Overview

The MFI Update Indicator MT4 is an upgraded take on the classic Money Flow Index, combining volume and price to measure buying and selling intensity. Unlike the standard MFI, YoForex’s update smooths erratic spikes, filters noise, and adds custom alert options—no more missed divergences or whipsaws. Under the hood, it calculates money flow the usual way—typical price × volume—but applies an adaptive smoothing algorithm that learns market rhythm over time. The result? Cleaner readings, sharper signals, and fewer false alarms.

  • Platform: MetaTrader 4
  • Language: MQL4

Built and back-tested by the YoForex research team on thousands of XAUUSD, EURUSD, and GBPUSD ticks, the MFI Update Indicator has proven its edge in both trending and ranging markets. It’s 100% free on MQL5.software and comes with unlimited updates—so you’ll always have the latest improvements without paying a dime.
