Sorry it’s taken me so long to do an actual video for the Weis Wave & Ord-Volume indicator, but that is finally done now and released on the Weis Wave page and the Youtube channel.
I also released some small improvements to the behavior and settings and coloration options.
I’m currently working on some major improvements to the overall features including different methods for identifying waves instead of just the existing ZigZag method, as well as a more full-featured trend identification scheme, so keep an eye out for a beta of that to be released soon.
Meanwhile, check out the latest small update and video here.
Weis Wave Volume, Zig Zag & Ord-Volume Indicator for ThinkOrSwim
The Weis Wave Volume & Ord-Volume indicator combines features similar to L.A. Little’s work on objective trend identification and pivot breakout evaluation using volume, with the work of David Weis and the Weis Wave concept, plus the ideas of Timothy Ord and his Ord-Volume indicator, as well as other traders/authors such as Anna Coulling and of course Richard Wyckoff.
What It Does
The upper indicator plots the classic zigzag waves, swings, and pivots using closing prices, based on either an absolute (price based) reversal, average true range (ATR) multiple reversal, or percentage reversal.
It then sums up all the volume in each “leg” or wave/swing and provides the absolute volume at the pivot high or low (useful for evaluating pivot breakout challenges), the total cumulative volume for the swing/wave/leg (similar to David Weis’ Weis Wave indicator), and the average volume for the swing/wave/leg (similar to Timothy Ord’s Ord-Volume). It can also plot challenges to a prior high that do not happen at a pivot point and plot the absolute volume for that particular bar on the chart (see image — this, again, is useful to comparing the challenge-bar’s volume to the prior pivot it is challenging, to see if it has enough volume to win the challenge).
The lower indicator plots the cumulative, average, and absolute volumes per swing/wave/leg as a lower study similar to an oscillator or volume readout. This is a useful add on for those who don’t want to keep the bubbles on the main chart — they can instead just look below and see what the current wave volume readings are.
