Hi Rolf,
The definitions of A & D are fairly straightforward, whether for a stock =
or a market index:
An accumulation day is one in which the price ends higher on volume =
higher than the previous day.
A distribution day is one in which the price ends lower on volume higher =
than the previous day.=20
So, for example, a warning sign that the market may be topping would be =
4 distribution days within 2 weeks.
For a stock, many would consider it a sell signal if there were 2 days =
close together that were either distribution days or were days with high =
volume and little/no price progress.
The follow-thru day is just a special application of an accumulation day =
for a market index. That is, after a market low has been printed, you're =
looking for accumulation of 2%+ within 4-7 days of the first rally off =
the low.

Subject: [CANSLIM] accumulation/distribution days
Just dug through HTMMIS and IBD's Investor's Corner Archives, and I
can't seem to come up with definitions for these. Is an accumulation =
day
one in which the DOW, S&P, or NASD rise on higher volume, or do they
need the same 2% rise on volume as a FT day? Ditto for a distribution =
day -
simple drop in a major index on higher volume, or is there also a % =
drop.
Thanks!
Rolf
