Accumulation Swing Index: Inputs and Cumulative Calculation

Summary

This post introduces the Accumulation Swing Index (ASI), also called the oscillating swing index, and lists open, high, low, and close prices as its inputs. It presents pseudocode that compares current prices with prior close, low, and open values, builds intermediate range and movement terms, and calculates a swing value from those terms. The final ASI is formed by cumulatively summing the swing values.

The post is primarily an indicator definition and formula reference. It does not explain how to interpret ASI signals, specify trading rules, or report empirical tests. A linked document is cited for the indicator’s meaning, but no substantive explanation of its use appears in the text itself, so the material alone is insufficient to judge predictive value or implementation choices such as parameter handling.

Key ideas

• ASI uses open, high, low, and close price data.
• Its calculation compares current prices with several prior-period price references.
• Intermediate range terms determine a period swing value.
• The indicator is produced by cumulatively summing those swing values.
• The post supplies no signal rules or performance evidence.
