Let's Start From The Beginning!
Wyckoff Wave Chart created by Richard Wyckoff in early 1930' were a breakthrough in technical analysis. In his famous technical analysis course, he told his students to "think like waves". Volume analysis was an integral part of his way of investing. During the period when Wyckoff was active in the financial markets wave volume was calculated manually, we now have a fully automated version for TradingView. Using Wyckoff Cumulative Volume you will be surprised how well it identifies turning points in all markets and on any time frame. This tool is very helpful in predicting trend changes in all markets like forex, crypto, futures and stocks.
In order for the indicator to work well on all charts, it is necessary to set the appropriate step in its settings.
"Step" is the wave setting to be taken into account when counting the volume on a given swing. The standard setting for each round is 30. This is the measure of pips on which the next upward or downward wave is to be counted. However, for individual assets, these settings can be adjusted individually.
Another important setting is the "Volume Divider" - the cumulative volume numbers on a given swing displayed on the chart will be different for different assets. In the case of penny stocks, it can be even millions of listed assets. In order for the chart not to display too long numbers, you can divide it by 1000 / 10000 / 100000. In the case of small intervals such as 1 or 5 minute charts, "O" may appear at the ends of swings. You should then reduce the "Volume Divider" to 1 or 10.
