Smart Money Flow Index

Description:

The Smart Money Flow Index was developed by WallStreetCourier in 1997 and is a trademark of WallStreetCourier.com. Since then WallStreetCourier is the official source of the Smart Money Flow Index for Bloomberg Professional.

The Smart Money Flow Index is calculated by taking the action of the Dow in two time periods: the first 30 minutes and the close. The first 30 minutes represent emotional buying, driven by greed and fear of the crowd based on good and bad news. There is also a lot of buying on market orders and short covering at the opening. Smart money waits until the end and they very often test the market before by shorting heavily just to see how the market reacts.

Then they move in the big way. These heavy hitters also have the best possible information available to them and they do have the edge on all the other market participants. Whenever the Dow makes a high which is not confirmed by the SMI there is trouble ahead or the other way round.
Indicator Details

Updated: • daily/weekly

P.S I think (I may be wrong) that there is a similar index either at MarketTells, or at some different site, where flow is being derived by taking 2 different times of a day and doing some calculations. However I don't remember if index there is more longer-term or similar in nature.

I used to be a member of the Stockbee blog and Pradeep posts some very good information about trading and investing. Additionally, there are many worthwhile essays on various methods. I would still be a member, but I am intentionally limiting myself from too many external sources of information. Nonetheless, I find the site to be extremely valuable and highly recommend reading many of the free posts.

The rare elements theme has been quite hot in the recent months. It now seems that deep-sea mud in the Pacific Ocean has lots of them. I wonder what the extraction costs would be.

When and if the market turns and breaks the 200 DMA, I wonder where and when the Robot will indicate a prime point to enter/jump on.

In the meantime, one might enjoy this simple comparison of 2011 and 2007.

Nickola,

2007 is not included in the best fit analoguous patterns from history.
The top-5 best-fit similar patterns are all pointing up.

Our friend Maxime is also doing an excellent job in this field of research.
Zero Hedge are perma-bears, keep that in mind when reading anything from them.
