Anchored VWAP
Anchored VWAP is the volume-weighted average price calculated from a specific anchor point you choose — a major high or low, an earnings date, an IPO — rather than resetting each session. This article explains how it represents the average price paid since a key event, why it acts as dynamic support and resistance, how being above or below it signals who is in profit, and where to anchor it for the most meaningful read.
Accumulation/Distribution Line
The Accumulation/Distribution (A/D) Line is a cumulative volume-flow line that, unlike OBV, weights each bar by where price closed within its range. This article explains how it is built, how its direction reveals accumulation versus distribution, how it differs from OBV (close-within-range vs up/down) and from Chaikin Money Flow (cumulative line vs windowed oscillator), and how A/D divergence warns when volume flow disagrees with price.
