MCumulativeDelta* MCumulativeDelta Indicator *
The MCumulativeDelta Indicator shows the Buying / Selling pressure that is happening in the market. The Delta is powered by the *MBox Precision Delta* Algorithm. This indicator serves to show overall Accumulation and Distribution of the BUYERS and the SELLERS. It becomes possible to gauge if the market is overall Bullish or Bearish. This helps determine trade direction and keeping out of other trades that are counter to what the overall Buying / Selling is showing.
* WHAT THE SCRIPT DOES *
The script draws a histogram that can either be positive or negative. When the histogram is positive it means there are more Buyers in the Market. When the histogram is negative it means there are more sellers in the market. The more positive the histogram gets, the more BUYERS are flooding the market. The more negative the histogram gets, the more SELLERS are flooding the market. When the histogram switches over from negative to positive it is a Bullish sign of Buying. When the histogram switches over from positive to negative, it is a Bearish sign of Selling.
* HOW TO USE IT *
As the histogram becomes more negative, this shows that the SELLERS have taken control of the markets. Conversely, as the histogram becomes more positive, this shows that the Buyers have taken control of the markets. The side that is in control is the direction to generally place trades in, and at the same time filter out trades of the opposite direction.
* HOW IT WORKS *
The MCumulativeDelta histogram on the chart represents overall Buying / Selling. This is the DELTA (difference) between the BUYING and the SELLING. Taking the total BUYING and subtracting the total of SELLING, we produce the DELTA (difference) between the Buying / Selling and this is what is drawn by the histogram.
Unlike other Cumulative Delta indicators which determine delta from the Up / Down wick and just multiply by volume (not a true delta), the MCumulativeDelta indicator uses a sophisticated algorithm that analyzes price movement corresponding to volume movement.
The way the DELTA, BUYING, and SELLING is calculated is computed by the *MBox Precision Delta* Algorithm. The algorithm considers the following data points when making it's computation
1. Price moving up on increasing volume
2. Price moving up on decreasing volume
3. Price moving horizontally on increasing volume
4. Price moving horizontally on decreasing volume
5. Price moving down on increasing volume
6. Price moving down on decreasing volume
Using these data points allows MCumulativeDelta to effectively compute and define the following scenarios
1. Accumulation / Distribution
2. Buying / Selling Exhaustion
3. Buying / Selling EFFORT / NO RESULT
Once the scenario is determined, it will greatly aid in trade decision making. These scenarios are explained in the examples below
* EXAMPLE AND USE CASES *
- Accumulation Example -
When you see a large amount of BUYING (large positive histogram) and price entering an up trend, this is indicative of Accumulation and you would be looking for PULLBACKS to get into the up trend move.
- Distribution Example -
When you see a large amount of SELLING (large negative histogram) and price entering a down trend, this is indicative of Distribution and you would be looking for pullbacks to get into the down trend move.
- Buying EXHAUSTION Divergence -
As price makes higher highs, but the MCumulativeDelta histogram drops (becomes less positive) on the higher highs, it means BUYERS are exhausted. Potentially a reversal or change in behavior in the markets.
- Selling EXHAUSTION Divergence -
As price makes lower lows, but the MCumulativeDelta histogram contracts (becomes less negative) on the lower lows, it means SELLERS are exhausted. Potentially a reversal or change in behavior in the markets.
- BUYING EFFORT / NO RESULT -
As the MCumulativeDelta histogram increases positively, but price fails to make higher highs, it is a sign of EFFORT / NO RESULT on behalf of the Buyers. In this case Buyers are pushing hard to move price up, but are unable to, due to being OVERBOUGHT. If this is accompanied by visible SELLING, it would be a good short entry.
- SELLING EFFORT / NO RESULT -
As the MCumulativeDelta histogram increases negatively, but price fails to make lower lows, it is a sign of EFFORT / NO RESULT on behalf of the Sellers. In this case Sellers are pushing hard to move price down, but are unable to, due to being OVERSOLD. If this is accompanied by visible BUYING, it would be a good long entry.
* SETTING ALERTS *
- FOR CROSSING FROM BUYING TO SELLING OR SELLING TO BUYING -
To be alerted when the histogram crosses over from Buying to Selling (Positive to Negative) or Selling to Buying (Negative to Positive)
1. Right Click Chart -> Add Alert...
2. Select Condition to be "MCumulativeDelta"
3. Select "Crossing" with Value = 0

Weis Wave-Wave TypesWeis Wave - Waves Types indicator
The Concept
This indicator has been created based on David's Weis theory of cumulative volume histograms but this indicator has been enhanced with additional wave types to be able to identify the following:
Visually identify the Effort vs Result concept (too much volume but small pip move or small volume too large pip move). Imbalance of Supply and Demand.
Be able to monitor how volume progresses within the wave, if it is increasing, decreasing or staying steady.
Identify easily the large volume waves using the emphasized volume algorithm to analyze the price reaction afterwards following the theory that Institutions participate on large volumes
What it does
This indicator draws cumulative histograms of 5 different wave types. Up swing histogram is when price goes up and down swing histogram is when price goes down. It adds the volume of each bar within the wave swing, it adds the pips of each bar within the wave swing , it adds the time of each bar within the wave swing, it measures if the volume rate is increasing or decreasing within the wave swing and emphasizes on larger volume volume waves by increasing their size for visual purposes.
How it does it
The length of each cumulative histogram is equal to each wave price swing. The price wave sensitivity can be adjusted by AutoSensitivity parameter (min value =2 and max value=11). The larger the number the more sensitive it is, which means more wave swings will be created. The selectable values for the wave type are: Volume, Pips, Time, Progressive Volume Rate or Emphasized Volume. Furthermore the width of the cumulative histogram bars can be adjusted as well as the color of the up and the down swings. Finally divider input values are available for volume and pip to decrease large numbers on the y-axis of the histograms.
