**Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) Indicator**
Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) ek popular technical analysis indicator hai jo market momentum aur buying/selling pressure ko measure karta hai. Yeh indicator Marc Chaikin ne develop kiya tha aur yeh price aur volume ka combination use karta hai taake asset ke demand aur supply ko assess kiya ja sake.

### How CMF is Calculated:

CMF indicator ko typically 21-period ke liye calculate kiya jata hai. Calculation ke steps yeh hain:

1. **Money Flow Multiplier (MFM):**
\[
\text{MFM} = \frac{(Close - Low) - (High - Close)}{High - Low}
\]

2. **Money Flow Volume (MFV):**
\[
\text{MFV} = \text{MFM} \times Volume
\]

3. **Chaikin Money Flow (CMF):**
\[
\text{CMF} = \frac{\text{Sum of MFV over n periods}}{\text{Sum of Volume over n periods}}
\]

Yahan "n" typically 21-period hota hai, lekin traders apne trading style ke mutabiq isse adjust kar sakte hain.

### Interpretation of CMF:

1. **Positive CMF Values:** Agar CMF value positive hai (above zero), to yeh indicate karta hai ke buying pressure zyada hai aur price uptrend mein hai. Yeh bullish signal hai.

2. **Negative CMF Values:** Agar CMF value negative hai (below zero), to yeh indicate karta hai ke selling pressure zyada hai aur price downtrend mein hai. Yeh bearish signal hai.

### Trading Strategy Using CMF:

1. **Trend Confirmation:** CMF ka use trend confirmation ke liye kiya ja sakta hai. Agar price uptrend mein hai aur CMF positive hai, to yeh trend continuation ko confirm karta hai. Isi tarah, agar price downtrend mein hai aur CMF negative hai, to yeh trend continuation ko confirm karta hai.

2. **Divergence:** CMF divergence bhi identify karne mein madadgar hota hai. Agar price new highs bana raha hai lekin CMF new highs nahi bana raha, to yeh bearish divergence hai aur potential trend reversal indicate karta hai. Isi tarah, agar price new lows bana raha hai lekin CMF new lows nahi bana raha, to yeh bullish divergence hai aur potential trend reversal indicate karta hai.

3. **Overbought/Oversold Conditions:** CMF ko overbought aur oversold conditions identify karne ke liye bhi use kiya ja sakta hai. Agar CMF bohot zyada positive hai, to yeh indicate karta hai ke asset overbought hai aur price correction ho sakta hai. Agar CMF bohot zyada negative hai, to yeh indicate karta hai ke asset oversold hai aur price rebound ho sakta hai.
