Here is the Weis Wave Volume indicator for ThinkorSwim converted from the Lazy Bear's version over at TradingView. In addition, I also found another indicator called Weis Wave Volume with ZigZag so I'll include that in this post as well.

@Topas I see what happen there. Go to Settings > Equities and make sure you enable "Show volume subgraph".

rec trend = if inflection == 1 and mode == -1 then 1 else if inflection == 1 and mode == 1 then -1 else trend[1];



rec upWaveVolume = if inflection == 1 and trend == 1 and close > open then volume else if inflection == 1 and trend == 1 and close <= open then 0 else if trend == 1 or (inflection == 1 and trend == -1 and close >= open) then upWaveVolume[1] + volume else 0;

rec downWaveVolume = if inflection == 1 and trend == -1 and close < open then volume else if inflection == 1 and trend == -1 and close >= open then 0 else if trend == -1 or (inflection == 1 and trend == 1 and close <= open) then downWaveVolume[1] + volume else 0;



plot upvol = upWaveVolume;

upvol.SetDefaultColor(color.dark_green);

upvol.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.Histogram);

upvol.SetLineWeight(5);

plot dnvol = downWaveVolume;

This WeisWave looks interesting - I would appreciate if @BenTen et al. who are familiar with Thinkscript could explain a bit about what this script is doing. I haven't seen some of these commands / functions before.
 
Same question as @thevelvetrock asked. Can somebody edit the zigzag code so that the volume number format can be changed? Reading 8/9 digit numbers is not very convenient. It would be nice to be able to round up the values, like David does in his webinars.

The indicator sums up the volume in the wave and displays the amount at the swing extremum. On very liquid instruments, the values are gigantic (8-9-10 digits), which is very uncomfortable to analyse.

So, this is the question. How to add a field that allows rounding out the output values?

Code is below. Thank you!

@ShinJ
To round the volumes printed on the Weis Wave chart by 100,000; replace the last six lines of the program with the following:

Code:
plot uVol = if (displayMode == displayMode.volume and barsDown == 1 and barsUp==0) then Round("number" = upWaveVolume[1] / 100000, "numberOfDigits" = 1)  else double.nan;
uVol.SetPaintingStrategy(paintingStrategy.VALUES_ABOVE);
uVol.SetDefaultColor(color.dark_green);

plot dVol = if (displayMode == displayMode.volume and barsUp == 1 and barsDown==0) then Round("number" = downWaveVolume[1] / 100000, "numberOfDigits" = 1) else double.nan;
dVol.SetPaintingStrategy(paintingStrategy.VALUES_BELOW);
dVol.SetDefaultColor(color.red);

For not "very liquid instruments", this will result in zero being displayed. Hope this helps.

@option_trader I'm seeing ZigZag being included in that script, be careful as it will repaint. That being said, not sure if it will be compatible with the mobile app.
 
Is it possible within thinkscript to calculate the percentage change in average volume between prior high or prior low pivots? i.e. in ShinJ's post, the last pivot high of 615 would have a calculation of (615-519)/519 * 100 so an increase of 18%.... and the 519 value would have the calc between 519 and 548.. and the low pivot points would have a similar concept to it..

the pdf link describes more about using percent changes

Thank you for sharing .. Great Indicator, is there a way to stop it from re-painting?
 
Made a self-adjusting version that changes the % percent parameter based on ATR, so you dont have to change settings every time you switch symbols to keep it accurate. Add it to studies and just leave it alone and you're good to go (unless you wanna change the ATR length)

