thank you for your quick response.

I also believed like you that The Chaikin's Money Flow Indicator is what I
look for but realized that the Formula is the following:
cmf( PERIODS ) meaning:
21 Day Sum of the 1 Day Money Flow Indicator divided by the 21 Day Sum of the
Daily Volume.

If I understand this indicator correctly then this is not what the POMF% -
Persistency of Money Flow Percentage
Indicator is supposed to calculate.

Maybe someone has used the %POMF formula and would share it with the message
board.

Thank you for your time.

Marcel
