I didn't found Smart money index.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_money_index

Smart Money Index is getting a lot of press lately as predictive in market turns. Any chance of adding it?

The Smart Money Index that’s commonly quoted in financial media is calculated from the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Here’s an example of the indicator’s formula in action.

The Dow goes up 100 points in the first half hour of trading. Hence, the Smart Money Index today = yesterday’s reading MINUS the Dow’s gains.
The Dow goes down 100 points in the first half hour of trading. Hence, the Smart Money Index today = yesterday’s reading PLUS the Dow’s losses.
The Dow goes up 200 points in the last hour of trading. Hence, the Smart Money Index today = yesterday’s reading PLUS the Dow’s gains.
The Dow goes down 200 points in the last hour of trading. Hence, the Smart Money Index today = yesterday’s reading MINUS the Dow’s losses.

There you have it in C.Indicators:

Last Hour Indicator (Smart Money Index)

I've renamed the Wiki page by adding Smart Money Index to make it appear in Wiki searches.

the index as implemented looks more like an oscillator. I believe a more accurate implementation would be

Thanks for sharing the code George!

Or to rephrase the Wikipedia link above...

CODE:
Please log in to see this code.


...which leads to the same result.

I'll add your version to C.Indicators as SmartMoneyIndex, leaving the LastHour indicator as is (oscillator-like).

P.S. Appreciate not sharing entire code (or other premium content) from protected sources like the Wiki attachments on the forum.

Just to clarify, are we saying ...?
CODE:

If so, then the only reason to craft a special Smart Money indicator is for execution speed.

Personally, rather than using the Sum() operation, I prefer the EMA() instead for threshold triggering (say to perform a Buy). But that would be a different indicator.
