Chaikin Money Flow with EnhancementsThis enhanced version of the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator is designed to help traders better understand market sentiment by visualizing momentum shifts and trends based on volume-weighted accumulation and distribution.
CMF Calculation: The CMF line is calculated using the typical CMF formula, which compares the close price to the high/low range, weighted by volume.
Fading Color Zones: Green and red fading zones are added between the CMF line and the zero line. Green represents bullish momentum (CMF above zero), and red represents bearish momentum (CMF below zero). These zones highlight key shifts in market sentiment.
Cross Detection: The indicator detects when the CMF crosses above or below the zero line, signaling potential trend changes. The price and CMF values at the time of the cross are stored and can be used for further analysis.
Average Line: A configurable moving average of the CMF is plotted to provide a smoothed trendline, helping traders identify the overall direction of market sentiment.
This indicator is ideal for traders who want to enhance their technical analysis by incorporating volume-weighted momentum indicators and identifying trend reversals more clearly.

Chaikin Money Flow with Moving AverageThis indicator combines the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) with a moving average, helping traders analyze buying/selling pressure and whether it's increasing or decreasing.
What It Does:
Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) developed by Marc Chaikin is a volume-weighted average of accumulation and distribution over a specified period.
A moving average is applied to CMF to reduce noise and smooth trends, making it easier to identify sustained market sentiment shifts.
How to Use It?
CMF helps confirm trend strength and potential reversals. We reduces false signals from CMF by smoothing fluctuations and making it easier to spot trends.
A CMF value above zero is a sign of strength, and a value below zero is a sign of weakness.
A rising price with a falling CMF (below moving average) is a bearish divergence and a possible reversal of the uptrend.
Similarly, a falling price with a rising CMF (above moving average) is a bullish divergence and again signals a possible reversal of the downtrend.
Configurable Parameters:
CMF Length: Adjusts how many periods are used for CMF calculation.
MA Type: Choose between SMA, EMA, WMA, VWMA, or T3 for smoothing.
MA Length: Controls how much smoothing is applied.
This tool is great for traders looking to improve volume-based trend analysis while filtering out short-term noise.
Chaikin Oscillator with StdDev MarkersJust a Chaikin Oscillator slightly tuned to show extreme changes in A/D momentum.
- Red histogram means the fast EMA is way above the slow EMA (strong distribution).
- Green histogram means the fast EMA is way below the slow EMA (strong accumulation).
Divergences are also easy to identify. When the price pushes more than the histogram, hidden selling could be taking place near tops, and when the price drops but the histogram doesn't follow, accumulation could be taking place.
This, coupled with VSA analysis, is all you'll ever need to understand price action.
Strength of Divergence Across Multiple Indicators (+CMF&VWMACD)Modified Version of Strength of Divergence Across Multiple Indicators by reees
Purpose:
This Pine Script indicator is designed to identify and evaluate the strength of bullish and bearish divergences across multiple technical indicators. Divergences occur when the price of an asset is moving in one direction while a technical indicator is moving in the opposite direction, potentially signaling a trend reversal.
Key Features:
1. Multiple Indicator Support: The script now analyzes divergences for the following indicators:
* RSI (Relative Strength Index)
* OBV (On-Balance Volume)
* MACD (Moving Average Convergence/Divergence)
* STOCH (Stochastic Oscillator)
* CCI (Commodity Channel Index)
* MFI (Money Flow Index)
* AO (Awesome Oscillator)
* CMF (Chaikin Money Flow) - Newly added
* VWMACD (Volume-Weighted MACD) - Newly added
2. Customizable Divergence Parameters:
* Bullish/Bearish: Enable or disable the detection of bullish and bearish divergences independently.
* Regular/Hidden: Detect both regular and hidden divergences (hidden divergences can indicate trend continuation).
* Broken Trendline Exclusion: Optionally ignore divergences where the trendline connecting price pivots is broken by an intermediate pivot.
