Representing Money Flow Index Values as Candlesticks

Summary

The document describes an indicator that displays Money Flow Index (MFI) calculations as a sequence of candlesticks. Instead of presenting MFI only in its conventional indicator form, it processes the relevant price time series with the MFI algorithm and renders the resulting values as candle-like bars.

The proposed benefit is visual: this representation may make the indicator more informative for analysis in some situations. The text offers no calculation details, trading rules, chart examples beyond a figure reference, or empirical comparison with a standard MFI display. It therefore explains a visualization concept rather than demonstrating a strategy or establishing that the format improves decisions. Traders would need to inspect the indicator's implementation and test its usefulness in their own analytical process.

Key ideas

• The indicator applies the Money Flow Index algorithm to price time-series data.
• It displays the resulting MFI values as a sequence of candlesticks.
• The author suggests this format can aid analysis in some situations.
• No trading rules or comparative evidence are provided.
