Market Facilitation Index - MFI

1 Apr 2019

Using Market Facilitation Index - MFI you will be able to recognise two important metrics:

Whether the current trend is strong enough to trade it.
When a new trend may start.


MFI combines changes in price (range) and volume. Here is the formula:

MFI = (High – Low) * Volume

The indicator has bars of four colours. Each colour has a specific meaning and shows how the market responds to a change in volume.

Green. A green bar forms in the situation that both MFI and the volume are up. It means that more and more traders join the market in the current direction. In other words, it points to a strong trend, so you can open trades in line with this trend.

Brown. A brown bar appears when both MFI and the volume decline. It is also called “fade”. It signals that traders are hesitating and don’t want to continue the trend anymore. As a result, it’s not recommended to join the trend. Several brown bars are a sign of the potential reversal of the trend.

Blue. A blue bar forms when MFI increases, but the volume declines. A spike in price may be short-lived a precede a change in the trend. Blue bars appear at the times when newbies enter the trend, but professional traders know that it’s already too dangerous.

Pink. A pink bar, also known as squat, appears when MFI is diminishing, but the volume is growing. It reflects an increase of trading interest and an active fight between buyers and sellers. After one of the sides wins, the price will likely make a big move breaking support or resistance levels. The MFI, however, can’t be used to determine the direction of the breakout.
