A short thread on #MFI

The basics here :

Technical analysis says two things :
1. Momentum precedes price
2. Volumes precedes price

So, if an indicator includes momentum and volume analysis, it will be a leading indicator to some extent. This is the crux why I am so much confident on MFI
The indicator can be used for swing as well as day-trading. I use a period of 10 as I have seen that being our responsive to our markets here
Trendlines drawn on MFI or patterns might not be visible on price, normal trendline trading rules apply.

Divergences work and so does patterns

One can use MFI as a stand alone tool or as a supporting tool with other indicators
My indicator on divergences used codes was not allowed by tradingview ( future looking in a protected code). Tradingview has a good built-in divergence indicator which I have simply modified by plugging in MFI in place of RSI.
Since the original code here is not mine, publishing it as open source

Clicking inside the settings shows the hidden divergences also. Normally shows the standard divergences
Consider this a guru-purnima return gift. Play along with the code, study the indicator well and make it a part of your arsenal 🙏
If this also gets taken down, here is the code. Save it as your own indicator and use in future :

Inside the code, substitute the MFI with any other indicator like RSI or MACD etc, the divergences will be plotted for them too

IV - A thread

In financial mathematics, implied volatility of an option contract is
that value of the volatility of the underlying instrument which, when
input in an option pricing model ) will return a theoretical value equal to the current market price of the option (1/n)

Implied volatility, a forward-looking and subjective measure, differs
from historical volatility because the latter is calculated from known
past returns of a security. .

To understand where Implied Volatility stands in terms of the underlying, implied volatility rank is used to understand its implied volatility from a one year high and low IV.

Options traders are always looking at the IV and IVR/IVP. For option
buyers, a low IV environment is best to initiate positions as the
subsequent rise in IV actually helps their positions . Even if the IV
remains flat, the position is not hurt by volatility (4/n)

Option sellers on the other hand are looking for high IV scenarios, where
the subsequent fall in IV ( known a vol crush , most often seen after
earnings/events) helps their positions. Here also, if the IV does not
rise, it does not hurt a seller's positions (5/n)
