Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) is an indicator that gauges the buying (accumulation) against the selling (distribution) pressure of a security over a particular period<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Often compared with other technical indicators, such as On Balance Volume (OBV) and Money Flow Index (MFI), Chaikin Money Flow is a popular volume-weighted oscillator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, we look at the best ways to use the Chaikin Money Flow, explore strategies based on the indicator, and list its advantages and disadvantages. We will also compare the CMF to similar indicators like the OBV and MFI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The CMF is based on the idea that the closer the closing price is to a security\u2019s high, the stronger the buying pressure (more accumulation has taken place). Conversely, the closer the closing price is to the bottom, the stronger the distribution.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, the value of the CMF will be positive if the security\u2019s price constantly reaches new highs above the bar\u2019s midpoint when the volume increases. On the other hand, the indicator will turn negative if the security\u2019s price continuously closes below the bar\u2019s midpoint when the volume rises.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed by stock analyst Mark Chaikin, the CMF is similar to the Moving Average Convergence Divergence<\/a> (MACD) indicator, which is more popular among investors and analysts. The CMF is similar to the MACD because it utilizes two individual exponentially weighted moving averages (EMAs) to measure momentum.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CMF analyzes the difference between a 3-day EMA and the 10-day EMA of the accumulation\/distribution line, which is actually a separate indicator Chaikin created to measure money inflows and how they affect security prices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a chart, the Chaikin Money Flow indicator can be valued between +100 and -100. Areas between 0 and 100 represent accumulation, while those below 0 represent distribution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cases when the indicator ranges above\/below 0 for a period of 6 to 9 months (known as money flow persistency) can be signs of significant buying or selling pressures by large institutions. Such situations have a much more pronounced impact on price action. <\/p>\n\n\n
