# Money Flow Index

The **Money Flow Index** tracks the amount of capital entering or leaving an asset. Unlike the standard TradingView MFI, this version focuses on identifying **Absolute Strength Zones**.

### MFI Columns

* **Logic**: Typical Price multiplied by Volume, smoothed to show the net capital flow.
* **Strong Zones**: The indicator calculates a historical average of "Positive" and "Negative" money flow bars.
  * **Bright Color**: When the current MFI bar exceeds its historical average, it indicates **Strong Momentum Participation**.
  * **Dim Color**: Indicates standard or weak participate.

### Average Band Paths

The line plots above and below the columns represent the "Average Flow Threshold".

* **Upper Band**: The average buying intensity.
* **Lower Band**: The average selling intensity.

### Strategic Use

When the **Momentum Wave** is rising and the **MFI Columns** are bright bullish, it indicates a "Health Trend" where price action is being supported by volume. If the wave rises but MFI is weak or dim, it warns of a low-volume "Trap".