Wave Type Detailed Explanation
Volume: the indicator adds the volume of each bar within the price wave swing and creates a cumulative histogram
Pips: the indicator adds the bar distance from open to close and creates a cumulative histogram of the net pip movement of the price swing
Time: adds the time of each bar within the price wave swing and creates a cumulative histogram
Progressive Volume Rate (PVR): measures the volume rate within each wave (if volume is increasing or decreasing or staying steady as the wave progresses)
Emphasized Volume: the indicator adds the volume of each bar within the price wave swing and creates a cumulative histogram but contains an algorithm that emphasizes the large waves.
How to Use
Draw Support/Resistance and Fib - Monitor carefully the cumulative histograms at these levels. Usually supply and demand imbalance happens at this level.
First and most important of all adjust AutoSesnsitivity to get your swings correct. Getting the correct swings means waves are catching the tops and bottoms of each price wave swings.
Then identify potential trades by:
1. Comparison of cumulative Volume histogram vs Pip histogram which makes the concept of Wyckoff "Effort versus Result" identifiable, lot's of volume with small pip move = lot's of effort vs with small result. Supply and Demand imbalance.
2. Monitor Progressive Volume Rate histogram which measures if the volume rate is increasing, decreasing or remains steady within the price wave swing. This histogram indicates more or less participation as price increases or decreases within the specific wave. For example increase of volume rate as price goes up could mean more participation which could mean that sellers might be entering. Also the opposite is valid increasing volume rate as price goes down could mean that buyers are entering.
3. Emphasized Volume waves, provide a visual emphases on large volume waves only, useful for traders that like to trade with high volume trends and for traders that believe that in large volume waves large institutes participate. Trade with price trend but also with the volume trend concept.
What makes it unique
This indicator is an advance cumulative wave histogram because apart the regular volume histogram and apart form using each wave type individually to make a decision it provides more confidence and becomes more powerful when confluence is used combining the other wave types and by using the strategies mentioned above to a higher probability trade. Some examples are shown below
Example of Effort vs. Result Concept
Example of Progressive Volume Rate
Example of Emphasized Volume
Weis Wave With Speed Index SignalsWeis Wave with Speed Index Signals
The Concept
This indicator has been created to try to quantify "Change in Behavior" concept and provide buy and sell based on this concept. What is Change in Behavior? Price is moving at speed rate based on the trading volume direction (buyers and sellers) until there is imbalance of Supply/Demand. An algorithm has been created to identify this change of Supply/Demand behavior producing a number called "Speed Index". Abnormal Speed Index notes this change in behavior when compared with previous Speed Index numbers of the same pair and in the same timeframe. Speed Index is a relevant number and it's use is to be compared with previous Speed Index numbers and not as an absolute number. Based on Speed Index Behavior of recent waves, price and price wave structure buy and sell signals are available called Plutus.
What it does
This indicator draws a waveline of price waves swings. Up swing is when price goes up and down swing is when price goes down. It adds the volume of each bar within the wave swing, it measures the distance in pips of each swing and measure the numbers of bars of each swing. Furthermore, it creates the Speed Index of each swing, the average Speed Index of x selectable wave swings back as well as the average of Speed Index of the x up swings back and the average of the down swing. The indicator is also able to designate a Fast wave which means large pip move with small volume with the letter "F" displayed next to Speed Index and a Slow wave which small pip move with small volume with the letter "S". Finally based on price, Speed Index history and structure it creates eight buy/sell signals called Plutus.
Information available for display all selectable
For each wave swing: Total Volume, Pip Distance, Number of Bars or Total Volume + Pips or Total Volume + Pip Distance+Total Number of Bars
For each wave swing: Speed Index or Total Volume + Speed Index or Speed Index + Average Speed Index or Speed Index+(F or S).
Plutus buy and sell signals when criteria of price location, speed index comparison (abnormal speed index) and wave price structure have been met.
How it does it
This indicator draws a wave-line of price waves swings. Wave Sensitivity can be adjusted by AutoSensitivity parameter (min value =2 and max value=11). The larger the number the more sensitive it is, which means more wave swings will be created. All calculations are based on each wave swing. The code calculates all the above mentioned on the "Information available for Display" section. Based on price, Speed Index history, Speed Index ratio and structure Plutus buy and sell signals are created. The default value of Speed Index ratio is 2. Decreasing Speed Index ratio will create more signals while increasing it will create less signals.
Note: last wave re-paints and no information is displayed on the forming wave, but the whole trading methodology is based on reading previous waves information.
Technical Information
Speed Index
High Speed Index number means a slow wave "S" = Abnormal Speed (high volume small pip move)
Low Speed Index number means a fast wave "F" =Anormal Speed (small volume large pip move)
Normal Speed Index number (are the more frequent numbers seen in the chart which means that the market agrees with the move).
Plutus Signals
PL - Plutus Long, this is when the price will follow in the same direction of the wave with the High Speed Index. When signal is generated we enter when price close breaks the previous two wave structure Resistance Level
PS - Plutus Short, same as above, this is when the price will follow in the same direction of the wave with the High Speed Index. When signal is generated, we enter when price close breaks the previous two wave structure Support Level
PRL - Plutus Reversal Long, this is when the price will go in the opposite direction of the wave with the High Speed Index.
PRS - Plutus Reversal Short, same as above, this is when the price will go in the opposite direction of the wave with the High Speed Index.
