Weis Wave Max█ Overview
Weis Wave Max is the result of my weis wave study.
David Weis said,
"Trading with the Weis Wave involves changes in behavior associated with springs, upthrusts, tests of breakouts/breakdowns, and effort vs reward. The most common setup is the low-volume pullback after a bullish/bearish change in behavior."
THE STOCK MARKET UPDATE (February 24, 2013)
I inspired from his sentences and made this script.
Its Main feature is to identify the largest wave in Weis wave and advantageous trading opportunities.
█ Features
This indicator includes several features related to the Weis Wave Method.
They help you analyze which is more bullish or bearish.
Highlight Max Wave Value (single direction)
Highlight Abnormal Max Wave Value (both directions)
Support and Resistance zone
Signals and Setups
█ Usage
Weis wave indicator displays cumulative volume for each wave.
Wave volume is effective when analyzing volume from VSA (Volume Spread Analysis) perspective.
The basic idea of Weis wave is large wave volume hint trend direction. This helps identify proper entry point.
This indicator highlights max wave volume and displays the signal and then proper Risk Reward Ratio entry frame.
I defined Change in Behavior as max wave volume (single direction).
Pullback is next wave that does not exceed the starting point of CiB wave (LH sell entry, HL buy entry).
Change in Behavior Signal ○ appears when pullback is determined.
Change in Behavior Setup (Entry frame) appears when condition of Min/Max Pullback is met and follow through wave breaks end point of CiB wave.
This indicator has many other features and they can also help a user identify potential levels of trade entry and which is more bullish or bearish.
In the screenshot below we can see wave volume zones as support and resistance levels. SOT and large wave volume /delta price (yellow colored wave text frame) hint stopping action.

Weis Wave Volume - Simple labels and comparisonThis script is designed to identify and display the Weis Wave Volume on a chart. The Weis Wave Volume is a volume-based indicator that helps traders analyze market waves, identify trend reversals, and assess the strength of a trend. The script calculates wave volume based on user-defined input parameters, detects price waves, and displays the results as labels on the chart.
This version in particular is based on ideas from @the_MarketWhisperer and some other pieces of the script from @LucF.
The overall functionality of the script is to identify price waves and their corresponding volume. It does this by determining the trend direction and detecting trend reversals based on user-defined inputs such as the Trend reversal length and Price source for trend detection. The script also calculates and displays the cumulative volume of the current wave, the number of bars in the wave, the average volume in the wave, and consecutive increasing average volume bars in the same wave:
- An 'o' is printed to show that the volume of the current wave was 'O'ver/ above the count of the volume from preceding wave (regardless of it being up or down).
- An 'u' is printed to show that the volume of the current wave was 'U'nder/ below the count of the volume from preceding wave (regardless of it being up or down).
- Current wave will be between ' ' signaling that the wave is not confirmed yet.
- Actual values for the wave are available as tooltips. You decide how many bars to show the labels for, but for now and since I am a fan of clean charts, this is set to 50.
The user can adjust various inputs that affect the output of the script, such as Trend reversal length, Price source for trend detection, Labels for X last bars. Adjusting these inputs allows the trader to customize the script's behavior to better suit their trading style or specific market conditions. For example, by increasing the Trend reversal length, the script will require more consecutive bars in the opposite direction to confirm a trend reversal, potentially filtering out shorter-term price fluctuations. Similarly, adjusting the Price source for trend detection allows the user to base trend calculations on different price values, such as the high, low, or close of each bar.
In addition to the customizable inputs, the user can enable or disable the display of pivot markers and choose the colors for the up and down volume labels. This helps the trader to easily visualize and analyze the wave volume information on the chart.
In summary, this script offers traders a powerful tool for visualizing and analyzing the Weis Wave Volume on a chart. By identifying price waves, detecting trend reversals, and providing insights into the strength of a trend based on volume, the script can be a valuable addition to a trader's technical analysis toolbox. Please note this is not meant to provide any buy or sell signals, it should be rather used to complement your existing analysis.
Have fun and trade wisely ;)
Numbers RenkoRenko with Volume and Time in the box was developed by David Weis (Authority on Wyckoff method) and his student.
I like this style (I don't know what it is officially called) because it brings out the potential of Wyckoff method and Renko, and looks beautiful.
I can't find this style Indicator anywhere, so I made something like it, then I named "Numbers Renko" (数字 練行足 in Japanese).
Caution : This indicator only works exactly in Renko Chart.
////////// Numbers Renko General Settings //////////
Volume Divisor : To make good looking Volume Number.
ex) You set 100. When Volume is 0.056, 0.05 x 100 = 5.6. 6 is plotted in the box (Decimal are round off).
