What is the Rise and Fall Line?

The line of ups and downs is otherwise known as the market breadth indicator. It shows the value of selected positions (all stocks, shares of specific companies, etc.) that rose in a given session, compared to positions that recorded declines. This produces a line, also referred to as ADL.

 

What information can an investor get from the ups and downs lines?

This line gives investors very important information about which way the market may go. It gives information on whether the market trend will continue or may soon be broken. By comparing the indicator to the trend of the stock market, an investor can plan his future movements.

Does the rise and fall line indicator always work?

If the stock market has been trending downward for a long time, this can disrupt the correct analysis of the market breadth indicator, which will not be able to be read well. However, some investors modify the indicator slightly and do not consider all stocks, but, for example, take into account the 10-day and 30-day compression of companies that have recorded declines and increases, and just like the basic indicator, a comparison is made here as well. In this way, the chart can include two additional indicators that will inform what trends the investor may be dealing with.

Can ADL be used as a warning signal?

A correctly calculated indicator can tell an investor whether it is worth withdrawing from the operations in question, since it is slightly ahead of the market situation, and can therefore be a warning signal for those who invest.
