CMF and Scaled EFI OverlayCMF and Scaled EFI Overlay Indicator Overview The CMF and Scaled EFI Overlay indicator combines the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) and a scaled version of the Elder Force Index (EFI) into a single chart. This allows traders to analyze both indicators simultaneously, facilitating better insights into market momentum and volume dynamics , specifically focusing on buying/selling pressure and momentum , without compromising the integrity of either indicator. Purpose Chaikin Money Flow (CMF): Measures buying and selling pressure by evaluating price and volume over a specified period. It indicates accumulation (buying pressure) when values are positive and distribution (selling pressure) when values are negative. Elder Force Index (EFI): Combines price changes and volume to assess the momentum behind market moves. Positive values indicate upward momentum (prices rising with strong volume), while negative values indicate downward momentum (prices falling with strong volume). By scaling the EFI to match the amplitude of the CMF, this indicator enables a direct comparison between pressure and momentum , preserving their shapes and zero crossings. Traders can observe the relationship between price movements, volume, and momentum more effectively, aiding in decision-making. Understanding Pressure vs. Momentum Chaikin Money Flow (CMF): - Indicates the level of demand (buying pressure) or supply (selling pressure) in the market based on volume and price movements. - Accumulation: When institutional or large investors are buying significant amounts of an asset, leading to an increase in buying pressure. - Distribution: When these investors are selling off their holdings, increasing selling pressure. Elder Force Index (EFI): - Measures the strength and speed of price movements, indicating how forceful the current trend is. - Positive Momentum: Prices are rising quickly, indicating a strong uptrend. - Negative Momentum: Prices are falling rapidly, indicating a strong downtrend. Understanding the difference between pressure and momentum is crucial. For example, a market may exhibit strong buying pressure (positive CMF) but weak momentum (low EFI), suggesting accumulation without significant price movement yet. Features Overlay of CMF and Scaled EFI: Both indicators are plotted on the same chart for easy comparison of pressure and momentum dynamics. Customizable Parameters: Adjust lengths for CMF and EFI calculations and fine-tune the scaling factor for optimal alignment. Preserved Indicator Integrity: The scaling method preserves the shape and zero crossings of the EFI, ensuring accurate analysis. How It Works CMF Calculation: - Calculates the Money Flow Multiplier (MFM) and Money Flow Volume (MFV) to assess buying and selling pressure. - CMF is computed by summing the MFV over the specified length and dividing by the sum of volume over the same period: CMF = (Sum of MFV over n periods) / (Sum of Volume over n periods) EFI Calculation: - Calculates the EFI using the Exponential Moving Average (EMA) of the price change multiplied by volume: EFI = EMA(n, Change in Close * Volume) Scaling the EFI: - The EFI is scaled by multiplying it with a user-defined scaling factor to match the CMF's amplitude. Plotting: - Both the CMF and the scaled EFI are plotted on the same chart. - A zero line is included for reference, aiding in identifying crossovers and divergences. Indicator Settings Inputs CMF Length (`cmf_length`): - Default: 20 - Description: The number of periods over which the CMF is calculated. A higher value smooths the indicator but may delay signals. EFI Length (`efi_length`): - Default: 13 - Description: The EMA length for the EFI calculation. Adjusting this value affects the sensitivity of the EFI to price changes. EFI Scaling Factor (`efi_scaling_factor`): - Default: 0.000001 - Description: A constant used to scale the EFI to match the CMF's amplitude. Fine-tuning this value ensures the indicators align visually. How to Adjust the EFI Scaling Factor Start with the Default Value: - Begin with the default scaling factor of `0.000001`. Visual Inspection: - Observe the plotted indicators. If the EFI appears too large or small compared to the CMF, proceed to adjust the scaling factor. Fine-Tune the Scaling Factor: - Increase or decrease the scaling factor incrementally (e.g., `0.000005`, `0.00001`, `0.00005`) until the amplitudes of the CMF and EFI visually align. - The optimal scaling factor may vary depending on the asset and timeframe. Verify Alignment: - Ensure that the scaled EFI preserves the shape and zero crossings of the original EFI. - Overlay the original EFI (if desired) to confirm alignment. How to Use the Indicator Analyze Buying/Selling Pressure and Momentum: - Positive CMF (>0): Indicates accumulation (buying pressure). - Negative CMF (<0): Indicates distribution (selling pressure). - Positive EFI: Indicates positive momentum (prices rising with strong volume). - Negative EFI: Indicates negative momentum (prices falling with strong volume). Look for Indicator Alignment: - Both CMF and EFI Positive: - Suggests strong bullish conditions with both buying pressure and upward momentum. - Both CMF and EFI Negative: - Indicates strong bearish conditions with selling pressure and downward momentum. Identify Divergences: - CMF Positive, EFI Negative: - Buying pressure exists, but momentum is negative; potential for a bullish reversal if momentum shifts. - CMF Negative, EFI Positive: - Selling pressure exists despite rising prices; caution advised as it may indicate a potential bearish reversal. Confirm Signals with Other Analysis: - Use this indicator in conjunction with other technical analysis tools (e.g., trend lines, support/resistance levels) to confirm trading decisions. Example Usage Scenario 1: Bullish Alignment - CMF Positive: Indicates accumulation (buying pressure). - EFI Positive and Increasing: Shows strengthening upward momentum. - Interpretation: - Strong bullish signal suggesting that buyers are active, and the price is likely to continue rising. - Action: - Consider entering a long position or adding to existing ones. Scenario 2: Bearish Divergence - CMF Negative: Indicates distribution (selling pressure). - EFI Positive but Decreasing: Momentum is positive but weakening. - Interpretation: - Potential bearish reversal; price may be rising but underlying selling pressure suggests caution. - Action: - Be cautious with long positions; consider tightening stop-losses or preparing for a possible trend reversal. Tips Adjust for Different Assets: - The optimal scaling factor may differ across assets due to varying price and volume characteristics. - Always adjust the scaling factor when analyzing a new asset. Monitor Indicator Crossovers: - Crossings above or below the zero line can signal potential trend changes. Watch for Divergences: - Divergences between the CMF and EFI can provide early warning signs of trend reversals. Combine with Other Indicators: - Enhance your analysis by combining this overlay with other indicators like moving averages, RSI, or Ichimoku Cloud. Limitations Scaling Factor Sensitivity: - An incorrect scaling factor may misalign the indicators, leading to inaccurate interpretations. - Regular adjustments may be necessary when switching between different assets or timeframes. Not a Standalone Indicator: - Should be used as part of a comprehensive trading strategy. - Always consider other market factors and indicators before making trading decisions.

