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....

    • Date: 22nd November 2024.   BTC flirts with $100K, Stocks higher, Eurozone PMI signals recession risk.   Asia & European Sessions:   Geopolitical risks are back in the spotlight on fears of escalation in the Ukraine-Russia after Russia reportedly used a new ICBM to retaliate against Ukraine’s use of US and UK made missiles to attack inside Russia. The markets continue to assess the election results as President-elect Trump fills in his cabinet choices, with the key Treasury Secretary spot still open. The Fed’s rate path continues to be debated with a -25 bp December cut seen as 50-50. Earnings season is coming to an end after mixed reports, though AI remains a major driver. Profit taking and rebalancing into year-end are adding to gyrations too. Wall Street rallied, led by the Dow’s 1.06% broadbased pop. The S&P500 advanced 0.53% and the NASDAQ inched up 0.03%. Asian stocks rose after  Nvidia’s rally. Nikkei added 1% to 38,415.32 after the Tokyo inflation data slowed to 2.3% in October from 2.5% in the prior month, reaching its lowest level since January. The rally was also supported by chip-related stocks tracked Nvidia. Overnight-indexed swaps indicate that it’s certain the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will cut its policy rate by 50 basis points on Nov. 27, with a 22% chance of a 75 basis points reduction. European stocks futures climbed even though German Q3 GDP growth revised down to 0.1% q/q from the 0.2% q/q reported initially. Cryptocurrency market has gained approximately $1 trillion since Trump’s victory in the Nov. 5 election. Recent announcement for the SEC boosted cryptos. Chair Gary Gensler will step down on January 20, the day Trump is set to be inaugurated. Gensler has pushed for more protections for crypto investors. MicroStrategy Inc.’s plans to accelerate purchases of the token, and the debut of options on US Bitcoin ETFs also support this rally. Trump’s transition team has begun discussions on the possibility of creating a new White House position focused on digital asset policy.     Financial Markets Performance: The US Dollar recovered overnight and closed at 107.00. Bitcoin currently at 99,300,  flirting with a run toward the 100,000 level. The EURUSD drifts below 1.05, the GBPUSD dips to June’s bottom at 1.2570, while USDJPY rebounded to 154.94.

Gold spiked to 2,697 after escalation alerts between Russia and Ukraine. Heightened geopolitical tensions drove investors toward safe-haven assets. Gold has surged by 30% this year.
