The Trading System Thats Quietly Beating the Market

Introduction to the Explorer and Scanning

$The Money Flow Index - Scan Session - 7/14/26 * **Main Topics Covered:** Money Flow Index (MFI) formula & mechanics, Alexander Elders divergence concept, the Railroad Tracks trend strategy, Steve Bigelows candlestick patterns (Candle Profit Systems V3), individual stock chart reviews, and risk management rules. ### 1. Money Flow Index (MFI) Overview & Calculation Created by Gene Quong and Avrum Sowdaw, the **Money Flow Index (MFI)** is a momentum oscillator similar to the Relative Strength Index (RSI), but it explicitly incorporates **volume** into its calculation. * **Step 1: Typical Price** $$text{Typical Price} = frac{text{High} + text{Low} + text{Close}}{3}$$ * **Step 2: Raw Money Flow** $$text{Money Flow} = text{Typical Price} times text{Volume}$$ * **Step 3: Positive & Negative Flow Determination** * **Positive Money Flow:** Sum of Money Flow on days where todays Typical Price is greater than yesterdays Typical Price over a 14-period window. * **Negative Money Flow:** Sum of Money Flow on days where todays Typical Price is less than yesterdays Typical Price over a 14-period window. * **Step 4: Money Ratio & Index Normalization** $$text{Money Ratio} = frac{text{Positive Money Flow}}{text{Negative Money Flow}}$$ $$MFI = 100 - frac{100}{1 + text{Money Ratio}}$$ #### Key MFI Trading Signals: * **Overbought / Oversold Extremes:** * **Above 80:** Overbought warning zone (potential pullback/reversion to the mean). * **Below 20:** Oversold zone (potential reversal). * *Rule of thumb:* Always wait for price confirmation, as strong trends can stay overbought/oversold longer than expected. * **Indicator Divergence:** * Referencing Dr. Alexander Elder (*Indicator divergence is the most powerful signal in technical analysis*). * Highlighted on **GE**: Price made higher highs while MFI peaked lower (-4%), signaling weakening volume momentum and predicting a pullback. ### 2. Railroad Tracks Uptrend Exploration Strategy A MetaStock exploration framework designed by Maverick to isolate stocks in a pervasive, steady uptrend: * **Moving Average Alignment Order:** 8 EMA (T-Line) is above 20 SMA, which is above 50 SMA, which is above 200 SMA * **Core Indicators:** * **8 EMA (T-Line):** Developed by Rick Sadler (student of Steve Bigelow). Acts as dynamic support and a strict stop-loss trigger. * **50 & 200 SMA:** Institutional reference lines acting as major macro support and resistance. * **Filter Conditions:** Requires smooth spacing (no overlapping/whipsaws) and consistent upward trajectory. ### 3. Steve Bigelow’s Candlestick Patterns (Candle Profit Systems) Scans apply Steve Bigelows high-probability bullish patterns strictly to stocks already meeting the Railroad Tracks trend criteria: * **Doji / Series of Indecision:** Dojis represent indecision. A cluster of Dojis indicates building price compression; the breakout following indecision tends to be explosive. * **Doji Best Friend:** A Doji followed immediately by a gap-up opening and strong positive candle. Enhanced when gapping/closing above the 8 EMA T-Line. * **Kicker / Trend Kicker:** A sharp 2-bar reversal pattern where a bearish day is followed by a gap-up open above the prior body and strong upward continuation. * **Flutter Kicker:** A 3-bar variation featuring a down day, a Doji in the middle, and a gap-up Kicker bar. * **Other Scanned Patterns:** Bobble, Frypan Bottom, Doji Sandwich, Dumpling Top, Muffin. ### 4. Stock Chart Reviews & Specific Scans | Ticker | Pattern / Setup | Session Analysis & Action | | | | | | **VOYA** | Railroad Tracks / Dojis | In tracks for 27 days; showing indecision/Dojis at highs. Passed on buying until a clear decision bar forms. | | **HK** *(Halcon)* | Doji Best Friend | Formed dumpling top pulling back to test the 8 EMA T-Line. | | **HUM** *(Humana)* | Trend Kicker | Bought in session after 50/200 SMA cross. Testing overhead resistance level. | | **EIX** | Flutter Kicker | Broke resistance above T-Line; holding above underlying support. | | **DK** | Kicker | Formed kicker and gapped up; actively holding with a tight trailing stop. | | **PBF** | Doji Sandwich / Bullish Trend | Strong parabolic upward expansion following bullish reversal. | | **PSO** | Kicker into All-Time Highs | Gapped into new highs, but opened weak the next day; caution on extended gap opens. | ### 5. Risk Management Guidelines * **Golden Rule:** *Dont eat like a butterfly and poop like an elephant.* * **Capital Protection:** Preserving capital takes priority over chasing profits. * **Systemic Exit Rule:** A daily close below the **8 EMA (T-Line)** serves as an immediate trigger to exit active long positions. * **Execution Discipline:** You can always buy back in if proven wrong, but taking small, timely exits prevents catastrophic drawdowns.$
