Smart Money Flow Oscillator [MarkitTick]💡This script introduces a sophisticated method for analyzing market liquidity and institutional order flow. Unlike traditional volume indicators that treat all market activity equally, the Smart Money Flow Oscillator (SMFO) employs a Logic Flow Architecture (LFA) to filter out market noise and "churn," focusing exclusively on high-impact, high-efficiency price movements. By synthesizing price action, volume, and relative efficiency, this tool aims to visualize the accumulation and distribution activities that are often attributed to "smart money" participants.
✨ Originality and Utility
Standard indicators like On-Balance Volume (OBV) or Money Flow Index (MFI) often suffer from noise because they aggregate volume based simply on the close price relative to the previous close, regardless of the quality of the move. This script differentiates itself by introducing an "Efficiency Multiplier" and a "Momentum Threshold." It only registers volume flow when a price move is considered statistically significant and structurally efficient. This creates a cleaner signal that highlights genuine supply and demand imbalances while ignoring indecisive trading ranges. It combines the trend-following nature of cumulative delta with the mean-reverting insights of an In/Out ratio, offering a dual-mode perspective on market dynamics.
🔬 Methodology
The underlying calculation of the SMFO relies on several distinct quantitative layers:
• Efficiency Analysis
The script calculates a "Relative Efficiency" ratio for every candle. This compares the current price displacement (body size) per unit of volume against the historical average.
If price moves significantly with relatively low volume, or proportional volume, it is deemed "efficient."
If significant volume occurs with little price movement (churn/absorption), the efficiency score drops.
This score is clamped between a user-defined minimum and maximum (Efficiency Cap) to prevent outliers from distorting the data.
• Momentum Thresholding
Before adding any data to the flow, the script checks if the current price change exceeds a volatility threshold derived from the previous candle's open-close range. This acts as a gatekeeper, ensuring that only "strong" moves contribute to the oscillator.
• Variable Flow Calculation
If a move passes the threshold, the script calculates the flow value by multiplying the Typical Price and Volume (Money Flow) by the calculated Efficiency Multiplier.
Bullish Flow: Strong upward movement adds to the positive delta.
Bearish Flow: Strong downward movement adds to the negative delta.
Neutral: Bars that fail the momentum threshold contribute zero flow, effectively flattening the line during consolidation.
• Calculation Modes
Cumulative Delta Flow (CDF): Sums the flow values over a rolling period. This creates a trend-following oscillator similar to OBV but smoother and more responsive to real momentum.
In/Out Ratio: Calculates the percentage of bullish inflow relative to the total absolute flow over the period. This oscillates between 0 and 100, useful for identifying overextended conditions.
📖 How to Use
Traders can utilize this oscillator to identify trend strength and potential reversals through the following signals:
• Signal Line Crossovers
The indicator plots the main Flow line (colored gradient) and a Signal line (grey).
Bullish (Green Cloud): When the Flow line crosses above the Signal line, it suggests rising buying pressure and efficient upward movement.
Bearish (Red Cloud): When the Flow line crosses below the Signal line, it suggests dominating selling pressure.
• Divergences
The script automatically detects and plots divergences between price and the oscillator:
Regular Divergence (Solid Lines): Suggests a potential trend reversal (e.g., Price makes a Lower Low while Oscillator makes a Higher Low).
Hidden Divergence (Dashed Lines): Suggests a potential trend continuation (e.g., Price makes a Higher Low while Oscillator makes a Lower Low).
"R" labels denote Regular, and "H" labels denote Hidden divergences.
• Dashboard
A dashboard table is displayed on the chart, providing real-time metrics including the current Efficiency Multiplier, Net Flow value, and the active mode status.
• In/Out Ratio Levels
When using the Ratio mode:
Values above 50 indicate net buying pressure.
Values below 50 indicate net selling pressure.
Approaching 70 or 30 can indicate overbought or oversold conditions involving volume exhaustion.
⚙️ Inputs and Settings
Calculation Mode: Choose between "Cumulative Delta Flow" (Trend focus) or "In/Out Ratio" (Oscillator focus).
Auto-Adjust Period: If enabled, automatically sets the lookback period based on the chart timeframe (e.g., 21 for Daily, 52 for Weekly).
Manual Period: The rolling lookback length for calculations if Auto-Adjust is disabled.
Efficiency Length: The period used to calculate the average body and volume for the efficiency baseline.
