Finite Volume Elements Oscillator for Money Flow and Trend Signals
Summary
The document explains the Finite Volume Elements oscillator as a money-flow indicator intended to distinguish accumulation from distribution. It describes positive readings as bullish and negative readings as bearish, and says divergence between price and the indicator may warn of a trend change. The calculation forms a volume-weighted directional measure, smooths it over a selected period, and derives a separate signal line using configurable averaging methods. The directional input depends on price movement, prior-period prices, and volatility-based cutoffs constructed from intraday and interday variation.
The document supplies equations and names four configurable parameters: the FVE period and method, plus the signal-line period and method. It does not present market examples, performance tests, recommended parameter values, or rules for entering and exiting positions. The stated interpretations should therefore be treated as indicator heuristics rather than verified trading results; the translated description also does not resolve how to handle implementation details or data edge cases.
Key ideas
- FVE is presented as a volume-based indicator of accumulation and distribution.
- Positive values are described as accumulation, while negative values are described as distribution.
- Price and indicator divergence may signal a possible trend change.
- The calculation uses a volatility-based cutoff and smoothed volume-weighted directional values.
- The document provides no empirical validation or complete trading rules.
