What this example teaches

Demonstrates an ADL/price divergence strategy driven by daily OHLCV bars. The implemented rule targets +1 unit when smoothed price changes are positive and smoothed money-flow volume is negative, and -1 unit for the reverse signs. It targets zero otherwise. This documents the actual rule, rather than assuming the more usual bullish-divergence interpretation.

Prices are synthetic by default; --live downloads Yahoo history. Pass --charts to plot the ADL; performance measures appear in the console.

Using this example. Adapts OHLCV bars to an indicator-driven strategy and sends only the change from current position to the target. Order quantities are signed product units; this fixed-unit example does not invest all account cash. DemoSupport controls licensing, synthetic data and optional live downloads.

Model and publication. No single original research publication is claimed for this library/example policy.

Implementation in this tutorial. Accumulation/distribution aggregates volume signed by the close’s location within its high-low range. The demo combines that indicator with smoothed price changes. Its actual target rule, documented above, is an example policy and is not evidence that a divergence signal has positive expected return.

The external license was not accepted for this calculation.

Reproduce the calculation

Follow the repository setup for JDK 8, Maven credentials and an external NM license. From the repository root:

mvn -U -Dmaven.test.skip=true clean package
mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass=tech.nmfin.algoquant.demo.model.technical.AccumulationDistributionLineDemo -Dexec.args="--quick"

The automated run uses scripts/ModelDemoRunner.java to initialize the external license before the unchanged main, save JFreeChart windows as PNGs, and exit after main returns. It uses an isolated working directory with the repository datasets/configuration linked in. Running directly may leave desktop windows open.

Interpreting the result

Use the first relevant exception and the source configuration to resolve the prerequisite or code issue, then rerun. A missing dataset requires the correct original schema and period; substituting synthetic values would be a different experiment. A timeout establishes only that this bounded attempt did not finish.

For model assumptions, original publications and adaptation limits, use the literature guide.
