Chaikin Money Flow Indicator (CMF)

---

Summary

The Chaikin Money Flow Indicator (CMF) is, in my opinion, one of the most powerful trend indicators out there. The Chaikin Money Flow Indicator was developed by Marc Chaikin in the late 90’s for S&C. I searched high and low for a TradeStation version of this, but came up short. So this one is a custom conversion. I tested it against StockCharts.com and it performed very similarly

Usage

Chaikin Money Flow is a Bull and Bear trend indicator. Basically the value of the CMF doesn’t tell you much but whether it is positive or negative tells you if the stock is trending bullishly, or bearlishly. Length of time in the bear or bull trend is also very important. If the Chaikin Money Flow indicator drops from bear to bull or bull to bear for a short time and returns to it’s previous reading, it is thought to mean nothing and can be ignored, provided that your other indicators agree. Never use the Chaikin Money Flow by itself, and always use the Chaikin Money flow with another indicator to confirm. I personally use RSI, Slo Sto and Williams %R along with Chaikin Money Flow. Good Luck and post a comment below if you have any updates or experiences using the Chaikin Money Flow indicator

   I just downloaded the CMF for TS but it will not work on any other chart but the workspace you created. Also, I cannot get it to read any other symbol except the $compx that it came preloaded with. Anything I need to do different? Last, what is a normal donation range? have never done this before. thanks!

   I suspect that a donation will increase your chances of getting what you want, Jacques.

    Any chance you have one of these for NINJA? I know NINJA has the basic Chaikin indicators. However will be SO much better to have a histogram version. Any chance?
