Accumulation/Distribution Oscillator.

Also known as the Chaikin Oscillator.

Essentially a momentum indicator, but of the Accumulation-Distribution line
rather than merely price. It looks at both the strength of price moves and the
underlying buying and selling pressure during a given time period. The oscillator
reading above zero indicates net buying pressure, while one below zero registers
net selling pressure. Divergence between the indicator and pure price moves are
the most common signals from the indicator, and often flag market turning points.

Parameters
----------
data : List[Data]
List of data to be used for the calculation.
fast : PositiveInt, optional
Number of periods to be used for the fast calculation, by default 3.
slow : PositiveInt, optional
Number of periods to be used for the slow calculation, by default 10.
offset : int, optional
Offset to be used for the calculation, by default 0.

Returns
-------
OBBject[List[Data]]

Examples
--------
```python
from openbb import obb
stock_data = obb.equity.price.historical(symbol="TSLA", start_date="2023-01-01", provider="fmp")
adosc_data = obb.technical.adosc(data=stock_data.results, fast=3, slow=10, offset=0)
```