* Pivot Lookback Periods: Adjust the number of bars used to identify valid pivot highs and lows for divergence calculations.
* Weighting: Assign different weights to regular vs. hidden divergences and to the relative change in price vs. the indicator.
3. Indicator-Specific Settings:
* Weight: Each indicator can be assigned a weight, influencing its contribution to the overall divergence strength calculation.
* Extreme Value: Define a threshold above which an indicator's divergence is considered "extreme," giving it a higher strength rating.
4. Divergence Strength Calculation:
* For each indicator, the script calculates a divergence "degree" based on the magnitude of the divergence and the user-defined weightings.
* The total divergence strength is the sum of the individual indicator divergence degrees.
* Strength is categorized as "Extreme," "Very strong," "Strong," "Moderate," "Weak," or "Very weak."
5. Visualization:
* Divergence Lines: The script draws lines on the chart connecting the price and indicator pivots that form a divergence (optional, with customizable transparency).
* Labels: Labels display the total divergence strength and a breakdown of each indicator's contribution. The size and visibility of labels are based on the strength.
6. Alerts:
* The script can generate alerts when the total divergence strength exceeds a user-defined threshold.
New Indicators (CMF and VWMACD):
* Chaikin Money Flow (CMF):
* Purpose: Measures the buying and selling pressure by analyzing the relationship between price, volume, and the accumulation/distribution line.
* Divergence: A bullish CMF divergence occurs when the price makes a lower low, but the CMF makes a higher low (suggesting increasing buying pressure). A bearish divergence is the opposite.
* Volume-Weighted MACD (VWMACD):
* Purpose: Similar to the standard MACD but uses volume-weighted moving averages instead of simple moving averages, giving more weight to periods with higher volume.
* Divergence: Divergences are interpreted similarly to the standard MACD, but the VWMACD can be more sensitive to volume changes.
How It Works (Simplified):
1. Pivot Detection: The script identifies pivot highs and lows in both price and the selected indicators using the specified lookback periods.
2. Divergence Check: For each indicator:
* It checks if a series of pivots in price and the indicator are diverging (e.g., price makes a lower low, but the indicator makes a higher low for a bullish divergence).
* It calculates the divergence degree based on the difference in price and indicator values, weightings, and whether it's a regular or hidden divergence.
3. Strength Aggregation: The script sums up the divergence degrees of all enabled indicators to get the total divergence strength.
4. Visualization and Alerts: It draws lines and labels on the chart to visualize the divergences and generates alerts if the total strength exceeds the set threshold.
Benefits:
* Comprehensive Divergence Analysis: By considering multiple indicators, the script provides a more robust assessment of potential trend reversals.
* Customization: The many adjustable parameters allow traders to fine-tune the script to their specific trading style and preferences.
* Objective Strength Evaluation: The divergence strength calculation and categorization offer a more objective way to evaluate the significance of divergences.
* Early Warning System: Divergences can often precede significant price movements, making this script a valuable tool for anticipating potential trend changes.
* Volume Confirmation: The inclusion of CMF and VWMACD add volume-based confirmation to the divergence signals, potentially increasing their reliability.
Limitations:
* Lagging Indicators: Most of the indicators used are lagging, meaning they are based on past price data. Divergences may sometimes occur after a significant price move has already begun.
* False Signals: No indicator is perfect, and divergences can sometimes produce false signals, especially in choppy or ranging markets.
* Subjectivity: While the script aims for objectivity, some settings (like weightings and extreme values) still involve a degree of subjective judgment.
Chaikin's Money FlowOverview : Chaikin's Money Flow (CMF) is a momentum indicator that measures the buying and selling pressure of a financial instrument over a specified period. By incorporating both price and volume, CMF provides a comprehensive view of market sentiment, helping traders identify potential trend reversals and confirm the strength of existing trends.
Key Features:
Volume-Weighted : Unlike price-only indicators, CMF accounts for trading volume, offering deeper insights into the forces driving price movements.
