Smart Money Flow Index

Wednesday, January 7, 2009

The Smart Money Flow Index 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 for free on our portal. The Smart Money Flow Index is therefore calculated by taking the action of the Dow in two time periods: the first 30 minutes and the close.

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. The Smart Money Indicator is calculated like the Advance-Decline Line. You can easily do it yourself if you don't want to pay our subscription rate of $1.50 weekly (based on a 6-month membership). Just start at any given day, subtract the price of the Dow at 10 AM from the previous day's close and add today's closing price.

The result is plotted on a chart, together with the closing price of the Dow only. Whenever the Dow makes a high which is not confirmed by the SMI there is trouble ahead . Watch the divergence around June 1998, February 2000 and September 2000. Watching this indicator is like being on a plane and see the pilots jumping off with parachutes. This indicator is suitable only for investors with a longer time horizon. Such investors should buy blue chips when the indicator gives a buy signal, and sell and sell short on a divergence.
