Weis Pip Wave jayyWhat you see here is the Weis pip wave. The Weis pip wave shows how far in price a Weis wave has traveled through the duration of a Weis wave. The Weis pip wave is used in combination with the Weis cumulative volume wave. The two waves must be set to the same "wave size" and using the same method as described by Weis.
Using the traditional Weis method simply enter the desired wave size in the box "Select Weis Wave Size". In the example shown, it is set to 5 points. Each wave for each security and each timeframe requires its own wave size. Although not the traditional method a more automatic way to set wave size would be to use ATR. This is not the true Weis method but it does give you similar waves and, importantly, without the hassle of selecting a wave size for every chart. Once the Weis wave size is set then the pip wave will be shown.
I have put a zigzag of a 5 point Weis wave on the above bar chart. I have added it to allow your eye to get a better appreciation for Weis wave pivot points. You will notice that the wave is not in straight lines connecting wave tops to bottoms this is a function of the limitations of Pinescript version 1. This script would need to be in version 4 to allow straight lines. I will elaborate on the Weis pip zigzag script.
What is a Weis wave? David Weis has been recognized as a Wyckoff method analyst he has written two books one of which, Trades About to Happen, describes the evolution of the now popular Weis wave. The method employed by Weis is to identify waves of price action and to compare the strength of the waves on characteristics of wave strength. Chief among the characteristics of strength is the cumulative volume of the wave. There are other markers that Weis uses as well for example how the actual price difference between the start of the Weis wave from start to finish. Weis also uses time, particularly when using a Renko chart. Weis specifically uses candle/bar closes to define all wave action.
David Weis did a futures.io video which is a popular source of information about his method.

PS This script was published a day ago, however, I had included some links to the website of a person that uses Weis pip waves and also a dropbox link that contains the Weis wave chart for May 27, 2020, published by David Weis. Providing those links is against TV policy and so the script was hidden by TV. This is the identical script with the identical settings but without the offending links. If you want to see the pip Weis method in practice then search Weis pip wave. I have absolutely no affiliation. If you want to see Weis chart in pdf then message me and I will give a link or the Weis pdf. Why would you want to see the Weis chart for May 27, 2020? Merely to confirm the veracity of my algorithm. You could compare my chart () from the same period to the Weis chart. Both waves are for the ES!1 4 hour chart and both for a wave size of 5.

Renko Weis Wave VolumeThis is live and non-repainting Renko Weis Wave Volume tool. The tool has it’s own engine and not using integrated function of Trading View.
Renko charts ignore time and focus solely on price changes that meet a minimum requirement. Time is not a factor on Renko chart but as you can see with this script Renko RSI created on time chart.
Renko chart provide several advantages, some of them are filtering insignificant price movements and noise, focusing on important price movements and making support/resistance levels much easier to identify.
As source Closing price or High/Low can be used.
Traditional or ATR can be used for scaling. If ATR is chosen then there is rounding algorithm according to mintick value of the security. For example if mintick value is 0.001 and brick size (ATR/Percentage) is 0.00124 then box size becomes 0.001. And also while using dynamic brick size (ATR), box size changes only when Renko closing price changed.
This tool is based on the Weis Wave described by David H. Weis (a Wyckoff specialist). The Weis Waves Indicator sums up volumes in each wave. This is how we receive a bar chart of cumulative volumes of alternating waves and The cumulative volume makes the Weis wave charts unique.
If there is no volume information for the security then this tool has an option to use “True Range” instead of volume .
Better to use this script with the following one:

Point and Figure (PnF) Weis Wave VolumeThis is live and non-repainting Point and Figure Chart Weis Wave Volume tool. The script has it’s own P&F engine and not using integrated function of Trading View.
Point and Figure method is over 150 years old. It consist of columns that represent filtered price movements. Time is not a factor on P&F chart but as you can see with this script P&F chart created on time chart.
P&F chart provide several advantages, some of them are filtering insignificant price movements and noise, focusing on important price movements and making support/resistance levels much easier to identify.
This tool is based on the Weis Wave described by David H. Weis (a Wyckoff specialist). The Weis Waves Indicator sums up volumes in each wave. This is how we receive a bar chart of cumulative volumes of alternating waves and The cumulative volume makes the Weis wave charts unique.