Oscillatory Nature : CMF oscillates between positive and negative values, typically ranging from -100 to +100, indicating the balance between buying and selling pressure.
Trend Confirmation : Positive CMF values suggest accumulating buying pressure, while negative values indicate distributing selling pressure. This aids in confirming the direction and strength of trends.
Calculation Details :
Intraday Intensity (II) = 100 × (2×Close−High−Low) / (High−Low) × Volume
Condition: If High=Low, II is set to 0 to prevent division by zero.
II_smoothed = SMA(II, lookback)
Applies a Simple Moving Average (SMA) to the Intraday Intensity over the defined lookback period to smooth out short-term fluctuations.
Volume Smoothing:
V_smoothed = EMA(Volume, Volume Smoothing Period)
Utilizes an Exponential Moving Average (EMA) to smooth the volume over the specified smoothing period, giving more weight to recent data.
Money Flow Calculation:
Money Flow = II_smoothed / V_smoothed
Condition: If Vsmoothed=0Vsmoothed=0, Money Flow is set to 0 to avoid division by zero.
Usage Instructions:
Parameters Configuration:
Lookback Period: Determines the number of periods over which Intraday Intensity is averaged. A higher value results in a smoother indicator, reducing sensitivity to short-term price movements.
Volume Smoothing Period: Defines the period for the EMA applied to Volume. Adjusting this parameter affects the responsiveness of the Money Flow indicator to changes in trading volume.
Interpreting the Indicator:
Positive Values (>0): Indicate buying pressure. The higher the value, the stronger the buying interest.
Negative Values (<0): Signal selling pressure. The lower the value, the more intense the selling activity.
Crossovers: Watch for Money Flow crossing above the zero line as potential buy signals and crossing below as potential sell signals.
Divergence: Identify divergences between Money Flow and price movements to anticipate possible trend reversals.
Complementary Analysis:
Confluence with Other Indicators: Use CMF in conjunction with trend indicators like Moving Averages or oscillators like RSI to enhance signal reliability.
Volume Confirmation: CMF's volume-weighted approach makes it a powerful tool for confirming the validity of price trends and breakouts.
Acknowledgment: This implementation of Chaikin's Money Flow Indicator is inspired by and derived from the methodologies presented in "Statistically Sound Indicators" by Timothy Masters. The indicator has been meticulously translated to Pine Script to maintain the statistical integrity and effectiveness outlined in the source material.
Disclaimer: The Chaikin's Money Flow Indicator is a tool designed to assist in trading decisions. It does not guarantee profits and should be used in conjunction with other analysis methods. Trading involves risk, and it's essential to perform thorough testing and validation before deploying any indicator in live trading environments.
Accumulation/Distribution Money Flow v1.0This indicator is intended to measure selling and buying pressure, calculates accumulation/distribution levels and suggests current trend intensity and direction.
Core calculations are based on open source script by cI8DH which was not updated ever since 2018. Also, it implements the technique to avoid price gaps issues as described in Twiggs® Money Flow .
The indicator can plot calculated A/D line, a smoothed A/D line and another smoother derivative from the smoothed line which serves as a signal line. By implementing crossovers detection between two lines and also measuring distance between them it plots the histogram of the difference and can also color chart bars accordingly.
You can also use settings to factor in price and/or volume into calculations.
Three options for visual color representation are available.
1) Simple color bars
In this case bars are colored in red and green by default, whereas green indicates positive distance between smoothed A/D line and signal line (upward movement), and red indicated negative distance (downward movement).
2) 4-color scheme
In this case pale green and pale red colors are added, whereas pale red used when the histogram is positive and A/D + signal lines are below zero lines (start of upward movement from lower levels), and pale green is where histogram is negative and both A/D and signal lines are above zero line (start of downward movement from top levels). Bright red and green colors indicate strong movement where the position of A/D + signal lines correspond to positive and.or negative histogram values. This option allows to visually track trend intensity more precisely.