PFL - Plutus Fake Long, this when price will do a fast break of the previous down swing bottom and then comes back within the previous swing range (fake break)
PFL - Plutus Fake Short, this when price will do a fast break of the previous up swing top and then comes back within the previous swing range (fake break)
WU - Wyckoff Upthrust plutus (short signal)- this is when the last two swings resemble(are) Wyckoff's UpThrust pattern price swings. This resemblance together with Speed Index criteria and price break of structure create this signal.
WS - Wyckoff Spring plutus(long signal)- this is when the last two swings resemble(are) Wyckoff's pattern price swings. This resemblance together with Speed Index criteria and price break of structure create this signal.
How to use it
Draw Support/Resistance and Fib - usually supply and demand imbalance happens at his level
First and most important of all adjust AutoSesnsitivity to get your swings correct, meaning that are catching the tops and bottoms of each price wave swing.
Monitor Speed Index behavior. Be alerted from Abnormal Speed Index number. You can also set using the Extreme Threshold parameter that provide you an alert if the current Speed Index is above or below average Speed Index of x waves back and also meets the min and max bar criteria. For example if we would like to be alerted for a an Abnormal Speed Index of a Slow wave of at 3 bars then we have set the Min Slow Bar parameter to 3, the Extreme Threshold parameter to 0.5 (50%) and the Avg Waves back to 8 then an alert will be produced if the wave before the forming has at least 3 bars and the Speed Index of the wave is 50% higher than the Average Speed Index calculated from 8 waves back. For a Fast wave we can set the Min Fast Bars to 1, Extreme Threshold to 50% and Avg Waves back to 8 which means that we will get an alert if the wave before the forming one has at least 1 bar and it's Speed Index is at least 50% less than the Speed Index Average of 8 waves back.
Plutus signals provide buy and sell entries after specific criteria have been met. These signals have a higher success rate when price is exiting a range or when price is leaving from Support/Resistance or Fib. Consider Plutus signals invalid within a range unless is the exit of the range (Range Break)
What makes it unique
The ability to identify, quantify and be alerted of the Change in Behavior of waves swings when compared with recent previous wave swings making it easier for the trader to be notified about Supply / Demand imbalance. Furthermore, another unique point of this indicator is the Plutus signals providing buy and sell entries. Plutus entries take into consideration this Abnormal Behavior, the wave swings structure and price location.
Example Trades
Wyckoff Up- rust formation strategy- Reading the chart
1. We have broken a Resistance Level with a Fast Speed Index of 0.7F
2. Abnormal Speed Index of 2.3 provides the alert for abnormal Speed Index behavior. There is not a high Speed Index like that in all the up wave swings which automatic makes it abnormal Supply Demand imbalance.
3. WU - Wyckoff Up-trust plutus signal has been created, which means Short.
4. PRS - Plutus Reversal Short also created at the same location which makes the Short even a higher probability trade
5. Entry: We enter Short on the close of the bar
Exit from Range Strategy - Reading the chart
1. We are in a Ranging environment
2. PS and PRS are invalid signals because according to the rules mentioned previously we do not trade any signals created within the range when the price does not break the range.
3. PRL - Plutus Reversal Long which means that price will move in the opposite direction of the High Speed Index (the 2.2) is a valid signal since price breaks the top of the range
4. Entry Long after breaking the top of the range
PRL after Support hit Strategy and Exit from Range Strategy - Reading the chart
In this we have two different strategies available. The first one is Plutus Reversal Long signal after hitting support and the second on an Exit from Range.
The Story:
1. We have hit support (double bottom)
2. Speed Index 2.2 at the bottom is on the High side, not too extreme but on the high side.
3. A PRL long signal is generated which means that price will move in the opposite direction of the 2.2 Speed Index
4. Entry Long on the close of the bar- This trade has provided 482 pips of profit
5. Price goes into Range
6. Classic textbook strategy Exit from Range with Plutus. We get a PL Plutus Long signal which means price will follow the directions of the high Speed Index wave and in this case is the 2.7 wave
7. Entry Long after the range break. This trade provided 384 pips up to now.
XPrecisionSwing (XPS)* XPrecisionSwing (XPS) Indicator *
Is a visual representation of the Forces of Supply / Demand in the markets in the form of UP and DOWN waves. The Supply / Demand (denoted by a number on top or below the wave line) is computed using the *MBox Precision Supply / Demand* algorithm. These numbers diligently show the forces of Supply and Demand moving price in the markets. The algorithm for computing the numbers on the top and bottom of the wave lines measures the strength of the Supply / Demand. It is this algorithm that makes this indicator unique as it gives an accurate representation of the forces pulling the market up and down. When forces oppose each other, meaning when the direction of price does not agree with the direction of the Supply or Demand it creates a divergence and an opportunity in the markets. These situations are called BUY / SELL Imbalances. Explanation about this below.
* WHAT THE SCRIPT DOES *
The XPrecisionSwing indicator draws swing waves lines going up and down. These waves lines are representative of Supply and Demand. Waves going up are Demand, while waves going down are Supply. The strength of the Supply / Demand corresponds to the number drawn either on top of the wave line or below it. The numbers drawn on the chart are powered by the *MBox Precision Supply / Demand* algorithm, which are representative of the Forces of Supply / Demand in the markets. This is not just volume added up like in a regular zig zag indicator, since volume alone does not show Supply / Demand, and regular volume will not show BUY / SELL Imbalances as depicted by XPrecisionSwing. Volume summated will not show both positive and negative numbers on the chart. Having Supply / Demand split into both positive and negative numbers allows us to see BUY / SELL Imbalances, which can be a very powerful divergence. Information on how these numbers are computed are in the "HOW IT WORKS" section.