Show Only Large Renko Volume : show only Renko Volume which is larger than Average Renko Volume (it is calculated by user selected moving average, option below).
Show Renko Time : "Only Large Renko Time" show only Renko Time which is larger than Average Renko Time (it is calculated by user selected moving average, option below).
EMA period for calculation : This is used to calculate Average Renko Time and Average Renko Volume (These are used to decide Numbers colors and Candles colors). Default is EMA, You can choice SMA.
////////// Numbers Renko Coloring //////////
The Numbers in the box are color coded by compared the current Renko Volume with the Average Renko Volume.
If the current Renko Volume is 2 times larger than the ARV, Color2 will be used. If the current Renko Volume is 1.5 times larger than the ARV, Color1.5 will be used. Color1 If the current Renko Volume is larger than the ARV . Color0.5 is larger than half Athe RV and Color0 is less than or equal to half the ARV. Color1, Color1.5 and Color2 are Large Value, so only these colored Numbers are showed when use "Show Only ~ " option.
Default is Renko Volume based Color coding, You can choice Renko Time based Color coding. Therefore you can use two type coloring at the same time. ex) The Numbers Colors are Renko Volume based. Candle body, border and wick Colors are Renko Time based.
////////// Weis Wave Volume //////////
Show Effort vs Result : Weis Wave Volume divided by Wave Length.
ex) If 100 Up WWV is accumulated between 30 Up Renko Box, 100 / 30 = 3.33... will be 3.3 (Second decimal will be rounded off).
No Result Ratio : If current "Effort vs Result" is "No Result Ratio" times larger than Average Effort vs Result, Square Mark will be show. AEvsR is calculated by 5SMA.
ex) You set 1.5. If Current EvsR is 20 and AEvsR is 10, 20 > 10 x 1.5 then Square Mark will be show.
If the left and right arrows are in the same direction, the right arrow is omitted.
Show Comparison Marks : Show left side arrow by compare current value to previous previous value and show right side small arrow by compare current value to previous value.
ex) Current Up WWV is 17 and Previous Up WWV (previous previous value) is 12, left side arrow is Up. Previous Dn WWV is 20, right side small arrow is Dn.
Large Volume Ratio : If current WWV is "Large Volume Ratio" times larger than Average WWV, Large WWV color is used.
Sample layout
Hull Volume WavesInspired by the works of David Weis, this indicator is an alternative to his classic Weis Volume Waves.
As the name implies, this indicator uses a Hull Moving Average to detect price swings, and calculates the cumulative volume for each of them, separating the up swings from the down swings.
The chosen length of the HMA determines the size of each swing, meaning lower lengths will detect microswings while higher lengths will only include the main swings.
The length of each swing also determines the color of the upward and downward waves, and you can choose 2 colors each to generate a bullish and bearish gradient.
Extreme values are highlighted in the background. The indicator will compare the current up wave to the last N up volumes, or the current down wave to the last N down volumes. The lookback length can be changed in the menu.
I hope you find it useful!
Weis Chop StrategyA new version of my earlier strategy with Choppiness Index as filter and trigger point. Also have used EMA to determine short time direction
Weis BB StrategyThis is a strategy based on Weis Wave & EMA. Weis Wave Volume is used to determine the overall trend and Bollinger Band to determine the Price breaking out from resistance zones.
Weis Wave Volume NumbersWhat is it?
This is an indicator to complement @modhelius' Weis Wave Volume Indicator.
Original code has been modified to display wave volume (cumulative) numbers above or below the latest candle of the corresponding wave on the main pane. Since we are concerned only with relative volume, VOLUME NUMBERS HAVE BEEN SCALED DOWN. (If you need actual volume numbers, uncheck "Scale Down Volume" option in Settings). Rising wave volume is denoted in green. Falling wave volume is denoted in red. Developing wave volume is postfixed with a '_'. Confirmed wave volumes won't have this.
Who is it for?
This indicator is useful if you already use Weis Waves in your analysis and could do with an additional numerical representation of the wave volume on the main pane. Can be used in conjunciton with @modhelius' Weis Wave Volume (WWV) indicator (need to be added separately) to complement the visual representation of the waves. Can be used independently as well.
Pelase note that if you use any other Weis Wave indicator (other than @modhelius'), the numbers and the waveforms might not match.
Trend Volume Accumulations [LuxAlgo]Deeply inspired by the Weiss wave indicator, the following indicator aims to return the accumulations of rising and declining volume of a specific trend. Positive waves are constructed using rising volume while negative waves are using declining volume.
