Capital Flow 32 was developed from 1998 to 2002. It Uses Market Profile™ as the input and allows the trader to "dial in" parameters for the timeframe to be traded. This creates the code based upon the degree of horizontal and is represented by colored balls and vertical lines representing market activity. The segmentation and coding generate a directional bias together with a volume overlay database. This then is used to harness computer scanning power across markets for the best opportunity and therefore the generation of cash flow.
The database is therefore using the input to scan for every available opportunity based upon that input criteria. A list is then produced with a bias and weighting representative of the cash flow.
It was with this in mind that for over 10 years Pete

The software is of use to those A. that can afford it for it is an expensive lease B. running say a fund whether CTA or Hedge Fund C. those that wish to run a dynamic multi strategy multi currency multi product global macro approach.
I could post the help manual but A. its 3.69mb in size of a pdf file last updated in 2005 running to 128 pages and B. No part of the manual may be reproduced or transmitted in any form, in part or in whole, by any means, electronic or mechanical, for any other than the lessor’s personal use.
If you have additional questions please fell free to ask and I will endoeavour to do my best to answer but in summary the CapFlow software is really an institutional tool