The numbers drawn on the chart can be either negative or positive. Positive relates to Demand, while negative relates to Supply. In this manner the strength of Supply and Demand can be gauged in each wave. If the price goes up but the number is negative (More Supply) it is a divergence and called a SELL Imbalance. This means there was more Supply even though price went up. It is important to pay attention to these scenarios, as often it can be indicative of NO DEMAND. Conversely. if the price goes down but the number is positive (No Demand) it is a divergence and is called a BUY Imbalance. This means there was more Demand even though price went down. This is indicative of NO SUPPLY. As such, it now becomes possible to know when there is a sign of Supply, Demand, No Supply, No Demand, Supply Exhaustion, and Demand exhaustion. Supply occurs when the negative numbers on the charts begin to increase (more negatively). Demand occurs when the positive numbers on the chart begin to increase (more positively). A Supply Exhaustion pattern happens when the price is starting to move down more slowly, while Supply is decreasing, and Demand is increasing. This means that the behavior of the market is changing and also a signal to look to reverse positions. A Demand Exhaustion pattern happens when the price is starting to move up more slowly, while Demand is decreasing, and Supply is increasing. The behavior of the market here is also changing.
* HOW IT WORKS *
- Technical Details for the Numbers on the Swing -
The numbers on the chart represent Supply / Demand. Supply or Demand is determined by analyzing the movement of price and quantity of volume.
When price goes up and is combined with an increase in volume it is Expansion of Demand.
(Positive Numbers get larger)
However if price goes up and is combined with a decrease in volume it is Contraction of Demand.
(Positive Numbers get smaller)
When price goes down and is combined with an increase in volume it is Expansion of Supply.
(Negative Numbers get larger)
However if price goes down and is combined with a decrease in volume it is Contraction of Supply.
(Negative Numbers get smaller)
- Technical Details for the Swing -
The way XPrecisionSwing draws the swings is fractal in nature, which make it very convenient and easier to use over the traditional zig zag indicator. The traditional zig zag indicator uses a tick reversal which needs to be adjusted every time you change time frames. However, with XPrecisionSwing you do not have to change any settings every time you load a different time frame since it will adjust to any time frame you are loading. How the swing is drawn is explained below.
XPrecisionSwing uses 3 bars (by default) to define a swing
This parameter can be adjusted. Can be 1, 2, 4 bars, etc...
Swings are always drawn using High / Low of the bar
- Rules -
To start upswing, bar high needs to be higher than previous 3 candle highs
To start downswing, bar low needs to be lower than previous 3 candle lows
If in upswing, a higher high will continue the upswing
if in downswing, a lower low will continue the downswing
- Exceptions -
If outside bar (both high and low exceeds previous 3 bars) swing will continue in current direction
- Swing Confirmation -
Swing wave line in progress (unconfirmed) is denoted by a brown box around the swing number
Once the brown box disappears, that swing wave and number is confirmed
* HOW TO USE IT *
As the numbers on the down waves increase (negatively), this shows that the bears have taken control of the markets. Conversely, as the numbers on the up waves increase (positively), this shows the bulls have taken control of the markets. Whoever is in control is the direction you generally want to place your trades in. When you see an increase in Supply (numbers on down wave) accompanied with a decrease in Demand (numbers on up wave) this shows a Supply + Demand Exhaustion Pattern. This is stronger than if you only see an increase in Supply without a decrease in Demand.
- The Buy / Sell Imbalances -
If you see a positive blue number on the bottom of a DOWN Wave, this means that there was more buying than selling even though price moved down.
If you see a negative red number on the top of an UP Wave, this means that there was more selling than buying even though price moved up.
Both of these cases signify and imbalance and a divergence.
* EXAMPLE AND USE CASES *
- Sell Imbalance Example -
If you see a large negative number with a lower low on a down wave, and then the next up wave is a lower high also with a negative number it shows that there is only Supply flooding the market and no sign of Demand. This is a very powerful combo.
- Buy Imbalance Example -
If you see a large positive number with a higher high on an up wave, and then the next down wave is a higher low also with a positive number it shows that there is only Demand flooding the market and no sign of Supply. This is a very powerful combo.
- Supply Exhaustion example -
If you see price movement struggling to make newer lows and the Supply numbers on the down waves are decreasing, while the Demand numbers on the up waves are increasing this is indicative of a *Change of Behavior*, and that the market is showing signs of reversal.
- Break out on Demand example -
If you see price has been ranging and now the numbers on the UP waves begin to increase while breaking out of a previous area of resistance, it is a good sign that the movement is backed by the strength coming from the Demand.
* BUY / SELL IMBALANCE ALERTS *
The Green / Red crosses on the chart show exactly where the Buy / Sell Imbalance Alerts trigger.
These will NEVER repaint! The crosses can be hidden in Styles if you wish to.
Alerts can be set very easily with the instructions below.
1. Right Click Chart -> Add Alert...
(Ignore Caution Warning. These alerts will *ONLY* trigger on Confirmed BUY / SELL Imbalances and will NOT repaint)
2. Select Condition to be "XPrecisionSwing"
3. Select "Buy Imbalance" or "Sell Imbalance"
4. Select "Greater Than" with Value = 0
5. Options set "Once Per Bar"
6. Customize Any other Alert Options you want
* WHAT MAKES IT ORIGINAL *
XPrecisionSwing gives an inside look into the markets by showing price movements as a series of waves going up and down with their corresponding Supply / Demand numbers associated with each wave. Reading the numbers shows the strength of Supply / Demand. The bigger the number the stronger the Supply / Demand is. The smaller the number the weaker the Supply / Demand is. It becomes possible to see where Supply / Demand comes in, along with Exhaustion of Supply / Demand to spot opportunities to place trades. The Buy / Sell Imbalances show imbalances where price movement and the direction of the Supply / Demand diverge to create potential opportunities as well.

GKD-V Weis Wave [Loxx]Giga Kaleidoscope GKD-V Weis Wave is a Volatility/Volume module included in Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System".
█ Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System
What is Loxx's "Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System"?
The Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System is a trading system built on the philosophy of the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) algorithmic trading.
What is the NNFX algorithmic trading strategy?
The NNFX (No-Nonsense Forex) trading system is a comprehensive approach to Forex trading that is designed to simplify the process and remove the confusion and complexity that often surrounds trading. The system was developed by a Forex trader who goes by the pseudonym "VP" and has gained a significant following in the Forex community.
The NNFX trading system is based on a set of rules and guidelines that help traders make objective and informed decisions. These rules cover all aspects of trading, including market analysis, trade entry, stop loss placement, and trade management.
Here are the main components of the NNFX trading system:
1. Trading Philosophy: The NNFX trading system is based on the idea that successful trading requires a comprehensive understanding of the market, objective analysis, and strict risk management. The system aims to remove subjective elements from trading and focuses on objective rules and guidelines.
2. Technical Analysis: The NNFX trading system relies heavily on technical analysis and uses a range of indicators to identify high-probability trading opportunities. The system uses a combination of trend-following and mean-reverting strategies to identify trades.
3. Market Structure: The NNFX trading system emphasizes the importance of understanding the market structure, including price action, support and resistance levels, and market cycles. The system uses a range of tools to identify the market structure, including trend lines , channels, and moving averages.
4. Trade Entry: The NNFX trading system has strict rules for trade entry. The system uses a combination of technical indicators to identify high-probability trades, and traders must meet specific criteria to enter a trade.
5. Stop Loss Placement: The NNFX trading system places a significant emphasis on risk management and requires traders to place a stop loss order on every trade. The system uses a combination of technical analysis and market structure to determine the appropriate stop loss level.
6. Trade Management: The NNFX trading system has specific rules for managing open trades. The system aims to minimize risk and maximize profit by using a combination of trailing stops, take profit levels, and position sizing.
Overall, the NNFX trading system is designed to be a straightforward and easy-to-follow approach to Forex trading that can be applied by traders of all skill levels.
Core components of an NNFX algorithmic trading strategy
The NNFX algorithm is built on the principles of trend, momentum, and volatility . There are six core components in the NNFX trading algorithm:
1. Volatility - price volatility ; e.g., Average True Range , True Range Double, Close-to-Close, etc.
2. Baseline - a moving average to identify price trend
3. Confirmation 1 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
4. Confirmation 2 - a technical indicator used to identify trends
5. Continuation - a technical indicator used to identify trends
6. Volatility / Volume - a technical indicator used to identify volatility / volume breakouts/breakdown
7. Exit - a technical indicator used to determine when a trend is exhausted
What is Volatility in the NNFX trading system?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, ATR ( Average True Range ) is typically used to measure the volatility of an asset. It is used as a part of the system to help determine the appropriate stop loss and take profit levels for a trade. ATR is calculated by taking the average of the true range values over a specified period.
True range is calculated as the maximum of the following values:
-Current high minus the current low
-Absolute value of the current high minus the previous close
-Absolute value of the current low minus the previous close
ATR is a dynamic indicator that changes with changes in volatility . As volatility increases, the value of ATR increases, and as volatility decreases, the value of ATR decreases. By using ATR in NNFX system, traders can adjust their stop loss and take profit levels according to the volatility of the asset being traded. This helps to ensure that the trade is given enough room to move, while also minimizing potential losses.
Other types of volatility include True Range Double ( TRD ), Close-to-Close, and Garman-Klass
What is a Baseline indicator?
The baseline is essentially a moving average, and is used to determine the overall direction of the market.
The baseline in the NNFX system is used to filter out trades that are not in line with the long-term trend of the market. The baseline is plotted on the chart along with other indicators, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index ( RSI ), and the Average True Range (ATR).
Trades are only taken when the price is in the same direction as the baseline. For example, if the baseline is sloping upwards, only long trades are taken, and if the baseline is sloping downwards, only short trades are taken. This approach helps to ensure that trades are in line with the overall trend of the market, and reduces the risk of entering trades that are likely to fail.
By using a baseline in the NNFX system, traders can have a clear reference point for determining the overall trend of the market, and can make more informed trading decisions. The baseline helps to filter out noise and false signals, and ensures that trades are taken in the direction of the long-term trend.
What is a Confirmation indicator?
Confirmation indicators are technical indicators that are used to confirm the signals generated by primary indicators. Primary indicators are the core indicators used in the NNFX system, such as the Average True Range (ATR), the Moving Average (MA), and the Relative Strength Index ( RSI ).
The purpose of the confirmation indicators is to reduce false signals and improve the accuracy of the trading system. They are designed to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators by providing additional information about the strength and direction of the trend.
Some examples of confirmation indicators that may be used in the NNFX system include the Bollinger Bands , the MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence), and the Stochastic Oscillator. These indicators can provide information about the volatility , momentum, and trend strength of the market, and can be used to confirm the signals generated by the primary indicators.
In the NNFX system, confirmation indicators are used in combination with primary indicators and other filters to create a trading system that is robust and reliable. By using multiple indicators to confirm trading signals, the system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of the trades.
What is a Continuation indicator?
In the NNFX (No Nonsense Forex) trading system, a continuation indicator is a technical indicator that is used to confirm a current trend and predict that the trend is likely to continue in the same direction. A continuation indicator is typically used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as a baseline indicator, to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
What is a Volatility / Volume indicator?
Volume indicators, such as the On Balance Volume (OBV), the Chaikin Money Flow ( CMF ), or the Volume Price Trend ( VPT ), are used to measure the amount of buying and selling activity in a market. They are based on the trading volume of the market, and can provide information about the strength of the trend. In the NNFX system, volume indicators are used to confirm trading signals generated by the Moving Average and the Relative Strength Index . Volatility indicators include Average Direction Index, Waddah Attar, and Volatility Ratio. In the NNFX trading system, volatility is a proxy for volume and vice versa.
