Comparing Seven Money Flow Indicator
Since Joseph Granville presented the first money flow indicator in 1963, other technicians have attempted to improve on Granville’s original formula or devise a completely new approach using volume to predict market price moves. On-balance volume (Ob v), Chaikin money flow (Cm f), accumulation/distribution, volume price trend (vp t), volume oscillator (VO), ease of movement, negative volume index, positive volume index, Klinger oscillator, volume flow indicator (vf i), and the money flow index (mf i) are all indicators that technicians have developed to quantify the relationship between price and volume. Yes, there are many. Bearing in mind that besides the stock chart and other price-based indicators there is only room on a 19-inch monitor for one or two volume indicators, you will have to choose from more than 15 money flow indicators for your standard layouts. An even more critical decision would be choosing a volume indicator for your trading system, given that two different indicators can produce contradicting signals.
