Definitions
In plain terms
A close near the high contributes positively and a close near the low negatively before volume weighting.
Technical
The CMF numerator uses the same MFM×V construction as ADL, but only over the finite rolling window.
Scope
The weight is not a claim about which side initiated each trade.
Examples
- A reviewer computes CMF Close-Location Weight from a small OHLCV fixture and checks readiness, units, and edge cases before publication.
Common misconceptions
- The weight is not a claim about which side initiated each trade.