By using volume indicators as confirmation tools, the NNFX trading system aims to reduce the risk of false signals and improve the overall profitability of trades. These indicators can provide additional information about the market that is not captured by the primary indicators, and can help traders to make more informed trading decisions. In addition, volume indicators can be used to identify potential changes in market trends and to confirm the strength of price movements.
What is an Exit indicator?
The exit indicator is used in conjunction with other indicators in the system, such as the Moving Average (MA), the Relative Strength Index ( RSI ), and the Average True Range (ATR), to provide a comprehensive trading strategy.
The exit indicator in the NNFX system can be any technical indicator that is deemed effective at identifying optimal exit points. Examples of exit indicators that are commonly used include the Parabolic SAR , the Average Directional Index ( ADX ), and the Chandelier Exit .
The purpose of the exit indicator is to identify when a trend is likely to reverse or when the market conditions have changed, signaling the need to exit a trade. By using an exit indicator, traders can manage their risk and prevent significant losses.
In the NNFX system, the exit indicator is used in conjunction with a stop loss and a take profit order to maximize profits and minimize losses. The stop loss order is used to limit the amount of loss that can be incurred if the trade goes against the trader, while the take profit order is used to lock in profits when the trade is moving in the trader's favor.
Overall, the use of an exit indicator in the NNFX trading system is an important component of a comprehensive trading strategy. It allows traders to manage their risk effectively and improve the profitability of their trades by exiting at the right time.
How does Loxx's GKD (Giga Kaleidoscope Modularized Trading System) implement the NNFX algorithm outlined above?
Loxx's GKD v1.0 system has five types of modules (indicators/strategies). These modules are:
1. GKD-BT - Backtesting module ( Volatility , Number 1 in the NNFX algorithm)
2. GKD-B - Baseline module (Baseline and Volatility / Volume , Numbers 1 and 2 in the NNFX algorithm)
3. GKD-C - Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation module (Confirmation 1/2 and Continuation, Numbers 3, 4, and 5 in the NNFX algorithm)
4. GKD-V - Volatility / Volume module (Confirmation 1/2, Number 6 in the NNFX algorithm)
5. GKD-E - Exit module (Exit, Number 7 in the NNFX algorithm)
(additional module types will added in future releases)
Each module interacts with every module by passing data between modules. Data is passed between each module as described below:
GKD-B => GKD-V => GKD-C(1) => GKD-C(2) => GKD-C(Continuation) => GKD-E => GKD-BT
That is, the Baseline indicator passes its data to Volatility / Volume . The Volatility / Volume indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 1 indicator. The Confirmation 1 indicator passes its values to the Confirmation 2 indicator. The Confirmation 2 indicator passes its values to the Continuation indicator. The Continuation indicator passes its values to the Exit indicator, and finally, the Exit indicator passes its values to the Backtest strategy.
This chaining of indicators requires that each module conform to Loxx's GKD protocol, therefore allowing for the testing of every possible combination of technical indicators that make up the six components of the NNFX algorithm.
What does the application of the GKD trading system look like?
Example trading system:
Backtest: Strategy with 1-3 take profits, trailing stop loss, multiple types of PnL volatility , and 2 backtesting styles
Baseline: Hull Moving Average
Volatility/Volume: Weis Wave as shown on the chart above
Confirmation 1: Vortex
Confirmation 2: Williams Percent Range
Continuation: Fisher Transform
Exit: Rex Oscillator
Each GKD indicator is denoted with a module identifier of either: GKD-BT, GKD-B, GKD-C, GKD-V, or GKD-E. This allows traders to understand to which module each indicator belongs and where each indicator fits into the GKD protocol chain.

█ GKD-C Weis Wave
What is Weis Wave?
The Weis Wave Indicator is a technical analysis tool used by traders to analyze market trends and identify potential turning points in financial markets. It was developed by David Weis, a trader and market analyst with over 45 years of experience.
The Weis Wave Indicator is based on the principles of market waves, which are the repetitive patterns of market behavior that occur in financial markets. These waves are characterized by price movements that occur in a series of up and down trends, and they are used by traders to identify potential market reversals or breakouts.
The Weis Wave Indicator is a histogram that represents the difference between the cumulative sum of the bullish and bearish waves. The indicator is plotted on a chart as a series of bars that change color depending on the direction of the market trend. If the market is trending up, the bars will be green, while if the market is trending down, the bars will be red.
The formula for the Weis Wave Indicator is based on the accumulation and distribution of volume over time. It uses a cumulative delta volume calculation to determine the strength of market trends and identify potential turning points. The formula is as follows:
Weis Wave Volume = Net Buying Volume - Net Selling Volume
The Weis Wave Indicator is used by traders to identify potential market trends and turning points. It is particularly useful in identifying market breakouts and reversals, as well as in detecting divergences between price and volume. The indicator is commonly used in conjunction with other technical analysis tools, such as moving averages, trend lines, and support and resistance levels, to confirm market trends and generate trading signals.
Specifically, the Weis Wave Volume Indicator is an oscillator that measures the volume of price changes. It combines both momentum and volume to indicate buying and selling pressure. The indicator is designed to show a bull market when the volume is increasing and the price is rising, and a bear market when the volume is decreasing and the price is falling ¹.
The Weis Wave Plugin creates wave charts along with their corresponding wave volume. Wave charts were first created by Richard D. Wyckoff. In his famous course on stock market technique, he instructed students to “think in waves.” Wave analysis was an integral part of his trading method. The Weis Wave is an adaptation of Wyckoff’s method that handles today’s volatile markets ².
