Chaikin Money Flow

Description

Chaikin Money Flow compares total volume over the last n time periods to total volume times the Close Location Value (CLV) over the last n time periods. Developed by Marc Chaikin.

Usage

CMF(HLC, volume, n = 20)

Arguments

HLC

Object that is coercible to xts or matrix and contains High-Low-Close prices.

volume

Vector or matrix of volume observations corresponding to the HLC object.

n

Number of periods to use.

Details

Chaikin Money Flow is calculated by taking dividing the sum of the Chaikin Accumulation / Distribution line over the past n periods by the sum of volume over the past n periods.

Value

A object of the same class as HLC and volume or a vector (if try.xts fails) containing the Chaikin Money Flow values.

Note

When Chaikin Money Flow is above/below +/- 0.25 it is a bullish/bearish signal. If Chaikin Money Flow remains below zero while the price is rising, it indicates a probable reversal.
