Definitions
In plain terms
If neither side has classified money flow, the indicator returns a neutral midpoint rather than dividing by zero.
Technical
When PMF=NMF=0, the Batch 010 contract returns MFI=50; positive-only returns 100 and negative-only returns 0.
Scope
The neutral 50 state means no classified flow under the contract, not a forecast of price movement.
Examples
- A reviewer computes MFI Zero-Flow Neutral State from a small OHLCV fixture and checks readiness, units, and edge cases before publication.
Common misconceptions
- The neutral 50 state means no classified flow under the contract, not a forecast of price movement.