This indicator has the option of either ATR, volume, or partial close for source input.

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 ;)
XPace* XPACE INDICATOR *
The XPace indicator represents a histogram view of the Tape Speed of the Floor. The Tape Speed (aka Pace) is represented as red and green bars drawn in a histogram view.
As the red histogram bars grow larger and increase in frequency, this shows that the BIDS are in kontrol at that time. And conversely, when the green histogram bars grow larger and instead in frequency, this shows that the OFFERS are in kontrol.
Weighing in whether the BIDS or OFFERS are in kontrol can be a helpful indicator to decide what direction the market could move in.
What is helpful about XPace is that it will show you the raw value of the BID and OFFER kontrol. This can be combined with XKontrol which will classify the kontrol as either Initial, Strong, and Total. Using these 2 indicators combined has added value.
* WHAT MAKES IT ORIGINAL *
Up to this point, there is not another indicator that represents the BIDS and OFFERS that correlate and represent the Tape Speed of the Floor.
* XKONTROL INDICATOR *
The other indicator on this chart is XKontrol, as shown as dots of varying sizes on the chart. The dots are a visual representation of who is in Kontrol relative to the Tape Speed of the Floor. The XKontrol indicator will show you who is in Kontrol, the BIDS or the OFFERS. This is a very powerful indicator. Great for long term plays and a *SCALPERS* paradise.
The XKontrol indicator reads the BIDS Being hit and the OFFERS being lifted, and then represents the strength of the Bids being hit and Offers being lifted as dots on the chart. The various dot sizes produced by XKontrol show the level of control the Bids or the Offers have at that point of time in the chart.
As the Dots grow larger, the level of Kontrol is increased. There are 3 dot sizes ranging from Small, Medium, and Large. Respectively they represent Intial Kontrol, Strong Kontrol, and Total Kontrol. Total Kontrol is achieved when either the BIDS or the OFFERS are dominating at the time. This is generally the direction you want to place your trades in and show that either the Bids or the Offers are flooding the market.
As the BID dots increase in frequency and in size this shows that the BIDS are in kontrol and dominating. Vice versa, when the OFFER dots increase in frequency and in size this shows that the offers are in kontrol and dominating. When you see the large dot that is generally a strong sign of the direction price may go. However, it also can be climactic and price could reverse. That would symbolize a case of Effort / No Result. For Example, when the BIDS are in Kontrol and dominating, make a lower low, and then price quickly reverses, it could symbolize a climax.
Usually XKontrol is used in conjunction with XPace, as XKontrol deciphers the Tape Speed of the Floor and draws graphical dots to show whether the BIDS or the OFFERS are dominating right on the chart. Reading XPace will show visually in the histogram the strength of the BID and OFFER Kontrol in the histogram.
* XKONTROL ALERTS *
Alerts can be set very easily with the instructions below.
1. Right Click Chart -> Add Alert...
2. Select Condition to be "XKontrol"
3. Select any level of Kontrol. For example you can Select "Offers Total Kontrol"
4. Select "Greater Than" with Value = 0
5. Options set "Once Per Bar Close" to only fire alert after bar closes
6. Customize Any other Alert Options you want
* EXAMPLE AND USE CASES *
Some practical examples of using XKontrol + XPace combined could be the following:
1. XKontrol Large Green Dot + XPace Large Green Bar could be that the OFFERS have gained total kontrol and are dominating against the Bids. Once would want to watch for higher prices to be potentially reached after that.
2. XKontrol Small Red Dot + XPace Large Red Bar could be that there was a lot of effort on behalf of the BIDS, but they failed to achieve any significant kontrol. The small red dot in XKontrol represents only initial kontrol which is weak kontrol. An application would be to watch for a potential break out on the up side and that will confirm that the BIDS overexerted their effort and was oversold.
3. XKontrol Red and Green Dots mixed could show that it has not been decided whether the BIDS or OFFERS are dominating and the outlook is neutral. If the XPace histogram bars don't stand out either, it would add another point for a neutral analysis.

XKontrol* XKONTROL INDICATOR *
Is a visual representation of who is in Kontrol relative to the Tape Speed of the Floor. The XKontrol indicator will show you who is in Kontrol, the BIDS or the OFFERS. This is a very powerful indicator. Great for long term plays and a *SCALPERS* paradise.
* WHAT THE SCRIPT DOES *
The XKontrol indicator reads the BIDS Being hit and the OFFERS being lifted, and then represents the strength of the Bids being hit and Offers being lifted as dots on the chart. The various dot sizes produced by XKontrol show the level of control the Bids or the Offers have at that point of time in the chart.
* HOW IT WORKS *
As the Dots grow larger, the level of Kontrol is increased. There are 3 dot sizes ranging from Small, Medium, and Large. Respectively they represent Intial Kontrol, Strong Kontrol, and Total Kontrol. Total Kontrol is achieved when either the BIDS or the OFFERS are dominating at the time. This is generally the direction you want to place your trades in and show that either the Bids or the Offers are flooding the market.

* XPACE INDICATOR *
The other indicator on the chart shown in the Histogram is called XPace. It represents a histogram view of the Tape Speed of the Floor. It correlates to XKontrol, but instead of Dots will draw histogram bars showing the extent of the BID or OFFER Control.
As the red histogram bars grow larger and increase in frequency, this shows that the BIDS are in kontrol at that time. And conversely, when the green histogram bars grow larger and instead in frequency, this shows that the OFFERS are in kontrol.
Weighing in whether the BIDS or OFFERS are in kontrol can be a helpful indicator to decide what direction the market could move in.
What is helpful about XPace is that it will show you the raw value of the BID and OFFER kontrol whereas XKontrol will classify the kontrol as either Initial, Strong, and Total. Using these 2 indicators combined has added value.

