The PFO Price Flow Oscillator is a technical analysis tool designed to provide traders with a structured view of market momentum and volatility. It combines several market factors into a single normalized oscillator, allowing users to interpret price action more clearly in different conditions. The indicator is free to use and can be applied to Forex, commodities, indices, and other assets.

How It Works

The PFO oscillator calculates a normalized value (0–100) based on:

ATR (Average True Range): Scales readings in line with market volatility.

Moving Averages (EMA/SMA): Provide a trend baseline for momentum comparison.

Volume Analysis: Compares current activity with rolling averages to highlight stronger moves.

Price Action Factors:

Body size vs. range (candlestick strength).

Wick analysis (buying/selling pressure).

Directional bias (bullish vs. bearish movement).

Momentum vs. ATR: Measures deviation from trend relative to volatility.

Price-Move Weighting: Highlights significant bar-to-bar changes.

Smoothing & Normalization: Filters out noise and standardizes results on a 0–100 scale.

Reading the Oscillator

Above 75: Indicates stronger bullish conditions.

Below 25: Indicates stronger bearish conditions.

Around 50: Suggests neutral or consolidating market behavior.