3) Gradient bars color
In this scheme the candles are colored using gradient of either red or green color depending on the intensity and direction of the trend. For that color scheme you must specify the lookback parameter indicating number of bars back to determine highest/lowest values.
YD_Divergence_RSI+CMFThe ‘YD_Divergence_RSI+CMF’ indicator can find divergence using RSI (Relative Strength Index) and CMF (Chaikin Money Flow) indicators.
📌 Key functions
1. Search pivot high and pivot low points in a certain length of price.
2. Connect pivot high to pivot high , pivot low to pivot low , forming two standards for divergence in result.
The marker then plots only the higher high, lower low lines.
(higher low and lower high in prices are referred to hidden divergence, which are not considered in this indicator)
3. Compare the two standards with RSI and CMF indicators, send an alert if there is a divergence. As a result, the indicator will find four combination of divergence.
A. Higher high price / Lower RSI (Bearish RSI Divergence)
B. Lower low price / Higher RSI (Bullish RSI Divergence)
C. Higher high price / Lower CMF (Bearish CMF Divergence)
D. Lower low price / Higher CMF (Bullish CMF Divergence)
📌 Details
Developing the indicators, we put a lot of effort in making a customizable and user-friendly interface.
#1. Pivot Setting
Users can set the length to find the pivot high / pivot low in ‘Pivot Settings – Pivot Length.’
Increased pivot Length takes more candles to interpret the chart but reduce false signals since the it uses only the most certain pivot high / pivot low values. Obviously, decreased pivot length will act the opposite.
Users can choose whether to use ‘High/Low’ or ‘Close’ in ‘Pivot Reference’ to set the swing point of prices.
Users can also choose whether to display the pivot high / pivot low marker on the chart.
#2 RSI & CMF Settings
Users can adjust the length of RSI & CMF separately. (The default values are set to 14 and 20 each.)
#3 Label Setting
Users can adjust the text displayed on the chart label. (The default values is set to ‘Bullish / Bearish’, ‘RSI/CMF’, ‘Divergence’.)
Users can reduce the length of text label or simply turn the label off. Just click the ‘Bull/Bear’ or ‘None’ button. ‘Divergence’ works the same.
Users can decide whether to display the ‘Divergence Line and Label’, set custom settings for the label and line. (color, thickness, style, etc)
📌 Alert
Alert are provided as a combination of the chart's symbol and the set label text. For example,

C. Higher high price / Lower CMF (Bearish CMF Divergence)
D. Lower low price / Higher CMF (Bullish CMF Divergence)
📌 세부 사항
지표를 개발하며 사용자들이 원하는 방향으로 지표를 설정할 수 있게 작업에 많은 공을 들였습니다. 굉장히 다양한 옵션을 선택할 수 있으며, 원하는 방식으로 지표를 사용할 수 있습니다.
#1 Pivot Setting
Pivot setting에서는 Pivot Length를 변경할 수 있습니다.
Pivot Length를 늘릴 경우, 보다 확실한 Swing High와 Swing Low만을 사용하게 되므로, False signal이 줄어들 수 있습니다. 하지만 Swing High/ Low를 판정하는 데에 더 긴 시간이 걸리게 되므로, Signal이 다소 늦게 발생하는 단점이 생기게 됩니다.
Pivot Length를 줄일 경우, 반대로 Swing High/Low의 판정이 더 빨리 일어나기 때문에, Signal을 거래에 이용하기는 좋을 수 있습니다. 다만, Swing High와 Low가 훨씬 더 잦은 빈도로 발생하기 때문에 False Signal을 줄 가능성이 높아집니다.
Pivot Reference에서는 가격의 Swing Point를 설정함에 있어, High/Low(고가/저가)를 이용할 지 Close (종가)를 이용할 지 선택할 수 있습니다.
Pivot High/Low Marker를 선택할 경우 Pivot High/ Low에 Marker가 찍히게 됩니다.
