What it shows
Money flow index (0-100) in a pane: an RSI weighted by volume.
How to read it
Part of Swiftedge Plus: it runs in Depth on the real trades and order book, with its own settings. Members turn it on under Indicators; the guide explains every setting.
How it's calculated
MFI is RSI with volume. For each candle, money flow is the typical price times the volume; it counts as positive when the typical price rose from the previous candle and negative when it fell. MFI = 100 - 100 / (1 + positive flow / negative flow) over 14 candles.
What it can't tell you
MFI uses total volume, not who was aggressive, and it can stay above 80 or below 20 in strong trends.

FAQ
How is MFI different from RSI?
RSI uses closes only. MFI weights each move by its volume, so a move on heavy volume counts more.
What do 80 and 20 mean?
Money flow has been one-sided over the last 14 candles. The table reports the zone, not a signal.
Can I change the length?
Yes, from 2 to 100 candles.
