# MoneyFlowIndex (interface)

The Money Flow Index is an oscillator that calculates buying and selling pressure using typical price and volume. It oscillates between zero and one hundred. It is typically used to identify trend reversals and price extremes.

## Definition

```csharp
public interface MoneyFlowIndex
```

## Examples

C#:

```csharp
private MoneyFlowIndex _moneyFlow;

protected override void Initialize()
{
   _moneyFlow = Indicators.MoneyFlowIndex(Period);
}
public override void Calculate(int index)
{
   // Display Result of Indicator
   Result[index] = _moneyFlow.Result[index];
}
```

Python:

```python
import clr
clr.AddReference("cAlgo.API")

from cAlgo.API import *

class Test():
    def initialize(self):
        self.moneyFlowIndex = api.Indicators.MoneyFlowIndex(api.Period)

    def calculate(self, index):
        api.Result[index] = self.moneyFlowIndex.Result[index]
```
