what is ADVANCE,DECLINE ratio. also explain how it helps
the investor to predict the stock market movements?

Answer Posted / rajesh kumar

Advance/Decline Ratio
Another variation on the A/D line is the advance/decline
ratio, which divides the advancers by the decliners. Here is
the formula:
A/D Ratio = # of Advancing Stocks / # of Declining Stocks

This formula creates values that cannot be less than zero
because it is a fraction (or ratio). A value of 3 means that
three times as many stocks advanced as declined. Any value
less than 1 means more stocks declined than advanced.
Because of the nature of fractions, the chart is more
legible using a logarithmic scale. Like the A/D spread, this
chart moves quickly, so it's usually smoothed with a moving
average.
