The Smart Money Flow Index - The Official Source For Bloomberg Professional

Follow Smart Money And Find A Trend Before It Finds You!

The Smart Money Flow Index (SMFI) has long been one of the best kept secrets of Wall Street. Everybody knows the importance of a closing price and other last hour indicators like the Closing Tick, which we publish daily on our portal.

The Smart Money Flow Index is therefore calculated according to a special formula by taking the action of the Dow in two time periods: the first 30 minutes and the last hour. 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. It is a clear buy signal if the Dow falls to a new low which is not confirmed by the SMFI. But whenever the Dow makes a high which is not confirmed by the SMFI there is trouble ahead (Chart below). Watching this indicator is like being on a plane and see the pilots jumping off with parachutes. This magnificent indicator has called every major top and bottom since we are online!

Why The Crowd Has To Loose All The Time!

The markets are an ever and everything discounting mechanism and the product of the behavior of all their participants and, of course, not everybody can win. In order for every market to function, the majority of the participants have to lose. This majority is usually the uninformed and ignorant crowd, who rather relies on hot tips or even sheer luck like a gambler, instead of doing some homework and spending an extra buck for valuable and useful information.

There are many ways to beat the market, but one of the most successful methods is certainly to go with the "Smart Money" and against the so called "Crowd".
