Accumulation Swing Index

Description

The Accumulation Swing Index is a cumulative total of the Swing Index. Step-by-step instructions on calculating the Swing Index are provided in Wilder's book, New Concepts In Technical Trading Systems for more information on the Accumulation Swing Index's parameters.

Interpretation

A breakout is indicated when the Accumulation Swing Index exceeds its value on the day when a previous significant high swing point was made. A downside breakout is indicated when the value of the Accumulation Swing Index drops below its value on a day when a previous significant low swing point was made.

You can confirm trendline breakouts by comparing trendlines on the Accumulation Swing Index to trendlines on the price chart. A false breakout is indicated when a trendline drawn on a price chart is penetrated, but a similar trendline drawn on the Accumulation Swing Index is not penetrated.
