Money Flow

Where institutional volume is leaning

Updated June 3, 2026

What this measures

The Money Flow tile on the Symbol card ranks each stock by signed dollar-volume over the last 60 trading days — each day's dollar volume (shares × close) counted positive on up days and negative on down days, divided by total dollar volume in the window. A stock with a positive score saw more capital change hands on green days than red; a negative score is the inverse. It's a Chaikin-style approximation: the footprint of accumulation versus distribution, distilled to a single signed number.

The intuition is that large positions move on liquidity, and liquidity shows up on green days. A stock running positive flow is where, statistically, institutional buying has been showing up over the past quarter. Negative flow is where the offer has been heavier than the bid. The signal both leads and lags price action — accumulation can show up before a breakout and distribution before a breakdown, but neither is mechanical.

Two things shape how to read the percentile. First, it's cross-sectional — a 90th-percentile score means this stock's signed-dollar balance sits in the top decile of the cohort, not that the absolute flow is unusually large. Second, it's slow-moving. The 60-day window means regimes shift over weeks, not days. This is positioning information, not a trading signal.

The four slices below are different ways to look at the same data: the top 50 (deepest accumulation footprint right now), the bottom 50 (deepest distribution footprint), the 1-month movers (where the picture changed most recently), and the steady accumulators (high level with little month-over-month movement). They're meant as views, not picks — a backtest of these slices as standalone selection rules did not produce reliable alpha at the sample size and regime we have.

1-month movers

Stocks whose money-flow percentile has changed the most in the last month. Climbers (left) saw the largest improvement in their flow signature; decliners (right) saw the largest deterioration. The two 60-day flow windows behind the delta overlap by half, so a stock with steady accumulation barely moves — only stocks where the most recent month meaningfully shifted the picture surface here.

Steady accumulators

Stocks where the money-flow percentile is high (≥ 70) and has barely moved in the last month (|Δ| ≤ 10) — institutional positioning that's persistent rather than recently flipping in or out. A different lens on the same underlying data: the names where conviction has been sitting quietly rather than entering or exiting the cohort.