Eff. Min/Max Cap: Limits the impact of the efficiency multiplier to prevent extreme skewing during anomaly candles.
Momentum Threshold: A factor determining how much price must move relative to the previous candle to be considered a "strong" move.

🔍 Deconstruction of the Underlying Scientific and Academic Framework
This indicator represents a hybrid synthesis of academic Market Microstructure theory and classical technical analysis. It utilizes an advanced algorithm to quantify "Price Impact," leveraging the following theoretical frameworks:
• 1. The Amihud Illiquidity Ratio (2002)
The core logic (calculating body / volume) functions as a dynamic implementation of Yakov Amihud’s Illiquidity Ratio. It measures price displacement per unit of volume. A high efficiency score indicates that "Smart Money" has moved the price significantly with minimal resistance, effectively highlighting liquidity gaps or institutional control.
• 2. Kyle’s Lambda (1985) & Market Depth
Drawing from Albert Kyle’s research on market microstructure, the indicator approximates Kyle's Lambda to measure the elasticity of price in response to order flow. By analyzing the "efficiency" of a move, it identifies asymmetries—specifically where price reacts disproportionately to low volume—signaling potential manipulation or specific Market Maker activity.
• 3. Wyckoff’s Law of Effort vs. Result
From a classical perspective, the algorithm codifies Richard Wyckoff’s "Effort vs. Result" logic. It acts as an oscillator that detects anomalies where "Effort" (Volume) diverges from the "Result" (Price Range), predicting potential reversals.
• 4. Quantitative Advantage: Efficiency-Weighted Volume
Unlike linear indicators such as OBV or Chaikin Money Flow—which treat all volume equally—this indicator (LFA) utilizes Efficiency-Weighted Volume. By applying the efficiency_mult factor, the algorithm filters out market noise and assigns higher weight to volume that drives structural price changes, adopting a modern quantitative approach to flow analysis.

Degen Dominator - (Crypto Dominance Tool) - [mutantdog]A fairly simple one this time. Another crypto dominance tool, consider it a sequel to Dominion if you will. Ready to go out-of-the-box with a selection of presets at hand.
The premise is straightforward, rather than viewing the various marketcap dominance indexes as their standard percentage values, here we have them represented as basic oscillators. This allows for multiple indexes to be viewed in one pane and gives a decent overview of their relative changes and thus the flow of capital within the overall crypto market. As a general rule-of-thumb, when a plot is above zero then the dominance is climbing, thus capital is likely flowing in that direction. The inverse applies when below zero. When the market is quiet, all will be close to zero. Basic overbought/oversold conditions can also be inferred too.
Active as default are:
Bitcoin (0range): CRYPTOCAP:BTC.D
Ethereum (Blue): CRYPTOCAP:ETH.D
Stablecoins (Red): CRYPTOCAP:USDT.D + CRYPTOCAP:USDC.D
Altcoins (Green): 100 - (all of the above)
These are plotted according to the selected oscillator preset and it's length parameter. The default is set to 'EMA Centre'. An optional RMA(3) smoothing filter is also included and active as default. Each index plot has its own colour and opacity settings available on the main page.
Additionally, the following are also available (deactivated as default):
Total DeFi : CRYPTOCAP:TOTALDEFI.D
Current Symbol : Will try to match corresponding dominance index for the chart symbol if available.
Custom Input : Manual text input, will try to match if available.
-------------
The included presets determine the oscillator type used, all are fairly simple and easy to interpret:
EMA Centre
SMA Centre
Median Centre
Midrange Centre
The first 4 are all variations on the same theme, simply calculated as the difference between the actual value and its respective average. EMA is the default and is my personal preference, if you generally favour using an SMA then perhaps that would be your better choice. Like the two MAs, median and midrange are also dependant on the length parameter. Midrange is calculated from the difference between highest and lowest values within the length period, with a little extra smoothing from an RMA(3).
Simple Delta
Weighted Delta
Running Delta
Often referred to as momentum, delta is just change over time. 'Simple' is the most basic of these, the difference between the current value and the value (length) bars prior. A more long-winded way of calculating this would be to take the difference between each bar and its previous then average them with an SMA which results in the same value. 'Weighted' adopts that principle but instead uses a WMA, likewise 'Running' is the same but using an RMA. The latter is actually the basis of RSI calculations before any normalisation is applied, as you can see in the next preset.