Code:
declare lower;

def price = hlc3;


input atrlength = 20;
input atraverageType = AverageType.Exponential;

def ATR = MovingAverage(atraverageType, TrueRange(high, close, low), atrlength);

def atrperc = (atr/close )* 100;


def reversalAmount = atrperc;

input reversalMode = {price, default percent};

def mode = if reversalMode == reversalMode.price then ZigZagTrendSign(price = price, reversalAmount = reversalAmount) else ZigZagTrendPercent(price = price, reversalAmount = reversalAmount);

def inflection = if reversalMode == reversalMode.price then if !IsNaN(ZigZagSign(price = price, reversalAmount = reversalAmount)) then 1 else 0 else if !IsNaN(ZigZagPercent(price = price, reversalAmount = reversalAmount)) then 1 else 0;

rec trend = if inflection == 1 and mode == -1 then 1 else if inflection == 1 and mode == 1 then -1 else trend[1];



rec upWaveVolume = if inflection == 1 and trend == 1 and close > open then volume else if inflection == 1 and trend == 1 and close <= open then 0 else if trend == 1 or (inflection == 1 and trend == -1 and close >= open) then upWaveVolume[1] + volume else 0;

rec downWaveVolume = if inflection == 1 and trend == -1 and close < open then volume else if inflection == 1 and trend == -1 and close >= open then 0 else if trend == -1 or (inflection == 1 and trend == 1 and close <= open) then downWaveVolume[1] + volume else 0;



plot upvol = upWaveVolume;

upvol.SetDefaultColor(color.dark_green);

upvol.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.Histogram);

upvol.SetLineWeight(5);

plot dnvol = downWaveVolume;

dnvol.SetDefaultColor( Color.DownTICK);

dnvol.SetPaintingStrategy(PaintingStrategy.Histogram);

dnvol.SetLineWeight(5);


addlabel(yes, "ATR(" + ATRLENGTH+ "): " + aspercent(ATRPERC/100), COLOR.LIGHT_GRAY);

add to bottom of your script:

Could you add Candle Painting upper?
added painting input for colorbars
Code:
declare lower;

def price = hlc3;


input atrlength = 20;
input atraverageType = AverageType.Exponential;
input reversalMode = {price, default percent};

input colorbars = no;

def ATR = MovingAverage(atraverageType, TrueRange(high, close, low), atrlength);

def atrperc = (atr/close )* 100;


def reversalAmount = atrperc;



def mode = if reversalMode == reversalMode.price then ZigZagTrendSign(price = price, reversalAmount = reversalAmount) else ZigZagTrendPercent(price = price, reversalAmount = reversalAmount);

def inflection = if reversalMode == reversalMode.price then if !IsNaN(ZigZagSign(price = price, reversalAmount = reversalAmount)) then 1 else 0 else if !IsNaN(ZigZagPercent(price = price, reversalAmount = reversalAmount)) then 1 else 0;

Hi Johnny Cash, Can you please show me how to scan for Upvol and Dnvol for weis wave volume study? Thanks.

Here is the Weis Wave Volume indicator for ThinkorSwim converted from the Lazy Bear's version over at TradingView. In addition, I also found another indicator called Weis Wave Volume with ZigZag so I'll include that in this post as well.

Hi Ben, is it possible to scan for upwavevolume or downwavevolume in the weis wave study?
I see the following error when I try

com.devexperts.tos.thinkscript.runtime.TooComplexException: The complexity of the expression suggests that it may not be reliable with real-time data.

can you please show how to scan for upwavevolume or downwavevolume? Thanks,

yea that means the calculation is too complex to be able to scan with. Nothing can be done bout that
 
Same question as @thevelvetrock asked. Can somebody edit the zigzag code so that the volume number format can be changed? Reading 8/9 digit numbers is not very convenient. It would be nice to be able to round up the values, like David does in his webinars.

The indicator sums up the volume in the wave and displays the amount at the swing extremum. On very liquid instruments, the values are gigantic (8-9-10 digits), which is very uncomfortable to analyse.

So, this is the question. How to add a field that allows rounding out the output values?

Code is below. Thank you!

Question: does the volume number on thee reversal bars indicate how much volume is needed for a reversal? If not, what does it mean? I'm having a hard time understanding. Thanks in advance.
