S&P 500 Weighted Advance Decline Line

70
S&P 500 Weighted Advance Decline Line Indicator

Overview

This indicator creates a market cap weighted advance/decline line for the S&P 500 that tracks breadth based on actual index weights rather than treating all stocks equally. By weighting each stock's contribution according to its true S&P 500 impact, it provides more accurate market breadth analysis and better insights into underlying market strength and potential turning points.

Key Features

  • Market Cap Weighted: Each stock contributes based on its actual S&P 500 weight
  • Top 40 Stocks: Covers ~51% of the index with the largest companies
    (limited by TradingView's 40 security call maximum for Premium accounts)
  • Real-Time Updates: Cumulative line shows long-term breadth trends
  • Visual Indicators: Background coloring, moving average option, and data table

How to Interpret

Trend Signals
  • Rising A/D Line: Broad market strength, more weighted buying than selling
  • Falling A/D Line: Market weakness, more weighted selling pressure
  • Flat A/D Line: Balanced market conditions


Divergence Analysis
  • Bullish Divergence: S&P 500 makes new lows but A/D Line holds higher
  • Bearish Divergence: S&P 500 makes new highs but A/D Line fails to confirm


Confirmation
  • Strong trends occur when both price and A/D Line move in the same direction
  • Weak trends show when price moves but breadth doesn't follow


Settings

  • Lookback Period: Days for advance/decline comparison (default: 1)
  • Show Moving Average: Optional trend smoothing
  • MA Length: Moving average period (default: 20)



Limitations

  • Covers ~51% of S&P 500 (not complete market breadth)
  • Optimized for TradingView Premium accounts (40 security limit)
  • Heavy weighting toward mega-cap technology stocks
  • Dependent on real-time data quality
