The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator is designed to identify periods of accumulation and distribution for a security. When the CMF value is above zero, it signals net accumulation, indicating buying pressure. Conversely, values below zero suggest distribution or selling pressure. The indicator’s sensitivity can be adjusted: settings above 30 reduce sensitivity, producing fewer but higher-quality signals, while settings below 20 increase sensitivity, resulting in more market noise. Key signals include a continued uptrend when the CMF crosses the zero line from above, generating buy signals, and a continued downtrend when it crosses from below, generating sell signals. This tool helps traders assess buying and selling momentum to inform trading decisions.