If there is no volume information for the security then this tool has an option to use “True Range” instead of volume .
If you are new to Point & Figure Chart then you better get some information about it before using this tool. There are very good web sites and books. Please PM me if you need help about resources.
Options in the Script
Box size is one of the most important part of Point and Figure Charting. Chart price movement sensitivity is determined by the Point and Figure scale. Large box sizes see little movement across a specific price region, small box sizes see greater price movement on P&F chart. There are four different box scaling with this tool: Traditional, Percentage, Dynamic (ATR), or User-Defined
4 different methods for Box size can be used in this tool.
User Defined: The box size is set by user. A larger box size will result in more filtered price movements and fewer reversals. A smaller box size will result in less filtered price movements and more reversals.
ATR: Box size is dynamically calculated by using ATR, default period is 20.
Percentage: uses box sizes that are a fixed percentage of the stock's price. If percentage is 1 and stock’s price is $100 then box size will be $1
Traditional: uses a predefined table of price ranges to determine what the box size should be.
Price Range Box Size
Under 0.25 0.0625
0.25 to 1.00 0.125
1.00 to 5.00 0.25
5.00 to 20.00 0.50
20.00 to 100 1.0
100 to 200 2.0
200 to 500 4.0
500 to 1000 5.0
1000 to 25000 50.0
25000 and up 500.0
Default value is “ATR”, you may use one of these scaling method that suits your trading strategy.
If ATR or Percentage is chosen then there is rounding algorithm according to mintick value of the security. For example if mintick value is 0.001 and box size (ATR/Percentage) is 0.00124 then box size becomes 0.001.
And also while using dynamic box size (ATR or Percentage), box size changes only when closing price changed.
Reversal : It is the number of boxes required to change from a column of Xs to a column of Os or from a column of Os to a column of Xs. Default value is 3 (most used). For example if you choose reversal = 2 then you get the chart similar to Renko chart.
Source: Closing price or High-Low prices can be chosen as data source for P&F charting.
There is only one option for Weis Wave Volume, “Use True Range (if no Volume info)” if you select this option and volume info is not avaliable then it uses “true range”, but if volume info is available, it never use true range. Default value is set to use true range.

Weis zigzag delta Jayy Dec 09 19This is an update of my Weis Wave script. The script is protected however you do not need permission to use the script. There are additions to this script from the one posted here: Please read the notes associated with that script as well as the videos.
Watch the following video to familiarize yourself with the use of both Weis scripts:

Customisable Weis Wave & Awesome Oscillator Weis Wave study price and volume relationship to generate waves chart(positive wave-uptrend, negative wave-downtrend) that aims to identify reversals and pullbacks. On top of that, bars are color-coded with Awesome Oscillator for confirmation. Green positive bars may indicate long opportunity and negative red bars may indicate short opportunities.
For some reason (one of it is due to my shitty coding skills), waves generated not always consistent with price movement. Hence, I keep changing price and volume parameters and I notice different combinations work best with different securities. For example, Hull Ma and OBV combination do quite well for stocks but so much for commodities. The following is a list of parameters that you can experiment with.
Volume parameters:
- Volume
- OBV
- Money Flow
- Chaikin Money Flow
-VWMA
Price parameters:
- Price
- Hull MA
- KAMA
- McGinley Dinamic
Weis Wave Volume (Pinescript 4)Port of LazyBear's Weis Wave Volume indicator to pinescript v4 from v2.
Weiss Wave Open Interest BarsFirstly :
LazyBear ' s "Weiss Wave " codes are used for open interests.
Original Weiss Wave Volume :
Let's start :
Open Interest vs. Volume: An Overview
Volume and open interest are two key measurements that describe the liquidity and activity of contracts In the options and futures markets. However, their meanings and applications are different. Volume refers to the number of contracts traded in a given period, while open interest denotes the number of active contracts.
Volume
Trading volume measures the number of options or futures contracts being exchanged between buyers and sellers, identifying the level of activity for that particular contract. For every buyer, there is a seller, and the transaction itself counts toward the daily volume.