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!
Volume Wave 7vFTJR20This is the new fully auto-adjusted wave volume, there is no other indicator like this, if you know richard wyckoff techniques, this indicator will facilitate each wave of your various assets.
1.0 -
A:
Most indicators use (fixed) candle count or pivo point to convert a buy or sell wave, this indicator uses the concept of candles, if candles and aggressive volume start to find regions on top or bottom, it is already close to enter a countertrend and reverse the wave.
1.1 -
-You have hundreds of options to change the wave, just changing 2 fields "Types" and "Adjustment".
Note: the indicator automatically updates the secondary wave!
For over a year I've come up with a default Types="1" and Adjustment="0.6"
Feel free to change this pattern, the range for types is huge, but particularly I use the default for 90% of assets I analyze for any timeframe.
if you find something better, leave it in the comments to share with other users.
1.2 - The option "Use weighted volume within the wave" changes the real volume within each wave to the average volume within each wave, it is a very good strategy to use in assets that do not have liquidity or in smaller timeframes.
++++++++++++++++
Usage strategy:
++++++++++++++++
*Note: it is necessary to use the financial volume indicator (standard) to identify the divergences within the waves.
2.0 - The concept of the indicator is to measure the financial volume in each wave of the asset, it adds the volume in each candle and accumulates within each wave of the indicator, in theory, the more volume within this wave, the more money involved in this region of price.
2.1 - The indicator has 2 fractal meters, a shorter wave and a longer wave, let's call the primary short wave and the secondary long wave.
*The longer wave is positioned at the bottom, it takes longer and there may be fall situations inside it, an example of this is when we are inside a B wave of an ABC within a larger time frame (ex: Diary).
2.2 - The primary wave (Short) is faster, it oscillates within the secondary wave.
2.3 - The Secondary (Long) wave takes longer, it tends to dictate the trend of the asset when the primary is in the same color as the secondary AT THE BEGINNING OF THE TREND, that is, after two secondary waves in red (sell) and a blue wave short between the two red ones, there is the "PROBABILITY" of the tendency to become an extremely buyer, this also happens in the opposite, two buyer waves have the "PROBABILITY" of becoming a seller.
Another example:
note: in the description above I mentioned a range or corrective movement, to have a healthy view, it is highly recommended to learn about what is a corrective or impulsive wave... for beginners, a quick explanation, understand that corrective is two movements( ABC) and impulsive are three in the countertrend (*3 in the trend direction and two correctives total 5 waves), so they can contain 3 waves within a blue wave within the indicator, you will need to understand this concept!
2.4 - After understanding the above concepts, take advantage of my indicators in the future I will include the aggressor volume within each buyer and seller wave.
*The secret of reversal is 3 moves with a candle with greater volume inside wave C or
end of seller flow without bars of volume greater than the average within a wave 5, these characteristics represent the end of the trend!
2.5 - I left a pre-fixed default configuration that I use, feel free to test other patterns, I tested it on various assets, mainly in futures markets for 1 year.
- I like your feedback and leave your settings and experiences in the comments.
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.
Weis Wave Volume Bar Colours AdvancedIn this advanced version of the Weis Wave Volume Bar Colour indicator, you can change the trend length for the green & red bars individually. Alerts can also be triggered at the start of a new trend easily, by the green/red dots.
Weis Wave With Effort/Reward MatrixThis is based on Weis Wave principle with different customization. Namely
Shows Volume (in thousands) for each wave
Calculates the effort/reward matrix of each wave (proprietary calculation)
Can show either bar count or Effort/Reward (E/R) Matrix with volume for each wave
Default is E/R Matrix only
You can choose what you want to see from the indicator setting. It could be just wave volume, just ER Matrix (default), both ER Matrix and volume, ER Matrix and bar count or all three.
How It Works
BUY - Look for a wave (down) that ends at and around a same level with double or more ER Matrix
SELL- Look for a wave (up) that ends at and around a same level with double or more ER Matrix
There is also a principle called fading E/R Matrix that suggest the dying interest of either buyers or sellers. That also could be a good pointer to initiate fresh trades in the direction against the fading participants.
Points To Note
That said, it is best that you try to align it with your own trading style and existing principles. For example, I use only this indicator and don't even use candle sticks. It's more to do with the way I want to wade away negative and psychological brain fades. I generally use it with E/R Matrix only. As I have mentioned earlier, I always look for a level failure, i.e when I see the price fail to make a new high/low at around the same level with double or more E/R Matrix value. When this happens the price tends to reverse direction. I generally keep the SL 10 pips below/above the last wave end depending on the kind of trade I am into. What I have seen, it has a decent accuracy rate. Of course you ought to have basic price action idea to use this indicator effectively. It is for the people who have prior price action knowledge, so don't expect the script to generate buy/sell signal, because it won't. This indicator itself is an ecosystem of trading and you have to use it based on your trading style.
You can apply it on to your existing charts (bar, candle, line) or can use the wave alone as I do. Just make sure that you keep your opacity of your candles/bars to a level that makes the wave itself more prominent.
The colour combination looks best on a dark background
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:

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.

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!
[HWVZ] Hiubris WeisVolume ZigZagThis script follows the Zig Zag pattern of price movement, based on the Weis Wave Volume indicator.
The Weis Wave Volume shows the cumulative volume from the lowest point of the price swing to the highest point (or vice versa)
The user has the option to change the Trend Detection Length of the indicator to adjust the swings frequency (from say 5 to any value above or below)
The user has the option to display Support & Resistance lines based on those turning points
The user has the option to display Info Labels for each swing
The user has the option to change the Weis Wave Volume Timeframe

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.

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.

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.