#2 RSI와 CMF Setting
RSI와 CMF Setting에서는 RSI와 CMF의 길이를 각각 설정할 수 있습니다. 기본값은 14와 20으로 설정되어 있습니다.
#3 Label Setting
Label Setting에서는 Label에 표시되는 글자를 선택할 수 있습니다.
기본값은 "Bullish / Bearish", "RSI/CMF", "Divergence"로 선택되어 있으며, 너무 길다고 느껴질 경우 "Bull/Bear" 혹은 "None"을 클릭하여 길이를 줄일 수 있습니다. 마찬가지로 Divergence의 경우도 생략이 가능합니다.
하단에서는 Divergence Line과 Label을 켜고 끌 수 있으며, 선의 색깔, 굵기, 종류, 그리고 Label의 색깔, 크기, 종류를 선택할 수 있습니다. Label의 Text 색 역시 변경이 가능합니다.
📌 얼러트
얼러트는 자신이 설정한 차트의 심볼과 Label의 문구의 조합으로 제공되며 예를 들면 다음과 같습니다.

Discrete Fourier Transformed Money Flow IndexThe Discrete Fourier Transform Money Flow Index indicator integrates the Money Flow Index (MFI) with Discrete Fourier Transform (credit to author wbburgin - May 26 2023 ) smoothing to offer a refined and smoothed depiction of the MFI's underlying trend. The MFI is calculated using the formula: MFI = 100 - (100 / (1 + MR)), where a high MFI value indicates robust buying pressure (signaling an overbought condition), and a low MFI value indicates substantial selling pressure (signaling an oversold condition).
Why is the DFT and MFI combined?
The aim of this combination between DFT and MFI is to effectively filter out short-term fluctuations and noise, enabling a clearer assessment of the overall trend. This smoothing process enhances the reliability of the MFI by emphasizing dominant and sustained buying or selling pressures. This script executes a full DFT but only uses filtering from one frequency component. The choice to focus on the magnitude at index 0 is significant as it captures the dominant or fundamental frequency in the data. By analyzing this primary cyclic behavior, we can identify recurring patterns and potential turning points more easily. This streamlined approach simplifies interpretation and enhances efficiency by reducing complexity associated with multiple frequency components. Overall, focusing on the dominant frequency and applying it to the MFI provides a concise and actionable assessment of the underlying data.
Note: The FMFI indicator provides both smoothed and non-smoothed versions of the MFI, with the option to toggle the original non-smoothed MFI on or off in the settings.
Application
FMFI functions as a trend-following indicator. Bullish trends are denoted by the color white, while bearish trends are represented by the color purple. Circles plotted on the FMFI indicate regular bull and bear signals. Additionally, red arrows indicate a strong negative trend, while green arrows indicate a strong positive trend. These arrows are calculated based on the presence of regular bull and bear signals within overbought and oversold zones. To enhance its effectiveness, it is recommended to combine this indicator with other complementary technical analysis tools and integrate it into a comprehensive trading strategy. Traders are encouraged to explore a wide range of settings and timeframes to align the indicator with their unique trading preferences and adapt it to the current market conditions. By doing so, traders can optimize the indicator's performance and increase their potential for successful trading outcomes.
Utility
Traders and investors can employ this indicator to enhance their trend-following strategies. The white-colored components of the FMFI can help identify potential buying zones, while the purple-colored components can assist in identifying potential selling points. The red and green arrows can be used to pinpoint moments of strong bull or bear momentum, allowing traders to position themselves advantageously in their trading activities. Please note that future performance of any trading strategy is fundamentally unknowable, and past results do not guarantee future performance.
Vorse4**Vorse4 Indicator**
The Vorse4 Indicator is a technical analysis tool that combines Chaikin Oscillator, Intraday Momentum Index (IMI), MACD, and Parabolic SAR indicators. This indicator generates trading signals when all four indicators simultaneously provide buy or sell signals and visually presents these signals on the chart.
