Volume flow indicator by Markos Katsanos

Provided by Precision Trading Systems for MultiCharts and Tradestation

The many uses of the Volume flow indicator VFI clearly displayed in chart examples

 

1. When VFI is above zero this denotes a bullish condition. (Trend definition)

2. When VFI is below zero this denotes a bearish condition. (Trend definition)

3. As a divergences indicator,It can be in the usual way as one would use other oscillators such as Demand Index or Money Flow MFI and Qstick indicators

4. One use not highlighted by most texts is the use of "V" formations in VFI which when highly correlated with the price of flag up the trend turning points

 in a timely manner. These observations are best when a dramatic rise of fall in the price and the VFI precede the V formation.

5. Topping and bottoming patterns such as head and shoulders and double tops which form in the VFI often herald a trend reversal in the underlying

 instrument before it shows in the actual price. Pleas see images below.

6. Rumour has it that Mr Katsanos made $700,000 in a single day from a signal generated by the volume flow indicator.

7. As an overbought or oversold oscillator in the same way as RSI would be used.

8. IMPORTANT NOTE When an extreme high reading ( overbought ) is observed on the VFI it can often be an early warning to herald a major uptrend is

 starting and traders entering short on these readings must exercise extreme caution.

9. Obviously the same applies vice versa when extreme oversold readings occur.
