• SIDEBAR: The Money Flow Index

  ARTICLE SYNOPSIS ...How to calculate the money flow index, a volume-weighted form of the RSI. The money flow index (MFI) is a volume-weighted form of the relative strength index (RSI). Instead of using up closes versus down closes, the MFI compares today's average price to yesterday's average price and then weighs the average price by volume to calculate money flow (MF). The ratio of the summed positive and negative money flows are then normalized to be on a scale of zero to 100. The following are steps with which to build a 14-period MFI, using as an example the price data for Boeing (BA)....

Being armed with such knowledge could help you to make trading decisions by knowing the characteristics of your favorite markets.

• The Option Premium Ratio And The DJIA by Christopher Cadbury

  ARTICLE SYNOPSIS ...The Option Premium Ratio And The DJIA by Christopher Cadbury The discussion on the option premium ratio continues, with more examples on forecasting short-term movements in the DJIA. Previously, I introduced the option premium ratio, which is the ratio of price premiums on puts versus calls. If it seems familiar, there's a good reason: It's the fifth psychological variable on the General Markets Indicators page in Investor's Business Daily.
