True Move AD

True Move A/D™

The flow-level read. One line. Three combined signals.

The standard Chaikin Accumulation/Distribution line uses a single factor — where the close sits within the bar's range. True Move A/D™ uses three, and weights them by their actual reliability.

The composite formula:
K = 0.10 × Price Flow + 0.10 × Midpoint Bias + 0.70 × Close-to-Close Direction

The 70% weight on close-to-close momentum is deliberate. Where a candle closed relative to where it opened is the most consistent signal of genuine directional commitment across bars. The two intrabar components add nuance without overwhelming the primary signal.

Everything is normalised by the prior bar's weighted average price — making the indicator cross-instrument and cross-timeframe consistent, preventing large-range bars from dominating through scale alone.

What makes this different from existing A/D indicators:

  • Standard Chaikin A/D ignores the close-to-close relationship entirely
  • OBV uses only direction, no magnitude
  • PVT uses percentage change but no intrabar location
  • True Move A/D™ combines all three into a single principled composite

Convergence is the first primary signal. It is meant to 'strip away the noise' of price action leaving on the true directional move. 

Divergence is the secondary signal. When True Move A/D™ trends up while price is flat or falling, genuine buying pressure is building. When the line flattens while price makes new highs, conviction is fading before the chart confirms it.

Paired with Directional Impulse™, the two indicators provide the complete picture: True Move A/D™ answers who is winning the war (cumulative flow), Directional Impulse™ answers who won each individual battle (per-bar energy). The balance sheet and the income statement of price action.

Volume modes: None (pure price), Raw Tick, Average, Log (recommended), Log Relative. Configurable EMA signal line.

Directional Impulse  One formula. Every candle. Instantly legible. Most indicators tell you where price is or how fast it's moving. Directional Impulse tells you something different: who won this candle, and by how much. Built on an original formula — X = (2C − H − L) × (H − L) & X = (C − O) x (H − L) — it multiplies directional bias by the bar's full range rather than normalising it away like every preceding indicator in this lineage. The result is a signed energy measure for each bar that ca
