Advance/Decline Line

Definition of Advance/Decline Line

An Advance/Decline Line can help you plot the daily difference between the number of advancing and declining stocks.

As a result, the Advance/Decline Line is a technical indicator used to gauge market sentiment, price trends, and trend reversals.

Here’s how the Advance/Decline Line is calculated:


  • Calculate the number of stocks that finished in the red.
  • Calculate the number of stocks that finished in the green.
  • Subtract #1 from #2 to find out the net movement aka Net Advance.
  • Repeat #1, #2, and #3 the next day and add the values for Net Advance.
  • Add both the previous day’s and the present day’s Net Advance. Repeat for future calculations.

Index Arbitrage

Index arbitrage is the method of generating returns by trading the difference between the same or different indices that have a standard value but has diverged momentarily. The way one does index arbitrage can vary as it is possible to trade indices via ETFs, Options, Futures, and more.

Deferred Tax Asset

A deferred tax asset is an item on a company’s financial statement that can be used to get tax relief, generally in the event of overpaying taxes or net losses that are carried forward.

Companies tend to deduct these overpayments or losses for accounting purposes and to reduce their overall taxable income. Common examples of deferred tax assets include:

  • Depreciation of fixed assets
  • Net financial loss
  • Bad debt

Adjusted Futures Price

An adjusted futures price shows the cost of purchasing, financing, and delivering the underlying assets of a futures contract.

The adjusted futures price is calculated by multiplying the price of the underlying asset by the number of units to be delivered (known as the conversion factor).

Dividend Stripping

Dividend stripping is a strategy of buying a company’s stock days before it announces a dividend and then selling the same stock at a lower price once the current holder is entitled to get the dividend previously announced.

The resulting loss in capital gains is generally offset by the profits from dividends. Dividend stripping was once non-taxable, which made the strategy lucrative for smart investors. However, dividends in India are now subject to tax.

Book Value

Book value of an asset is what you get by subtracting its accumulated depreciation from the original cost of the asset.

That’s why book value is referred to as the Net Asset Value (NAV) in the UK.

For a company, the book value is its total assets subtracted by liabilities, intangible assets and/or goodwill.

Cash Conversion Cycle

A Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) tells you how many days it will take to convert a company’s inventory or resources into cash. The formula for Cash Conversion Cycle is:

Cash Conversion Cycle = (DIO + DSO) – DPO

  • DIO: Days Inventory Outstanding is the average number of days it takes for a company to turn inventory into cash through sales
  • DSO: Days Sales Outstanding is the average number of days it takes for a company to collect its receivables
  • DPO: Days Payable Outstanding is the average number of days it takes fo a company to fulfil its obligations or payables
