Core logic

The Accumulation/Distribution (A/D) line evaluates where the closing price sits within the candle range and weights this position by volume.

Key principles:

* closes near the high with high volume increase the A/D value (accumulation)
* closes near the low with high volume decrease the A/D value (distribution)
* values are cumulatively summed, creating a running pressure profile
* a simple moving average (SMA) of the A/D line is applied for smoothing and trend confirmation

A rising A/D line indicates underlying buying pressure, while a falling A/D line signals increasing selling pressure.

Visualization

The script plots:

* the Accumulation/Distribution line in a separate indicator pane
* a configurable moving average of the A/D line
* customizable colors for both the raw A/D line and its moving average

This clean layout makes shifts in volume-backed momentum and pressure changes easy to spot.

Use case

This indicator is intended for:

* identifying accumulation and distribution phases
* confirming trend strength using volume confirmation
* spotting divergences between price and volume pressure
* filtering false breakouts in low-quality price moves
* supporting smart money and volume-based trading concepts

It works especially well when combined with price structure, trend filters, or AI-assisted chart interpretation.
