Volume
Reading momentum through transaction flow

Accumulation/Distribution Line (A/D Line)
A cumulative volume indicator that weights each day's volume by where the close sits within the bar's range. A finer reading than OBV of who controlled the session.

Chaikin Money Flow (CMF)
MembersA/D Line logic normalised over a rolling window, expressed as a bounded ratio between −1 and +1. The zero line separates recent accumulation from recent distribution.
Intermediate2026-05-14 - 03→
Ease of Movement (EOM)
MembersA volume indicator that measures how easily price moves — quantifying the fragility of rallies made on thin participation, and the weight of moves made on real volume.
Intermediate2026-05-14 - 04→
Force Index
MembersA signed oscillator that fuses price change and volume into a single number. Alexander Elder's gauge of the conviction behind every move.
Intermediate2026-05-14 - 05→
Klinger Volume Oscillator (KVO)
MembersA sophisticated volume oscillator that combines direction, effort, and range into one money-flow reading — designed to track the long arc of accumulation while staying alert to short-term reversals.
Advanced2026-05-14 - 06→
OBV (On-Balance Volume)
A cumulative volume indicator that exposes the demand flow hidden behind price. Divergence between price and OBV is what reveals quiet accumulation and quiet distribution.
Introductory2026-05-14 - 07→
Price Volume Trend (PVT)
MembersA cumulative volume indicator that refines OBV by scaling volume by the size of the price change — letting the strength of each day's move register in the slope of the line.
Intermediate2026-05-14 - 08→
Volume Profile
MembersA histogram of volume traded at each price level rather than across time. The longest bar marks the price at which the market most fully agreed.
Intermediate2026-05-14 - 09→
VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price)
MembersThe intraday average price weighted by traded volume. The institutional benchmark — a single number for what the session truly transacted at.
Intermediate2026-05-14 - 10→
Volume Weighted Moving Average (VWMA)
MembersA moving average that weights each price by the volume that traded at it — showing not where the line passed, but where the participation actually accumulated.
