hi lisa, I would like to know the formula that Biryini uses.... I believe the Biryini formula goes like this: Sum of +(number of shares * price traded on uptick) & -(number of shares * price traded on downtick). This is total money flow. Block money flow only counts the trades of 10,000 shares or greater. Non block only 9999 or less. Total money flow = block + non block. Zero tick trades are not counted. You need every tick to calculate this and those data feeds are expensive. Cheapest I've found is 250$/month. For others that maybe using this info to trade: Positive money flow during accompanying a rise in price is to be expected. And vice versa. Divergences are interesting. Positive money flow during a price decline is rare and usually resolves with a rise in price quickly. Negative money flow during a runup is the more common divergence. It can take a long time to resolve. And it can be resolved by positive money flow with a price decline never occuring. This indicator is considered worthless unless the stock is highly liquid. An average volume of at least 1 million/day and preferably much more is needed. And like any indicator, it tends to work for better for some stocks than others.
