-Developed by Marc Chaikin, the Accumulation Distribution Line is a volume-based indicator ​designed ​to measure the cumulative flow of money into and out of a security. Chaikin originally referred to the indicator as the Cumulative Money Flow Line. As with cumulative indicators, the Accumulation Distribution Line is a running total of each period'​s Money Flow Volume. First, a multiplier is calculated based on the relationship of the close to the high-low range. Second, the Money Flow Multiplier is multiplied by the period'​s volume to come up with a Money Flow Volume. A running total of the Money Flow Volume forms the Accumulation Distribution Line. Chartists can use this indicator to affirm a security'​s underlying trend or anticipate reversals when the indicator diverges from the security price+The Accumulation Distribution Line is a volume-based indicator ​developed by Marc Chaikin ​to measure the cumulative flow of money into and out of a security. ​
