money flow index
MFI. An indicator used to show the percentage of a stock's price on up days compared to the total of up and down days. It is an oscillator of money flow. MFI can be calculated following these steps:
Typical price = (high + low + close)/3 Money flow = typical price * volume Money ratio = positive money flow / negative money flow MFI = 100 - (100 / (1+ money ratio)) OR MFI = positive money flow / (positive and negative money flow) * 100 (Both formulas arrive at the same MFI value.)
Values below 50 indicate that the stock is undersold, while values above 50 indicate that a stock is overbought.
