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....

    • “If the West finds itself falling behind in AI, it won’t be due to a lack of technological prowess or resources. It won’t be because we weren’t smart enough or didn’t move fast enough. It will be because of something many of our Eastern counterparts don’t share with us: fear of AI.   The root of the West's fear of AI can no doubt be traced back to decades of Hollywood movies and books that have consistently depicted AI as a threat to humanity. From the iconic "Terminator" franchise to the more recent "Ex Machina," we have been conditioned to view AI as an adversary, a force that will ultimately turn against us.   In contrast, Eastern cultures have a WAY different attitude towards AI. As UN AI Advisor Neil Sahota points out, "In Eastern culture, movies, and books, they've always seen AI and robots as helpers and assistants, as a tool to be used to further the benefit of humans."   This positive outlook on AI has allowed countries like Japan, South Korea, and China to forge ahead with AI development, including in areas like healthcare, where AI is being used to improve the quality of services.   The West's fear of AI is not only shaping public opinion but also influencing policy decisions and regulatory frameworks. The European Union, for example, recently introduced AI legislation prioritizing heavy-handed protection over supporting innovation.   While such measures might be well-intentioned, they risk stifling AI development and innovation, making it harder for Western companies and researchers to compete.   Among the nations leading common-sense AI regulation, one stands out for now: Singapore.” – Chris C Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
