MFI or Money Flow Index as a strategy is quite similar to RSI or Relative Strength Index. The key differentiator for MFI is the consideration of volume.
Money Flow Index oscillator:
MFI uses both price and volume to measure buying and selling pressure.
MFI oscillates between 0 to 100.
Intuitively, the volume-weighted feature makes MFI a comparatively better 'Lead' indicator than the RSI.
Most reversals can be identified and acted upon best through the Money Flow Index oscillator.
MFI above 80 indicates Overbought territory. It suggests that the underlying asset is driven by a buying pressure. MFI below 20 indicates Oversold territory. It indicates a selling pressure.
*MFI crossing over 20 gives a BUY signal.
*MFI crossing down the 80 mark gives a SELL signal.
Stop loss should be used as a precautionary measure. Trailing stop loss can be used to let the profits ride, while ensuring safety in case of trend reversals.
