Acceleration/Deceleration (AC)
- DarkLight
Acceleration/Deceleration (AC) is a histogram-type oscillator that quantifies the current market momentum. The longer the bars are, the greater the market momentum's acceleration/deceleration, and vice versa. The AC values are calculated as the difference between Awesome Oscillator (AO) and its 5-period Simple Moving Average (SMA).
AC = AO - SMA (AO)
where:
AO – the Awesome Oscillator value calculated for the period
SMA (AO) – the Awesome Oscillator value calculated for the period and then smoothed by Simple Moving Average
