Multi Timeframe Altered Money Flow Index by CoffeeShopCrypto

933
Money Flow Index is a long used tool in trading markets, understanding to where money is moving and most importantly when its going there.
One of the biggest challenges was the when part. Because seeing it on your current trading chart timeframe is easy but it gets difficult if youre attempting a top-down-analysis of market structure vs price performance.

The new formula presented by CoffeeshopCrypto is a key solution to this timeframe analysis issue. Seems like I may have solved the "glitch-In-The-Matrix".
The issue was always setting a secondary MFI on your chart and telling the system you wanted to watch the 1 hour MFI from a 5 minute chart.

To do this you need to wait for 12 candles to close on your 5 minute chart before you can get a 1hour MFI value. The move may have already happend and you may be too late. If there was only a better faster way to see the changing values of the High Timeframe Money Flow Index in real time without changing chart times and losing place......oh wait.....there is one now!

This tool allows you to tell it what timeframe you are looking at,
and what you want to compare it to.
It runs the calculation in the background automatically to give you the real time values of your High Timeframe chart setting on the chart you are looking at.

How to trade Long
When both the LFT and HTF Money flow cross above ZERO, they are both in uptrend

How to trade Short
When both the LFT and HTF Money flow cross below ZERO, they are both in downtrend

What happens when Low timeframe is inside the high timeframe:
If High timeframe MFI is below zero but the LFT MFI is above it and still below zero, you have lost your short term downtrend. The opposite is true when the high timeframe MFI is above zero.

A strong constant comparative trend is when your low timeframe MFI is leading your High timeframe MFI.

Personal Settings:
In my usage, i find it best to multiply my trading chart timeframe by 3 and use that number as my high timeframe MFI setting

This works on ANY chart time you want. For example you are not locked to the standard built TradingView chart times.
If you trade on a 7 minute timeframe, you can set your HTF to 21.
7 * 3 = 21
