SC MTF Accelerator Oscillator MT4

What is AC?

Accelerator Oscillator (AC) is a momentum indicator developed by Bill Williams that measures the acceleration or deceleration of the current driving force. The indicator is calculated as the difference between the Awesome Oscillator (AO) and its 5-period Simple Moving Average (SMA).

AC shows whether the market momentum is accelerating or decelerating. Positive values indicate acceleration in the upward direction, negative values indicate acceleration in the downward direction. When AC crosses the zero line, it signals a change in the direction of acceleration. Traders often use AC to confirm trend strength and identify potential entry or exit points.
