VFI - Katsanos Volume Flow Index - This chart contains the Kraut Color-Based system for short term trading, discussed in the Trader's Tips section of the July 2011 issue of TASC magazine.  Volume bars are painted as follows.

  • If today's close and volume are greater than 2 weeks ago, color green

  • If today's close is greater and volume is less than 2 weeks ago, color blue

  • If today's close and volume are less than 2 weeks ago, color orange

  • If today's close is less and  volume is greater than 2 weeks ago, color red

Kraut says to "buy the green or blue volume bars, use a 1% trailing stop, and stand aside on red or orange bars."
