FlowFusion Money Flow — FP + VWAP Drift + PVT (−100..+100)

FlowFusion Money Flow gives a fast, noise-aware read on buy/sell pressure by combining three complementary views of volume-backed intent:

Flow Pressure (FP) — In-bar directional drive scaled by relative volume.

Intuition: a strong body on above-average volume indicates meaningful flow.

PVT Momentum — Price-Volume Trend’s standardized momentum.

Intuition: cumulative volume weighted by return, then z-scored for regime awareness.

The three components are normalized to the same scale and combined with user-set weights into a single FlowFusion Score. A Signal (SMA of the score) helps smooth whipsaw. Optional shading marks positive/negative extreme zones.

What’s included

FlowFusion Score (−100..+100) with color shift at zero

Signal line (SMA)

Upper/Lower thresholds (defaults: +40 / −40) with optional background shading

Component plots (optional): see FP, VWAP Drift, and PVT contributions side-by-side

Alerts (ready to bind): zero cross, zone entries, and score/signal crossovers

Inputs (key)

fpLen (20): Flow Pressure lookback for relative volume

vwapLen (34): Rolling VWAP window

pvtLen (50): PVT z-score window

sigLen (9): Signal smoothing (SMA)

Weights: wFP, wVWAP, wPVT to bias the blend

Thresholds: upperBand / lowerBand (default +40 / −40)

Display: toggle component lines and background shading

How to Use
Quick read

Direction filter:

Score > 0 favors longs; Score < 0 favors shorts.

Momentum turns:

Score crosses Signal → early shift in flow.

Strength zones:

> Upper = strong accumulation; < Lower = strong distribution.

Entry templates

Trend-follow entry: wait for Score > 0 and Score crosses above Signal near support or after a pullback; exit at resistance or trail.

Mean-reversion entry: in ranges, fade when Score < Lower (for long) or Score > Upper (for short) and price tags a range edge; take profits faster.

Timeframes & markets

Works on crypto, FX, equities.

Scalpers: 1m–5m (consider a higher Signal length to smooth noise).

Swing: 15m–4H (defaults usually fine; consider wider thresholds like +50/−50).

Alerts (add in TradingView)

Use the built-in alert names:

“FlowFusion crosses up 0” / “down 0”

“enters positive zone” / “enters negative zone”

“crosses above Signal” / “crosses below Signal”

Bind them to your timeframe and asset for notifications or bot wiring.

Tuning tips

More signals: reduce sigLen (faster) or narrow thresholds (e.g., +30/−30).

Cleaner signals: increase sigLen or widen thresholds (e.g., +50/−50).

Trend vs. range bias:

Trendy markets → raise VWAP Drift weight (wVWAP).

Choppy/range → raise Flow Pressure (wFP) and PVT (wPVT).

Best Practices

Combine with structure (S/R, trendlines, HTF bias) and a risk plan (ATR stop or fixed R).

During news spikes, signals can overshoot; reduce size or wait for bar close confirmation.

For automation, use score–signal crosses as triggers and thresholds as confidence gates.

Limitations

It’s an oscillator: extreme readings can persist in strong trends; use trend/context to avoid counter-trend traps.

Volume quality varies by venue (e.g., some crypto feeds); prefer consistent data sources.