The trend is determined by the sign of the rise of a rolling linear regression.
Settings
Length : Period of the indicator.
Src : Source of the indicator.
Linearity : Allows the output of the indicator to look more linear.
Mult : the multiplicative factor of both the upper and lower levels
Gradient : Use a gradient as color for the waves, true by default.
Usages
The trend volume accumulations (TVA) indicator allows determining the current price trend while taking into account volume, with blue colors representing an uptrend and red colors representing a downtrend.
The first motivation behind this indicator was to see if movements mostly made of declining volume were different from ones made of rising volume.
Waves of low amplitude represent movements with low trading activity.
Using higher values of Linearity allows giving less importance to individual volumes values, thus returning more linear waves as a result.
The indicator includes two levels, the upper one is derived from the cumulative mean of the waves based on rising volume, while the lower one is based on the cumulative mean of the waves based on declining volume, when a wave reaches a level we can expect the current trend to reverse. You can use different values of mult to control the distance from 0 of each level.
WWV_LB pivotfix histogram jayy
This is a modification of LazyBear's WWV_LB which plots cumulative volume of waves. The reversal points are defined through relative closing prices. I made adjustments to the script to show waves turning on actual/true low or high pivots as opposed to the bar/candle identified in the LazyBear script. What I mean by that is that the actual/true low or high pivots are in fact the true WWV_LB pivots. The original WWV_LB script calculates cumulative volume from reversal confirmation bar to reversal confirmation bar as opposed to the true WWV_LB pivot bar to pivot bar. As such the waves can have slightly different start and end points. As such the cumulative volume can also be different from te WWV_LB script. This is because confirmation of a wave reversal can lag a few bars after the true reversal pivot bar. In the script notes, you will see the original key WWV_LB script lines that identify the true high or low pivots and confirm the wave direction has reversed. I have taken these lines from LazyBear's original script. I have included the LazyBear script within the script notes so that the original can be compared to what I have added/changed. Instead of "trendDetectionLength" I have inserted "Trend Detection Length". You can of course change the descriptor to what you wish by editing script line 33 to the original term or whatever you wish. You might also wish to set the default to the value "2" as per the original script. I have set the default to "3". This script should be used in conjunction with "WWV-LB zigzag pivot fix jayy" script which is shown on this screen for comparison.
Here is a link to the original LazyBear histogram script which can be used for comparison. The differences are subtle, however, the histograms will regularly be different by a bar or two:
The lowest panel has the original LazyBear WWV_LB script for comparison. All three scripts have been set to a Trend Detection Length of 3.jayy
WWV_LB zigzag pivot fix jayyThis is a zigzag version of LazyBear's WWV_LB. In order to plot the WWV_LB as a zigzag, it made sense to me to set the zigzag pivot at the true WWV_LB low or high pivot bars as opposed to the "pivot" bars plotted by the original WWV_LB script. The pivot point identified in the WWV_LB script is actually the point at which a wave reversal is confirmed as opposed to the true script pivot point. Confirmation of a wave reversal can, at times, lag the true pivot by a few bars especially as trendDetectionLength values increase above "1". The WWV_LB script calculates cumulative volume from wave reversal confirmation bar to wave reversal confirmation bar as opposed to the actual/true WWV_LB reversal pivot bar to reversal pivot bar. As such the waves plotted by the original and this pivot fixed scripts not only look slightly different but can also have different cumulative volumes. Confirmation of a wave reversal can lag a few bars behind the true pivot point.
The following critical lines of the original WWV_LB script determine when a wave reverses, both the true pivot and the confirmation point:mov = close>close ? 1 : close<close ? -1 : 0
trend= (mov != 0) and (mov != mov ) ? mov : nz(trend )
isTrending = rising(close, trendDetectionLength) or falling(close, trendDetectionLength)
wave=(trend != nz(wave )) and isTrending ? trend : nz(wave ) These original script lines are replicated in lines 62 to 65 of my script and are used to define wave reversal pivot bars and wave reversal confirmation bars. The original WWV_LB script does not track potential or actual pivot bars. The information can be extracted and tracked from the original script and then used to plot the actual reversal pivot bars. This allows the volume to be tracked from the actual/true pivot bars.Instead of "trendDetectionLength" I have inserted "Trend Detection Length" in the dialogue boxes. You can of course change the descriptor to what you wish by editing script line 33 to the original term or whatever you wish. You might also wish to set the default to the value "2" as per the original script. I have set the default to "3".
