Multi Timeframe Altered Money Flow Index by CoffeeShopCryptoMoney Flow Index is a long used tool in trading markets, understanding to where money is moving and most importantly when its going there.
One of the biggest challenges was the when part. Because seeing it on your current trading chart timeframe is easy but it gets difficult if youre attempting a top-down-analysis of market structure vs price performance.
The new formula presented by @CoffeeshopCrypto is a key solution to this timeframe analysis issue. Seems like I may have solved the "glitch-In-The-Matrix".
The issue was always setting a secondary MFI on your chart and telling the system you wanted to watch the 1 hour MFI from a 5 minute chart.
To do this you need to wait for 12 candles to close on your 5 minute chart before you can get a 1hour MFI value. The move may have already happend and you may be too late. If there was only a better faster way to see the changing values of the High Timeframe Money Flow Index in real time without changing chart times and losing place......oh wait.....there is one now!
This tool allows you to tell it what timeframe you are looking at,
and what you want to compare it to.
It runs the calculation in the background automatically to give you the real time values of your High Timeframe chart setting on the chart you are looking at.
How to trade Long
When both the LFT and HTF Money flow cross above ZERO, they are both in uptrend
How to trade Short
When both the LFT and HTF Money flow cross below ZERO, they are both in downtrend
What happens when Low timeframe is inside the high timeframe:
If High timeframe MFI is below zero but the LFT MFI is above it and still below zero, you have lost your short term downtrend. The opposite is true when the high timeframe MFI is above zero.
A strong constant comparative trend is when your low timeframe MFI is leading your High timeframe MFI.
Personal Settings:
In my usage, i find it best to multiply my trading chart timeframe by 3 and use that number as my high timeframe MFI setting
This works on ANY chart time you want. For example you are not locked to the standard built TradingView chart times.
If you trade on a 7 minute timeframe, you can set your HTF to 21.
7 * 3 = 21

Up and Downwhat is "Up and Down"?
It is an indicator designed to show you in detail on the chart and warn you when there is an increase or decrease in the market at a level that you consider important.
what it does?
When the price difference between a top and bottom is greater than the level you selected (the default input is 10 percent), it indicates this along with the percentage value on the chart. Then, it indicates the start and end points with lines so that you can see the change from where to where. It shows the price's current percentage distance from the last bottom or top in the upper right corner.
it also colors the candles so you can better understand how fast the price is moving. The greener the candles, the stronger the rise, and conversely, the greater the decline, the redder the candles. Of course, if you set an alarm, it will tell you in which trading pair, in which time period, at what percentage and in which direction there is a movement.
how it does it?
It uses a moving average with a short length to find bottoms and tops. It then measures the distance from the last peak to the bottom and expresses it as a percentage. It uses momentum using the moving average as a source to paint the candles. To compress this momentum between the values 255 and 0, I used a formula that I also used in my limited fisher transform work (because the inputs in the color.rgb function take values between 0 and 255). It was a bit challenging to use the lines correctly, but with the "ta.valuewhen" function and a little experimenting, they were I made sure they were drawn correctly.
how to use it?
It is quite simple to use. First, select the minimum interval you want to receive alarms. If you make this value too high, you will not receive any alarms; if you make it too low, you will receive too many alarms. Choose the range that will benefit you most for the trading pair you are using. Then all you have to do is set an alarm. When you set an alarm, leave the note section blank and the indicator will send you the necessary information.
