1. Market Facilitation Index (MFI)
- The Market Facilitation Index (MFI) is a measure of how much the market is willing to move the price. It is a more truthful measure of market action than any stochastic, RSI (Relative Strength Index) or any other momentum indicator. It uses a simple formula which is High - Low / Volume.
What Does the MFI Indicator Tell You?
With this indicator, you do not look at the values of the indicator, but instead the price changes at any given moment.
- Green MFI Bar - tell us the market is on the move.
- Brown MFI Bar - this is known as a fade and the markets have lost interest in moving any further.
- Blue MFI Bar - this is known as a fake as the markets move progressively, but it is not supported by volume.
- Pink MFI Bar - this is known as a squat and it will appear at the end of a trend, this is the strongest potential money maker.