Open Interest
Open interest indicates the number of options or futures contracts that are held by traders and investors in active positions. These positions have not been closed out, expired, or exercised. Open interest decreases when holders and writers of options (or buyers and sellers of futures) close out their positions. To close out positions, they must take offsetting positions or exercise their options. Open interest increases once again when investors and traders open new long positions or writers/sellers take on new short positions. Open interest also increases when new options or futures contracts are created.
Options or futures contract trading volume can only increase while open interest can either increase or decrease. While trading volume indicates the number of contracts that have been bought or sold, open interest identifies the number of contracts that are currently held.
Reference : www.investopedia.com
*** Worked to define all futures . You can look them in codes (between line : 13 to line 94 )
** CAUTION 1 : Since each instrument in the list has its own unique contract data, you must first enter its name to display it. I recommend you to select OANDA from the markets. Finally, when the COT reports are issued, it may repaints. However, this repaint is usually close to closing or after close .(When COT reports are so sharp ) So use this script only 1W ( 1 week ) or 1 M ( 1 month ) timeframe.
** CAUTION 2 : This data is taken to Tradingview with the help of Quandl. This is a tremendous possibility, but the system will not work if there is a malfunction.
Best regards.
Renko Weis Wave VolumeA volume bulls vs bears power indicator that is based entirely on Wyckoff Weis Wave Volume trends. This indicator is part of my DIVINE series RENKO indicators that run on an engine capable of extracting Renko brick information from a time series. As with the Renko RSI and Renko Trend Momentum indicators, swapping between Renko and time series type charts(bar, candlestick , heikin ashi) is seamless.
The algorithm uses the cumulative volume sum during the lifetime of a Renko brick formation. It tries hard to dissect and distribute volume when multiple bricks are formed during a single time candle (bar, candlestick , heikin ashi). Both positive and negative volume are plotted simultaneously, so that any instance where multiple bricks are created in a single time candle, positive and negative volume will be shown.
4 color themes as with all of the other DIVINE series indicators and strategies.
Shows ares of accumulation, distribution, capitulation. volatility .
Shows volatile brick locations with counts that indicate the number of nested bricks that were contained in a single time based candle.
Works well with Renko Price Bars Overlay script.
Reference to explanation of volatile brick information tips.
All feature requests are welcome. PM for access.
Ord Volume [LucF]Tim Ord came up with the Ord Volume concept. The idea is similar to Weis Wave , except that where Weis Wave keeps a cumulative tab of each wave’s successive volume columns, Ord Volume tracks the wave's average volume .
Features
You can choose to distinguish the area’s colors when the average is rising/falling (default).
You can show an EMA of the wave averages, which is different than an EMA on raw volume.
You can show (default) the last wave’s ending average over the current wave, to help in comparing relative levels.
You can change the length of the trend that needs to be broken for a new wave to start, as well as the price used in trend detection.
Use Cases
As with Weis Wave, what I look at first are three characteristics of the waves: their length, height and slope. I then compare those to the corresponding price movements, looking for discrepancies. For example, consecutive bearish waves of equal strength associated with lesser and lesser price movements are often a good indication of an impeding reversal.
Because Ord Volume uses average rather than cumulative volume, I find it is often easier to distinguish what is going on during waves, especially exhaustion at the end of waves.
Tim Ord has a method for entries and exits where he uses Ord Volume in conjunction with tests of support and resistance levels. Here are two articles published in 2004 where Ord explains his technique:
pr.b5z.net
n.b5z.net
Note
Being dependent on volume information as it is currently available in Pine, which does not include a practical way to retrieve delta volume information, the indicator suffers the same lack of precision as most other Pine-built volume indicators. For those not aware of the issue, the problem is that there is no way to distinguish the buying and selling volume (delta volume) in a bar, other than by looping through inside intervals using the security() function, which for me makes performance unsustainable in day to day use, while only providing an approximation of delta volume.
Weis zig zag dark background JayyThis is the same as but for dark backgrounds. Unfortunately, adding color choices for the numbers puts the script over the Tradingview 64 plot limit. Please read the notes for updates at the linked script above.
Also, check out Be sure to watch the videos at both sites to understand how to use the scripts.
Weis zig zag vol JayyI have had a few requests to publish the script I used here: in May 2015. I have been reluctant because it was a very cumbersome script. However, for those few people who actually want to play with this script here it is. I have cleaned it up to make the script more usable. Read my notes associated with "Weis Wave Jayy" for more details on the use of the Weis wave. There are some additional inputs to show the correct volume range on the screen. I think a short video is the best way to convey the information.
