Definition
Running total of close-location value times volume. Unlike OBV it weights where in the range the bar closed, so weak closes on high volume distribute.
Parameters
Asset, Interval
Output range: Unbounded (cumulative)
Example condition
`ADL(AAPL)` diverging from price (Smart-money footprint)Usage notes
Prefer ADL over OBV on wide-range bars — OBV treats a weak high-volume close as full accumulation.
Use in a strategy
Add this indicator to a strategy condition, choose its supported parameters and compare the output with the threshold required by your rule. Preserve the same interval and lookback when comparing backtests.
After saving the condition, inspect its asset, interval, lookback and comparison operator against the parameters above. If no trades occur, check whether the condition ever became true and whether the requested input data exists for that period. A missing input is not a zero-valued signal. An indicator produces an input to a rule. It does not establish future returns, and data availability can differ across assets and periods.
