Yet more specifically, for a real function on an ordered set (e.g. a price curve), one may consider that function's gradient, or some weighted variant thereof. In the case where T = { 1 , … , n } {\displaystyle T=\{1,\dots ,n\}} is an ordered finite set (e.g. a sequence of timestamps), the gradient is given as the finite difference .
The money flow index (MFI) is an oscillator that ranges from 0 to 100. It is used to show the money flow (an approximation of the dollar value of a day's trading) over several days. The steps to calculate the money flow index over N days
