The Acceleration/Deceleration Indicator (AC) measures the acceleration and deceleration of the current driving force. This indicator can predict changes in the driving force, which, in turn, precedes price changes. Recognizing this early warning signal provides a significant advantage.

The nought line represents the equilibrium between the driving force and acceleration. When the indicator is above the nought line, it suggests an upward momentum, and vice versa when it is below. Unlike the Awesome Oscillator, crossing the nought line is not considered a signal. Instead, focus on color changes for market insights. Remember, avoid buying when the current column is red and selling when it's green.

To enter the market in the direction of the driving force (indicator above nought for buying or below for selling), look for two consecutive green columns to buy or two red columns to sell. However, if the driving force opposes the intended position (indicator below nought for buying or above for selling), seek confirmation with an additional column. In this scenario, wait for three red columns above the nought line for a short position or three green columns below for a long position.

Calculation:
The AC bar chart is derived by subtracting the 5-period simple moving average from 5/34 of the driving force bar chart.
