I am a follower of the VSA/Wyckoff approach, especially Tom Williams.

 

Recently, the folks at Tradeguider has embraced the Weis Wave,

developed by David Weis, a Wyckoff specialist.

 

It looks like it accumulates the total volume of not the individual bars,

but rather the waves that forms.

 

Is this another tool that should be

mastered to acquire the skills necessary to trade VSA?

It looks like Dr. Dayton has totally embraced this tool as well.

 

Personally, I feel that there is no reason to add any new

material to those taught by Tom Williams, the father of VSA.

 

I am interested in any opinions you may have.

 

Thanks

David Weis is someone I really respect. I don't own his Weis Wave but I coded my own. I find it helpful along side VSA and the Wyckoff Method. I've only been using it for a short while and IMO it shows areas of no supply/demand and areas where there is a lot of effort and not much result allowing to either take positions with more confidence or where there isn't a bar you would take a position off of. It also shows the shortening of the thrust indicating potential reversals.

 

Its a tool like anything else. Its simple in its design and anyone with familiarity with the three basic Wyckoff laws will find it useful. (Supply v Demand, Effort v Result and Cause v Effect).

 

Just my two cents.

I'm not sure if it will matter to the interpretation, but Williams' VSA is not pure Wyckoff. It is modified Wykcoff. As I understand it, Weis and Gary Fullett are pure Wyckoff instructors. So, I'm not sure if there might be some minor conflict in interpretation of the Weis Wave vs. VSA.

Your statement is 100% correct !!!

 

David & Gary are purists. I like the old masters :) .

I recall reading somewhere in this forum that Eiger

is actually Dr. Dayton.

 

His analysis on this forum is my favorite since the setups he looks for

are clearly explained in detail using VSA principles.

 

By the way, Gavin has a 2nd book that shows the sequence of

VSA principles that he looks for before taking a trade.

I think it may still be available for free.

 

I thought that this book helps out a lot in avoiding low

probability trades, and adds a lot of structure in analyzing the market.

Dr. Dayton was taught by David Weis. He also is a user of the Weis Wave and has numerous mentions of it on his website and in the charts he posts.

 

I have been waiting eagerly for David Weis's book to be published.

 

Looks like it will come out in early 2013, according to the

Amazon website. In the mean time, I should probably

go to his website to learn more about the Wyckoff method.

Has anyone seen mboxx.org? Looks similar to weis wave, but uses boxes intstead of the zig zag indicator to accumulate volume, and also it accumulates time. This is very intersting since weis wave does not show accumulation of time. I read and am studying wyckoff logic, and wyckoff wrote that volume and time are correlated. Interesting. Anybody have any thoughts about this? I haven't bought it....

    • @sxiqxx, Well done on making your first post a promising strategy. @everyone, post up if you want this coded into an EA. Although I switched to TradeStation, I still have an active MT5 demo with MetaEditor. I can code it without referencing object oriented programming which should be retroactively compatible with MT4. Let me know...
    • Please allow me to retort (in jest): RESPONSE 1 : Get a job supervising others where you're in control of performance reports and ride those others 100%. This makes your performance 100% with little to no effort.   RESPONSE 2: Feel free to piss off your boss but stay nonviolent. When the side effects of his viagra and testosterone boosters cause him to physically assault you, you have the legal upper hand. This can result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 3: Feel free to have intimate relations with your boss if she finds you attractive. Rest assured that mum's the word because once again, you have the legal upper hand. This can also result in a boatload of trading capital.   RESPONSE 4: Don't be fake friends with any enemies... unless you need information from them. Being fake friends with everyone will cause you to become an empty shell of a person with no direction in life.   REPONSE 5: Get your boss to become reliant on your performance (really, just the performance of your subordinates), and then plan an "overheard" conversation wherein you fake an interview with another potential employer. You'll probably get a pay increase or a promotion.   RESPONSE 6: If you can give your 75% percent to a project, give 50% and rely on your legal upper hand(s). Learn to write trading algo's during your other 50%.   RESPONSE 7: Take all of the office boys out to nightclub where you merely sip soft drinks on a weeknight. Upon your return to the office in the morning, inform the security guards that all of the office boys are intoxicated. Your boss will love you for it.   RESPONSE 8: Never try to prove your client wrong or find faults in their processes, but do secretly collect their information in case you jump ship or "someone you know" decides to start his own company.   RESPONSE 9: Never stay in a firm for too long. Instead, use your ill-gotten capital to exit the rat-race and start trading.   RESPONSE 10: Trading pays more than your career. Interpersonal skills are now irrelevant. Use your technical skills for trading. Never stop learning and keep updating your technical skills.😁
    • There are a lot of trading strategies like elliot waves, wyckoff etc so we need to apply those who best suited to our need and are understandable too.
    • Scalping can be good during the high volatile markets however the new traders should be careful while entering and exiting the markets too quickly since they can make losses as well. If the broker support news trading we can make most out of the scalping in my opinion.  
    • In my opinion these candlestick charts are more easier to understand as compared with the other charts.