RSI
CMO
RSI really should not need explaining, it is however applied a little differently here to the usual, in this case centred around 0. The x100 multiplication factor has been dropped too for the sake of consistency. The same principle applies with CMO, which is basically a 'Simple Delta' version of RSI.
Hard Floor
Soft Floor
These last two are a little different but both can provide useful interpretations. The floor here is simply the lowest value within the chosen length period. 'Hard' plots the difference between the current value and the floor, thus giving a value that is always above 0. In this case, focus should be given to the relative heights of each with a simple interpretation that capital is flowing into those that are climbing and out of those descending. 'Soft' is essentially the same except that the floor is smoothed with an RMA(3), the result being that when new lows are made, the plot will break below 0 before the floor corrects a few bars later. This soft break provides additional information to that given by 'Hard' so is probably the more useful of the two.
------------
To finish it off, a bunch of preset alerts are included for the various 0 crossings.
So that just about covers everything then, all quite straightforward really. Future updates may include some extra stuff, the composition of the stablecoin index may change if necessary too. While this is not really a tweaker's tool like some of my other projects, there's still some room for experimentation here. The 'current' and 'custom' indexes can provide some useful data for compatible altcoins and the possibility to compare inter-related tokens (eg: Doge vs Shib). While i introduced this as a sort of sequel to Dominion, it is not intended as a replacement but more of a companion. This initially started as a feature intended for that one but it quickly grew into its own thing. Both the oscillator view here and the more traditional view have merits, i personally use this one primarily now but frequently refer to Dominion for confirmations etc.
That's it for now anyway. As always, feedback is welcome below. Enjoy!
Aggregated Chaikin Money Flow - InFinitoModified Version of In-Built Chaikin Money Flow Indicator. Aggregated Volume is used for it's calculation + a couple of other features.
Aggregation code originally from Crypt0rus
***The indicator can be used for any coin/symbol to aggregate volume , but it has to be set up manually***
***The indicator can be used with specific symbol data only by disabling the aggregation option, which allows for it to be used on any symbol***
- Calculated based on Aggregated Volume instead of by symbol volume. Using aggregated data makes it more accurate and allows to compare volume flow between different kinds of markets (Spot, Futures , Perpetuals, Futures+Perpetuals and All Volume ).
- As well, in order to make the data as accurate as possible, the data from each exchange aggregated is normalized to report always in terms of 1 BTC. In case this indicator is used for another symbol, the calculations can be adjusted manually to make it always report data in terms of 1 contract/coin.
- Added Moving Average ( SMA , EMA , WMA , RMA, VWMA) that can be plotted to the CMF
- Changed 0 line to a small range which tends to be more relevant than the 0 line. This range can be manually modified
Things to look for:
- Divergences: Can be a very good reversal signal
- MA crossovers: Can be a very good confluent Buy/Sell signal
- Center range retests: CMF is normally defined as bullish above 0 and bearish below 0. In this case it is above or below the middle range. Even if the start of the move was missed. The retest of the middle range can give very good entries.
- Confluence of the latter
Money Flow Index With Bullish & Bearish SignalsMONEY FLOW INDEX WITH BULLISH AND BEARISH SIGNALS
Money Flow Index shows whether money is coming into the market or going out of the market. This can be used to gauge market sentiment and whether people are buying or selling at the current price.
***HOW TO USE***
If the MFI line is green, it is above the 50 line and in a bullish trend.
If the MFI line is red, it is below the 50 line and in a bearish trend.
If the background color is green, Money Flow is in a bullish trend, holding above the 50 line.
If the background color is red, Money Flow is in a bearish trend, holding below the 50 line.
If the MFI is above the 75 level it indicates a possible top or overbought conditions.
If the MFI is below the 25 level it indicates a possible bottom or oversold conditions.
***BULLISH/BEARISH LABELS***
There is also a label on the right side that tells you whether the overall trend is bullish or bearish, if there is a possible bottom or top and if the current money flow index is going up or down. This table updates in real time and changes colors so you can get an easy, quick interpretation of the current money flow without having to look at the data so you can make faster decisions on whether to enter or exit a trade. The flashing from red to green or the opposite also grabs your attention so you know immediately if there is a change in trend. The table changes colors in sync with the MFI line and it's trends and bottom/top areas. Green means money is coming in. Red means money is going out. Blue means a neutral amount of money flow.
