Weis Wave VolumeThis indicator is based on the Weis Wave described by David H. Weis in his book Trades About to Happen: A Modern Adaptation of the Wyckoff Method, more info how to use this indicator can also be found in this video . The Weis Wave is an adaptation of Richard D. Wyckoff’s method Wave Charts. It works in all time periods and can be applied to all asset types. For assets that do not support volume Weis propose in his book to use the true range instead, so if you want to use this indicator for assets that do not support volume, make sure to enable the checkbox "Use True Range instead of Volume".
Unlike other implementations I found here on Trading, this implementation make use of a Renko-like zig zag pattern, very similar to how it is described in David H. Weis' book. The settings for the zig zag pattern are very similar to the standard Renko settings here on PulseWire, in the "Renko Assignment Method" you either chose "ATR" or "Traditional" (read more about it here ). The ATR length or the brick size is then entered in the textbox "Value". You can also chose another setting in the "Renko Assignment Method" drop down named "Part of Price" which calculate the brick size from the current close and divide it by the value in the text box "Value". It is also possible to chose if the zig zag pattern shall use the high/low, the open/close or just the close as the most extreme values in its calculation, you select this in the drop down "Price Source". If you want the price to oscillate around a zero value, enable the "Oscillating" checkbox.
PulseWire's pine script does currently not support to print non-static text on the chart, so it is not possible at this point to write out the volume on the zig zag chart. It is also not possible to have both an overlay and separate chart pane in the same indicator, therefor this indicator is split up in two.
