Hi Haim, tick money flow seems to be less useful on Nasdaq stocks, possibly because of the nature of the market maker system. If a mm gets a buy order he does not want to fill he buys stock from another mm first and then sells it to the customer, resulting in two volume ticks for one order (vice versa on sell orders). This skews the figures. I noticed some huge negative money flow days on MSFT, CSCO and a few others on numerous days throughout January, and here they are making new highs. Vitas
