O(1) | Constant time per update |
| **Precision** | `double` | Essential for cumulative sums |
## Validation
We validate correctness against three external authorities to 1e-9 precision:
We validate against **TA-Lib**, **Skender.Stock.Indicators**, and **Tulip Indicators**.
| Library | Status | Notes |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Skender.Stock.Indicators** | ✅ Pass | Reference implementation |
| **TA-Lib** | ✅ Pass | Matches `AD` function |
| **Tulip Indicators** | ✅ Pass | Matches `ad` indicator |
- **Accuracy**: Matches external libraries to 9 decimal places.
- **Edge Cases**: Handles `High == Low` (division by zero protection) by setting MFM to 0.
See [Validation](../validation.md) for comprehensive test results.
### Common Pitfalls
- **Gaps**: ADL ignores gaps. If a stock gaps up but closes near its low, ADL will register distribution, even if the price is higher than yesterday.
- **Scale**: The absolute value of ADL is meaningless; it depends on the start date of the data. Only the *trend* and *divergence* matter.
- **Volume Spikes**: A single bad data point with erroneous volume can permanently skew the ADL. Sanitize your data.

# ADOSC: Chaikin A/D Oscillator
> "Momentum precedes price. Volume momentum precedes price momentum."
The Chaikin Oscillator (ADOSC) is an indicator of an indicator. It applies the MACD formula to the Accumulation/Distribution Line (ADL) instead of the price.
While the ADL is great for spotting long-term flow, it can be sluggish. ADOSC acts as a turbocharger, measuring the *momentum* of that flow. It anticipates changes in the ADL, often signaling a reversal before the ADL itself turns.
## Historical Context
Marc Chaikin created this oscillator because he found the standard ADL too slow for timing entries. He realized that applying the moving average convergence/divergence (MACD) logic to the ADL would highlight the acceleration and deceleration of buying pressure.
## Architecture & Physics
ADOSC is a derivative indicator. It depends on:
1. **ADL**: The base volume flow metric.
2. **EMA**: Two exponential moving averages of that metric.
The physics here is identical to MACD:
- **Fast EMA (3)**: Represents the immediate, short-term money flow.
- **Slow EMA (10)**: Represents the established, medium-term money flow.
- **Difference**: The spread between them represents the momentum of accumulation.
### Zero-Allocation Design
Our implementation composes existing zero-allocation components (`Adl` and `Ema`). The `Update` method simply pipes the bar into the ADL, and the ADL result into the two EMAs.
## Mathematical Foundation
$$
ADOSC_t = EMA(ADL, 3)_t - EMA(ADL, 10)_t
$$
Where:
- $ADL$ is the Accumulation/Distribution Line.
- $EMA(X, N)$ is the Exponential Moving Average of X over N periods.
## Performance Profile
ADOSC is slightly heavier than ADL because it involves two EMAs.
| Metric | Complexity | Notes |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Throughput** | ~15ns / bar | 1 ADL update + 2 EMA updates |
| **Allocations** | 0 bytes | Hot path is allocation-free |
| **Complexity** | O(1) | Constant time per update |
| **Precision** | `double` | Required for EMA convergence |
## Validation
We validate against **TA-Lib**, **Skender.Stock.Indicators**, and **OoplesFinance**.
- **Accuracy**: Matches external libraries to 9 decimal places.
- **Note**: Tulip's `adosc` implementation diverges significantly from other libraries and is excluded from validation.
### Common Pitfalls
- **Volatility**: ADOSC is extremely volatile. It whipsaws frequently. It should never be used in isolation.
- **Trend Confirmation**: Use it to confirm a trend, not to predict it. If price is rising but ADOSC is falling (divergence), the rally is running on fumes.
- **Zero Line**: Crosses above zero indicate that short-term accumulation is overpowering long-term accumulation (Bullish). Crosses below zero indicate the opposite (Bearish).
