Abstract: A computer-implemented method for calculating a trade price reference indicator includes step 101: creating a frequency distribution chart based on a price increment; step 102: selecting an accumulation distribution point from the frequency distribution chart; and step 103: calculating an average deviation of an active range based on the accumulation distribution point, calculating a significant range, and using the significant range as an equitable value of a market. The method calculates and generates a trading reference price indicator of a financial market product by superimposing discrete quantitative elements of time and quantity distributions onto conventional price-time, so as to accurately reflect real-time market transactions, avoid price manipulation, and achieve accurate statistics and analysis of financial prices.

Abstract: A method for predicting a financial product price based on an accumulation distribution indicator includes the following steps: step S1: inputting, by a user, a ticker symbol; step S2: calculating, by a system, an accumulation distribution indicator value based on daily trade data; step S3: calculating an accumulation distribution interval and an average candlestick; step S4: determining whether the accumulation distribution indicator breaks through the accumulation distribution interval upward or downward; if the accumulation distribution indicator breaks through the accumulation distribution interval upward or downward, going to step S6, otherwise, going to step S5; step S5: displaying a chart with the average candlestick; and step S6: displaying a breakout mark, where the breakout mark is a rising mark if an upward breakout occurs or is a falling mark if a downward breakout occurs, and displaying the chart with the average candlestick.