**How to Use:**
1. Buy signal: A buy signal is generated when there is a positive crossover in the Chaikin Oscillator, the IMI is above 50, the MACD line crosses the signal line upwards, and the price is above the Parabolic SAR. It is marked with a green arrow below the chart.
2. Sell signal: A sell signal is generated when there is a negative crossover in the Chaikin Oscillator, the IMI is below 50, the MACD line crosses the signal line downwards, and the price is below the Parabolic SAR. It is marked with a red arrow above the chart.
3. Turning zones: Areas with a high probability of transitioning from buy to sell or sell to buy are marked in yellow. These zones are determined by monitoring turning points in the Chaikin Oscillator, MACD, and Intraday Momentum Index.
**How to Apply:**
1. In your TradingView chart, go to the indicators menu and search for the "Vorse4" indicator.
2. Add the indicator to your chart. You will see green and red arrows indicating buy and sell signals, as well as yellow-colored areas representing turning zones on your chart.
3. Observe the buy and sell signals and trade according to your strategy. Analyze the performance of the indicator on historical data to evaluate the reliability of the signals.
**Note:** You can adjust the indicator parameters to balance the frequency and accuracy of buy and sell signals. Each strategy has a different risk-reward balance, so you can try different values to find the one that works best for you.
Improved Chaikin Money FlowChaikin Money Flow is a well-known Indicator for gauging buying/selling pressure. Marc Chaikin intended this to be used on the daily timeframe to capture the behavior of price action at or near the daily close when larger-scale actors influence the market. The calculation is straight forward as described within the built-in TradingView "CMF" indicator:
1. Period Money Flow Multiplier = ((Close - Low) - (High - Close)) /(High - Low)
2. Period Money Flow Volume = Period Money Flow Multiplier x Volume for the Period
3. Chaikin Money Flow = 21 Period Sum of Money Flow Volume / 21 Period Sum of Volume
There is, however, a problem with this algorithm: it does not account for daily gaps in price action. This leads to the indicator sometimes moving out-of-sync with price action and/or an under-emphasis of the magnitude change of the indicator relative to the change in price action. This is a significant problem for someone trying to read divergences against an underlying.
Note: I have never seen a published attempt to improve this indicator which is why I decided that there had to be a way to do it.
In order to mitigate this issue, I have taken the basic script provided by TradingView and made a key modification. If the open of a candle is outside the range of the previous candle, then the close of the previous candle is used as the "high" for the current candle (in the case of a gap down) or the "low" for the current candle (in the case of a gap up). However, if the close of the current candle exceeds the previous close, highs and lows for the current candle are calculated as normal. I believe this accounts for gaps in price action without significantly altering the original intent of the indicator.
I have made four other minor tweaks:
1. Default style is color coded area above and below the Zero Line
2. Range scaled to +/-100 instead of +/-1 (displays better on graph)
3. Set timeframe to Daily (as that is the timeframe for which this indicator was intended by Chaikin)
4. Length defaults to 21 (which is what Chaikin uses)

swami_money_flow
Description:
Chaikin Money Flow was an indicator that measuring of the volume-weighted average of accumulation and distribution over a specified period (as cited from Fidelity) developed by Marc Chaikin, aim to identify the changes in buying or selling momentum of an asset that leads to the increase or decrease of asset prices. In the original format, the cross above 0 of money flow depicts a buying pressure, while a cross under 0 means a selling pressure. In this indicator, the money flow was displayed in a swami chart, used for detecting a change not only in one specified period but instead in multiple periods at once. Sequencing from the very below, the indicator capture the shift in money flow in shorter lookback periods, going through the very above the indicator capture the change of money flow in greater lookback periods. The color is set to gradient from red as indicating the negative money flow, while green indicates a positive money flow. A smoothing function was given (from Ehlers smoothing function) to reduce noises.
