Trading Strategy with MFI & Super Trend What is MFI? The Money Flow Index (MFI) is a typical oscillator (between 0 and 100) that uses price and volume for identifying overbought or oversold conditions in securities. As a momentum oscillator that incorporates volume, MFI works well to identify reversals and price extremes. The question will arise that how it is different from RSI? As the MFI incorporates both price and volume data, as opposed to just price it has been referred to as the volume-weighted RSI. The reason for this comparison is that MFI uses a similar formula to RSI. RSI uses the ratio of average gains to average losses, but the MFI incorporates a product of price and volume to calculate positive money flow and negative formula.

However, the levels may stay at extremes for extended periods in...
