The many uses of the Volume flow indicator VFI clearly displayed in chart examples

 

1. When VFI is above zero this denotes a bullish condition. (Trend definition)

2. When VFI is below zero this denotes a bearish condition. (Trend definition)

3. As a divergences indicator,It can be in the usual way as one would use other oscillators such as Demand Index or Money Flow MFI and Qstick indicators

4. One use not highlighted by most texts is the use of "V" formations in VFI which when highly correlated with the price of flag up the trend turning points

 in a timely manner. These observations are best when a dramatic rise of fall in the price and the VFI precede the V formation.

5. Topping and bottoming patterns such as head and shoulders and double tops which form in the VFI often herald a trend reversal in the underlying

 instrument before it shows in the actual price. Pleas see images below.

6. Rumour has it that Mr Katsanos made $700,000 in a single day from a signal generated by the volume flow indicator.

7. As an overbought or oversold oscillator in the same way as RSI would be used.

8. IMPORTANT NOTE When an extreme high reading ( overbought ) is observed on the VFI it can often be an early warning to herald a major uptrend is

 starting and traders entering short on these readings must exercise extreme caution.

9. Obviously the same applies vice versa when extreme oversold readings occur.


Designer of the Volume Flow Indicator or VFI

Markos Katsanos

Markos Katsanos: (Genius)

Introduction

Mr Katsanos graduated in structural engineering and holds an honours degree in civil engineering. He is a member of the Technical Securities Analysts

Association of San Fransico known as ( TSAAF) He began applying his logical commonsense engineering background to the stock market around 1987.



His superbly designed indicator known as the VFI Volume Flow Indicator, is probably in my opinion his finest piece of work.

This indicator is always going to be high on my list of essential tools in the traders toolbox.

Versatile in its uses, simple to understand and more reliable than some other inferior volume indicators.

Example 1:  Below VFI Flagged up two nice head and shoulders bottoms which called the moves up very early.

Good things can be done with other volume derived indicators such as Demand Index which the Precision Divergence Finder (lower plot) uses.

It measures multiple instances of DI lengths and check for divergences that will issue buy signals.

Trades get triggered when PS goes into long mode if within "N bars" of the divergence occuring: Upper plot is the Precision Stop Indicator

Example 5:  Below VFI Length 8 with no smoothing functions nicely as an overbought oversold oscillator in the same context as an RSI would be used. +5 indicated overbought and -5

 indicated oversold in this example.