Money Flow:
cmf = n-day sum of( (((close - low) - (high - close)) / (high - low)) x volume )/ n-day sum of volume
smoothed = (4*cmf + 3*cmf + 2*cmf + cmf )/10
Notes:
the Darker the color indicates the higher the value e.g. dark red means more selling pressure, and vice versa
if the color is a lineup in a one period, indicates a strong signal (both directions)
very below is for a shorter period, and increasing through to the longest (1 - 30 by default)
Other Example
Chaikin Volume AccumulatorThe Volume Accumulator is used in technical analysis to identify strengths and weaknesses in a market. It is derived from the On Balance Volume indicator, except that instead of giving all the volume to bears on red days and bulls on green days it gives a proportional amount to both depending on the relative close price. As with many trading indicators, classic divergence between the VA and the close price may indicate an incoming reversal.
As a general rule of thumb:
Price Up:
VA up = clear uptrend
VA sideways = moderate uptrend
VA down = weak uptrend
Price Sideways:
VA up = accumulation
VA sideways = no bias
VA down = distribution
Price Down
VA up = weak downtrend
VA sideways = moderate downtrend
VA down = strong downtrend
Aggregated Chaikin Money Flow - InFinitoModified Version of In-Built Chaikin Money Flow Indicator. Aggregated Volume is used for it's calculation + a couple of other features.
Aggregation code originally from Crypt0rus
***The indicator can be used for any coin/symbol to aggregate volume , but it has to be set up manually***
***The indicator can be used with specific symbol data only by disabling the aggregation option, which allows for it to be used on any symbol***
- Calculated based on Aggregated Volume instead of by symbol volume. Using aggregated data makes it more accurate and allows to compare volume flow between different kinds of markets (Spot, Futures , Perpetuals, Futures+Perpetuals and All Volume ).
- As well, in order to make the data as accurate as possible, the data from each exchange aggregated is normalized to report always in terms of 1 BTC. In case this indicator is used for another symbol, the calculations can be adjusted manually to make it always report data in terms of 1 contract/coin.
- Added Moving Average ( SMA , EMA , WMA , RMA, VWMA) that can be plotted to the CMF
- Changed 0 line to a small range which tends to be more relevant than the 0 line. This range can be manually modified
Things to look for:
- Divergences: Can be a very good reversal signal
- MA crossovers: Can be a very good confluent Buy/Sell signal
- Center range retests: CMF is normally defined as bullish above 0 and bearish below 0. In this case it is above or below the middle range. Even if the start of the move was missed. The retest of the middle range can give very good entries.
- Confluence of the latter
+ Breadth & Volumenote* If you've used my "+ Rate of Change Indicator", I am updating that without the OBV, which has been moved here. Just an FYI.
This "indicator" is basically a variety of indicators that measure volume, or accumulation/distribution. There's a bit of a story about how this came about but
it's not that interesting, so I'll spare you.
Indicators from which you may choose here are On Balance Volume (OBV), Money Flow Index (MFI), Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), Chaikin Oscillator, and Positive & Negative Net Volume.
I'll give a brief overview of these below, and if you want to educate yourself further on them you may. There are many web resources for that.
Most people are probably familiar with OBV. It's one of the more commonly used volume indicators, especially in the crypto crowd (at least amongst those traders I follow). It's basically a cumulative (doesn't oscillate around a midpoint) momentum indicator that measures volume of the current period versus volume of the previous period and adds it if price closed higher, but subtracts it if price closes lower. It's another way of using volume to confirm trend.
The MFI is a momentum indicator that measures the flow of money into and out of an asset over some period of time (user input). It's calculated using the RSI, so it can be used similarly to RSI (divergences, overbought, oversold, etc.), but of course unlike the RSI it's calculated primarily using volume and comparing the most recent candle close to the previous one (similar to OBV).
CMF is a volume-weighted average of accumulation and distribution over a some period of time (typically 21). It's a way of measuring accumulation versus
distribution in an asset, and oscillates around a zero line. You would use it similarly to any other oscillator, in that you can look for divergences, and general positive or negative momentum.