If you use a dark background I suggest you edit script line 4 from blackr=black to something such as blackr=yellow The volume values are shown in a vertical column of 3 numbers. Given the limitations of Pinescript Version 3 relative to V4, they are plotted at the point where the wave reversal is confirmed as opposed to the true pivot point. The zigzag lines plot the true pivot points. The plot location of numbers could be improved in Pinescript Version 4. I explain below why I have not published the Pinescript version 4 scripThe volume values plotted on the chart are calculated to be relative numbers. The script is limited to showing only three numbers vertically. Only the highest three values of a number are shown. For example, if the highest recent pip value is 12,345 only the first 3 numerals would be displayed ie 123. But suppose there is a recent value of 691. It would not be helpful to display 691 if the other wave size is shown as 123. To give the appropriate relative value the script will show a value of 7 instead of 691. This informs you of the relative magnitude of the values. This is done automatically within the script. There is likely no need to manually override the automatically calculated value. I will create a video that demonstrates the manual override method.
Should you update to Pinescript version 4? You could but if you do you will need to change the "plotchar" criteria since this script will exceed the 64 plot limit when converted to version 4. Version 4 would also allow the zigzags lines to be straight lines. However, the 50 label and line plot limit (Pinescript calls this resource sparing feature "garbage collection") significantly truncates the screen available information provided on screen. This algo optionally allows the plotting of zigzags as calculated by the original WWV_LB script. Toggling between the two script versions allows you to see the zigzag plot differences. I have also made some modifications to the original WWV_LB histogram script to adjust the pivot points.This zigzag script should be used in conjunction with the "WWV_LB pivot fix histogram jayy" shown in the panel below the main screen.
Here is a link to the original LazyBear histogram script which can be used for comparison. The differences are subtle, however, the histograms will regularly be different by a bar or two:
The lowest panel has the original LazyBear WWV_LB script for comparison. All three scripts have been set to a Trend Detection Length of 3.

Weis Wave No Security MTFearly i put example for source MTF with no security
you can find it here with all detail about it
this is just example that i try to use this code for weis volume invented by Lazy bear
you can play with different option of this MTF model
I use the TF1 of TF3 to increase time by minute
and i keep the other res as the same as the candle time
ytou can try different combination
this is just for folks to see how to implent it
you can play with timer in code sometime it change the out come
in future i hope we find better solution for security until then we cannot stoip dreaming:)
I want yo thank Duyc and quansium for their code for this implentation in tyhe weis volume model
Volume Multi Time FrameHi All,
This script shows total volume info of Higher Time Frame. it checks open/close prices of higher time frame and sets the color. it also show a dynamic line on last volume , so you can see when HTF candle started and ended. by looking at the color of volume columns you can see HTF candle is green or red. it's something like weis wave volume that is using HTF candles.
Higher time frame is set automatically, you can set it manually by choosing "User-defined" in the indicator options and choose higher time frame as you want
Here some examples:
Current time freame is 1min and htf is 1hour
Current time freame is 1min and htf is 1day
Enjoy!
Weis pip zigzag jayyWhat you see here is the Weis pip zigzag wave plotted directly on the price chart. This script is the companion to the Weis pip wave ( ) which is plotted in the lower panel of the displayed chart and can be used as an alternate way of plotting the same results. The Weis pip zigzag wave shows how far in terms of price a Weis wave has traveled through the duration of a Weis wave. The Weis pip zigzag wave is used in combination with the Weis cumulative volume wave. The two waves must be set to the same "wave size".
To use this script you must set the wave size. Using the traditional Weis method simply enter the desired wave size in the box "Select Weis Wave Size" In this example, it is set to 5. 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 described above. Once the Weis wave size is set then the pip wave will be shown.
I have put a pip zigzag of a 5 point Weis wave on the bar chart - that is a different script. I have added it to allow your eye to see what a Weis wave looks like. 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. There are too many calculations within this script to allow conversion to Pinescript version 4 or even Version 3. I am in the process of rewriting this script to reduce the number of calculations and streamline the algorithm.
The numbers plotted on the chart are calculated to be relative numbers. The script is limited to showing only three numbers vertically. Only the highest three values of a number are shown. For example, if the highest recent pip value is 12,345 only the first 3 numerals would be displayed ie 123. But suppose there is a recent value of 691.

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 or bar closes to define all wave action ie a line chart.
David Weis did a futures io video which is a popular source of information about his method.
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. 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 Weis chart here () from the same period to the David Weis chart from May 27. Both waves are for the ES!1 4 hour chart and both for a wave size of 5.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

*** 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.
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:

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.