The traditional way of displaying Weis Wave as developed by David Weis is to use price. This is a bit of a tricky concept. I hope my video helps to clarify.
In a nutshell to use: open the script. The default is the traditional method used by Weis. Change the value to a wave size of interest in the "Select Weis Wave size" dialogue box. To use "What percent of avg price to set wave size" first click on "Use percent of avg price to set wave size". To use "What percent of last leg to determine reverse" click on "Use percent of last leg?" and be sure that "Use percent of avg price to set wave size" is unclicked.
To display volume correctly as three digits it is necessary to take a number such as 176,895,570 to value that can be displayed within three digits. The number must also be relative to other numbers in the field. If the highest volume on the page is: 2,654,763,889 and with only three numbers available to display the result. The values shown must be 18 and 265 respectively so that the relative magnitudes are understood. Therefore, all numbers in the field of view must be truncated by the same factor.
To do this make sure that "input multiplication factor to show volume must be non zero, if zero multiplication factors shown " is set at 0. Then click on ok at the bottom of the dialogue box. you should see various numbers across the screen each at a pivot point. Scan and select the highest number visible. I some red zeros are visible you should go back to the dialogue box and choose a smaller wave size.
Go back to the dialogue box and replace the 0 in the "input multiplication factor to show volume must be non zero, if zero multiplication factors shown " box with the value you have chosen, Click ok. You should now see the wave with volume. Represented as 1, 2 or 3 numbers read vertically.
Lastly, you can toggle between what I call a lagged wave or a no lag version using "Show weis wave (lagged pivots) unclick to show the no lag version?". What does this mean? The no lag version has a wave that turns at the actual top or bottom. However, price lags the turning point. Price is printed above or below the point at which a new wave is confirmed. What I mean by this is as follows. Suppose that closing prices are in a downward wave over several bars. Each new bar is examined relative to the "Weis wave size". Suppose the current bar closes at a new low, within the current down wave, at $30.00. If the Weis wave size is $0.10 then the algorithm will remember the $30.00 close and compare it to the close of the next bar. If the price goes lower to $29.99, for example, that is the new low and price is continuing down. If price climbs back up to a close of $30.11 then because price has moved more than $0.10 (the Weis wave size) then that is a wave reversal with a new wave starting up.
However if instead of rising by 11 cents it rose only 5 cents $30.05. Since price did not rise 10 cents The wave is still in a downward trend and the trend is not reversed. It is a bit in limbo. As long a closing price on the ensuing bars does not close at or below $30.00 or at or above $30.10 the wave remains in limbo. Suppose price closes for 5 bars between $30.00 and $30.10 and then on the 6th bar closes at or below $30.00. In that case, the downward trend is confirmed and the wave continues. The bars that closed in limbo are part of the downward trend. On the other hand, if the 6th bar close is 30.11 this means that a trend reversal is confirmed - now the trend is up. The turning point of the wave is 6 bars before at the $30.00 closing bar.
As such, turning points of waves can take some time to be confirmed to reverse in direction. Turning points can be 1, 2, 3 or more bars ahead of wave confirmation. A nice straight line for waves connecting highs and lows as used by Weis is not possible since series are not allowed in the plot statement for offsets. As such price is plotted above or below the point at which the wave was confirmed not the actual turning point. The Weis wave turning points plot at the same place as price. The "no lag" wave plot is not a straight line but does show the actual turning points. The volume is the volume for the actual turning point, not the point at which it is plotted.
The smaller the "Weis wave size" the less the lag will be.
If you have questions message me.

Weis Wave Jayy This is the Weis Volume Wave. Wave sizes are in dollars. If, for example, you want a 10 cent wave enter .100. (a 25 cent wave will be .2500) A few extra zeros will be useful. If using forex pairs then simply add the value desired. Weis often talks in wave sizes for forex such as an eighth (1/8). An eighth as a fraction is .12500 (again an extra zero or two). Read the David Weis book and/or watch this video to learn more about the Weis Wave and the associated method www.youtube.com Each security or pair - on each timeframe - will require its own wave size.
Cheers Jayy
