WHAT IT DOES

Core Features

A visual Money Flow Index with instant-read trend labels, overbought/oversold zones and background coloring. Built to show you market sentiment at a glance.

Color-Coded MFI Line

The MFI line paints green when above the 50 line (bullish means money is flowing into the market) and red when below the 50 line (bearish means money is flowing out). This gives you an immediate visual read on whether buyers or sellers are dominant based on volume-weighted price action.

Trend Background Coloring

The background paints green when MFI is holding above the 50 line (bullish trend) and red when holding below (bearish trend). This provides a persistent visual backdrop so you can see the trend at a glance without reading the line value directly.

Overbought & Oversold Zones

When MFI rises above the 75 level, it indicates a possible top or overbought conditions where money flow is extremely high and may be due for a pullback. When MFI drops below the 25 level, it indicates a possible bottom or oversold conditions where selling may be exhausted and a bounce is likely.

Real-Time Trend Labels

A label on the right side shows three things: whether the overall trend is bullish or bearish, whether there is a possible bottom or top, and whether the current MFI is going up or down. The label updates in real time, changes color in sync with the MFI line, and flashes between red and green on trend changes to grab your attention. Green means money is coming in, red means money is going out, blue means neutral.

The labels can be turned on or off in the settings for better viewing on the mobile app or a cleaner display.

INTERPRETATION GUIDE

How to Read the Money Flow Index

MFI Zones

Label Colors

Trading With MFI

Use MFI as a gauge of market sentiment. When MFI is above 50 and trending upward, the market has bullish money flow so look for entries in the bullish direction. When MFI reaches overbought territory (above 75), be cautious about new longs and consider tightening stops. When MFI reaches oversold territory (below 25), watch for reversal signs for potential long entries. MFI works best as confirmation alongside other indicators.

GOOD TO KNOW

Important Notes & Limitations

MFI requires volume data. Tickers without reported volume will not display an accurate Money Flow Index reading.
Overbought (above 75) and oversold (below 25) conditions do not guarantee an immediate reversal. MFI can stay in extreme territory for extended periods during strong trends. Use these zones as alerts to watch for confirmation, not as standalone entry signals.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

MFI measures whether money is flowing into or out of a market by combining price and volume data. When MFI is above 50, more money is entering than leaving, bullish sentiment. When below 50, more money is leaving, bearish sentiment.
MFI above 75 indicates overbought conditions, money flow is extremely high and a pullback may be coming. MFI below 25 indicates oversold conditions, selling may be exhausted and a bounce is likely. These are warnings, not guaranteed reversal points.
The label shows three things: the overall trend (bullish or bearish), whether there is a possible top or bottom, and whether MFI is currently going up or down. It updates in real time and changes color, green for money flowing in, red for money flowing out, blue for neutral.
This is a standalone MFI with overbought/oversold zones, background coloring and detailed trend labels. The MFI + RSI + Momentum Trend Label combines MFI with RSI and normalized momentum in a single pane for a multi-indicator consensus view. Use this for a deeper MFI-specific read, and the combined indicator when you want all three at once.
It works on all markets including stocks, crypto, futures and forex, and on all timeframes. MFI requires volume data, so tickers without reported volume will not produce accurate readings.