Chaikin Oscillator is basically a MACD (without signal line) of the accumulation and distribution index (or line--which is somehow different than simply accumulation and distribution). I haven't looked into these differences deeply, but if you look below at the calculations, and substituted 'ad' for 'accdist' you get very different readings. I actually did that, and what it looks like it would do is turn the actual Oscillator into a MACD signal line. So, by substituting 'ad' for 'accdist' (or the accumulation/distribution index) you produce a signal line of the Chaikin Oscillator.
Anyway, all that confusion out of the way, as I said, it's a MACD on the accumulation and distribution index, therefore it is another zero line oscillator, and similarly to CMF, it's a way of measuring price movements in the chart versus a/d. The zero line isn't just any old zero line, however, it is actually the accumulation distribution line. I've made an OBV version of this by substituting the OBV for AD, so if you prefer OBV maybe you will like that.
Pos. & Neg Net Volume is actually an indicator I had seen made by RafaelZioni. It basically takes net volume, calculates a cumulative of that, then subtracts a moving average of some period from the cumulative net volume in order to create a volume oscillator. Use it like the other oscillators!
Added Donchian Channels, moving averages, Bollinger Bands, colored everything, and alerts.
Enjoy!
Below I will post images with the different indicators, everything on default settings (except for lookback period, which I have adjusted to my personal preferences).
Above is an image with the MFI being compared to the RSI since they are very similar (MFI being basically a volume derivative of the RSI).
Chaikin Money Flow set to lookback of 13. You could probably extend that a bit if you wanted to smooth the line more.

Chaikin Money Flow + MACD + ATRHere I present you on of Trade Pro's Trading Idea: Chaikin Money Flow + MACD + ATR.
This strategy is not as profitable as it can be seen in one of his videos. In the forex market, the strategy could reach a maximum of 35% profitability.
I have, as some of my followers have requested, created an overview of the current position, risk and leverage settings in the form of a table.
Furthermore, one can again swap between short and long positions.
It is now possible to select or deselect individual indicators.
I have chosen the ATR alone as a take profit stop loss, as in his strategy.
A position is only triggered as soon as all prerequisites have been fulfilled and a command is executed. This prevents false triggering by bots and repainting.

Finally, when this happens, the Money Flow Index must be above the zero line.
Short
Contrary to the premise of long positions.
EXIT
ATR Exit
The value of ATR at the time of buying is multiplied by the value entered in "Profit factor ATR" and "Stop factor ATR". As soon as the price reaches this value, it is closed.
Important
The script must be optimized for each coin or currency pair.
I will publish a guide to the strategy shortly. There I will explain how the table works and how to set the strategy correctly.
The results of the strategy are without commissions and leverage.
If you have any questions or feedback, please let me know in the comments.
CMF Velocity with 200EMA StrategyThis is a demonstration of my new Indicator - CMF Velocity - in a profitable trading strategy. It is able to take shorts when the close is less than the 200 EMA, and longs when the close is greater than the 200 EMA.
CMF VelocityCMF Velocity informs the trader of the speed at which the CMF Indicator is changing. This allows the trader to anticipate reversals in price action. Buy and Sell signals are generated when the value crosses the zero-line. This indicator is best used in combination with another indicator (Stochastic, MACD), although it does work quite nicely by itself. The default values work adequately, but some tuning may be needed for best results.

Griffin-Chaikin Money FlowThis is an adaptation of the popular Chaikin Money Flow. The original calculation looks at closing price in relation to high and low. I developed a new calculation that includes the relationship
of close and open. One issue with the original calculation is that if the open = close then the calculation omits that bar. My calculation would include that bar and still calculate a positive or
negative money flow for that period based on the relationship of close to high and low for the period.
One major difference is that the CMF will return values between -1 and 1, my calculation is not range bound therefore absolute values for money flow will be much higher depending on the equity being charted.
In general the overall trend will be the same however there may be minor differences if there are many periods on the chart where there is a doji rather than a normal candlestick.
