The Chaikin Money Flow indicator for MT4 is a momentum-based indicator that measures the buying and selling pressures of financial instruments over a period. It tracks the volume of the money flowing into and out of instruments over time.
So, the indicator shows when an instrument is in the accumulation or distribution phase, which helps traders determine when the price is trending to the upside or downside. Besides, the indicator can help traders quickly identify potential trend reversal zones when an instrument shifts from the accumulation phase (buying) to the distribution phase (selling) or vice versa.
