Hi cmacdon
Thanks for that programming. Been looking for something like this for ages, as it seems the true way to interpret volume and should help immensely with swing trading.

I have used it and after doing some research and checking on Weis, noticed that the parameters for cumulative and average volume are reversed.
ie. imo using parameter 2 for total/cumulative is the Weis way.

Also Weis wave uses the cumulative volume number shown on the price chart at each pivot point.
Whereas in this it shows the price pivot.

When doing more research on Weis and looking at video examples  of his method, he definitely does not use volume at all. Rather uses cumulative volume for each wave and his method shows this number on each pivot point. He shows that u cant interpret time based volume as a force for each wave and that the cumulative volume number for each of the waves, is a must for interpretation of what is next.

So question is - any chance of updating this for these points?
Or can u point me in a direction where I can get it done.

Also a good source forunderstanding is the free nightly newsletter by David Weiss on Weissonwyckoff.com  where Weiss shows how he applies Wyckoff and every few days uses his Weiss Wave for another angle on the US index

For those interested in Wyckoff etc.
visit http://www.readtheticker.com/Default.aspx

Go to education and Indicator Library. Click RTT VolumeWave and you will see
a number of dot points explaining the wave.

As the scientist say we all standing on the shoulders of the greats who went before us. 
 
I am far from any expertise in  any coding but can I adapt some combination of other indicator codes if I am really interested in the particular indicator outcome for my own use. 
 
I find the easiestt sources of coding is to adapt from either Tradersonline.tk  where there are some great Metastock indicator codes particulallarly by the prolific Jose Silva, and Roy Larsen that can be easily converted to Bullscript; or some of the great bullscript coding already provided on this Bullchart forum by the prolific Maximo in particular and Blackdog,
 
My 3 posts today are purely because I was interested over recent years in VSA, Heikin Ashi and Weiss wave and decided to to put something back of the benefits I have received from these other people when a couple of posts came up recently.

Fantastic work
  This one was definatly beyond my programing. I will have to get the book when it come out to break it all down.
Once again thank you for your efforts.

Here are two separate  indicators that may help.  Each indicator needs to be coordinated by using the same vibration variable . 
The first one is the wave with a selectable vibration variable.  I find most ASX stocks vibrate well at either 3,4,5 or 7.
 
The second indicator shows in a separate panel the  total volume on up and down waves similar to Weiss, and you can change tot he average volume per up and down wave similar to Tim Ord's work.

I was wondering if anyone has had a look at the Weis Wave.
 It looks as if the volume is added to preceeding volume if the close is up.
 When the close changes then the volume count restarts.