MFI + RSI + MOM With Bull & Bear Trend LabelMOMENTUM + MONEY FLOW INDEX + RELATIVE STRENGTH INDEX WITH BULL & BEAR LABELS This is a combination of 3 popular indicators. Momentum(MOM), Money Flow Index(MFI) and Relative Strength Index(RSI) along with color changing labels that tell you each indicator's current trend. The middle white line shows the level that each indicator needs to stay above to be bullish and below for bearish. Watch for all three indicators to cross and hold above or below the mid line for big moves. It is important to note that these indicators do not need to be going up to be bullish or down to be bearish. They just need to hold above or below the mid line to understand the overall trend. The momentum indicator is the most relevant in my opinion. If it is holding above the mid line steadily, usually the overall trend will continue upwards so look to buy the dips if the momentum cloud is staying above the white line and vice versa. It is also important to note that the default settings for this indicator are the 100 period as I find it to be super relevant across most charts but these numbers can be changed in the indicator settings. Since momentum swings wildly past the normal 0-100 range, it is important to note that the momentum line has been “normalized” to stay within this same range as the rsi and mfi. So if you look at a normal momentum indicator side by side with this indicator it will not look the same however, I find it to be a very good indicator of overall direction so I know the current market sentiment even when price is diverging from the indicator directions. All of the colors, sources and lengths can be easily customized in the indicator settings input tab. ***HOW TO USE*** When Momentum is above the mid line, it is bullish. When Momentum is below the mid line, it is bearish. A label on the right side will update in real time to tell you if momentum is Bullish or Bearish for faster recognition of the trend. When RSI is above the mid line, it is bullish. When Momentum is below the mid line it is bearish. A label on the right side will update in real time to tell you if RSI is Bullish or Bearish for faster recognition of the trend. When MFI is above the mid line, it is bullish. When MFI is below the mid line it is bearish. A label on the right side will update in real time to tell you if MFI is Bullish or Bearish for faster recognition of the trend. This indicator was built to help you quickly identify the Bullish or Bearish nature of the current trend with a live color changing label so you can glance at the label and understand it's direction without analyzing the indicator data. ***MARKETS*** This indicator can be used as a signal on all markets, including stocks, crypto, futures and forex. ***TIMEFRAMES*** This mom + mfi + rsi indicator can be used on all timeframes. ***TIPS*** Try using numerous indicators of ours on your chart so you can instantly see the bullish or bearish trend of multiple indicators in real time without having to analyze the data. Some of our favorites are our Auto Fibonacci, Directional Movement Index, Volume Profile, Auto Support And Resistance and Money Flow Index in combination with this indicator. They all have real time Bullish and Bearish labels as well so you can immediately understand each indicator's trend.

Money Flow Index With Bullish & Bearish SignalsMONEY FLOW INDEX WITH BULLISH AND BEARISH SIGNALS Money Flow Index shows whether money is coming into the market or going out of the market. This can be used to gauge market sentiment and whether people are buying or selling at the current price. ***HOW TO USE*** If the MFI line is green, it is above the 50 line and in a bullish trend. If the MFI line is red, it is below the 50 line and in a bearish trend. If the background color is green, Money Flow is in a bullish trend, holding above the 50 line. If the background color is red, Money Flow is in a bearish trend, holding below the 50 line. If the MFI is above the 75 level it indicates a possible top or overbought conditions. If the MFI is below the 25 level it indicates a possible bottom or oversold conditions. ***BULLISH/BEARISH LABELS*** There is also a label on the right side that tells you whether the overall trend is bullish or bearish, if there is a possible bottom or top and if the current money flow index is going up or down. This table updates in real time and changes colors so you can get an easy, quick interpretation of the current money flow without having to look at the data so you can make faster decisions on whether to enter or exit a trade. The flashing from red to green or the opposite also grabs your attention so you know immediately if there is a change in trend. The table changes colors in sync with the MFI line and it's trends and bottom/top areas. Green means money is coming in. Red means money is going out. Blue means a neutral amount of money flow. ***MARKETS*** This indicator can be used as a signal on all markets, including stocks, crypto, futures and forex. ***TIMEFRAMES*** This Money Flow Index indicator can be used on all timeframes. ***TIPS*** Try using numerous indicators of ours on your chart so you can instantly see the bullish or bearish trend of multiple indicators in real time without having to analyze the data. Some of our favorites are our Auto Fibonacci, DMI, Momentum, Auto Support And Resistance and Volume Profile in combination with this Money Flow Index. They all have real time Bullish and Bearish labels as well so you can immediately understand each indicator's trend.
