Chaikin Money Flow
The Chaikin Money Flow indicator was developed by Marc Chaikin and uses the price action and volume to identify if the asset is being bought or sold i.e. money flowing in or out.
The principal behind the Chaikin Money Flow indicator is that during bullish markets, the price closes in the upper half of the trading range with volume increasing. During bearish markets the expectation is that the price closes in the lower half of the trading range for the volume increasing.
As per the Accumulation Distribution indicator, the Chaikin Money Flow indicator is useful for identifying trend changes when the price diverges from the Chaikin Money Flow indicator trend. Unlike the Accumulation Distribution indicator where the entire data series is used to calculate the indicator value, the Chaikin Money Flow indicator is calculated over a finite number of periods therefore it tends to oscillate within trading ranges, for example between 0.2 and -0.2 in the following chart:
The trading range can be potentially used to identify points of potential price reversal. Alternatively you may wish to consider using it as the source data for Bollinger Bands to help identify points of reversal for the trading range; click here to learn more about creating custom indicators.
