Weis Wave Volume MTF

🎯 Indicator Name
Weis Wave Volume (Multi‑Timeframe) — adapted from the original “Weis Wave Volume by LazyBear.”
This version adds multi‑timeframe (MTF) readings, configurable colors, font size, and screen position for clear dashboard‑style display.

🧠 Concept Background — What is Weis Wave Volume (WWV)?
The Weis Wave Volume indicator originates from Wyckoff and David Weis’ techniques.
Its purpose is to link price movement “waves” with the amount of traded volume to reveal how strong or weak each wave is.

Instead of showing bars one by one, WWV accumulates the total volume while price keeps moving in the same direction.
When price direction changes (up → down or down → up), it:

Finishes the previous wave volume total.
Starts a new wave and begins accumulating again.
Those wave volumes help traders see:

Effort vs Result: Big volume with small price move ⇒ absorption; low volume with big move ⇒ weak participation.
Trend confirmation or exhaustion: High volume waves in trend direction strengthen it, while low‑volume waves hint exhaustion.
⚙️ How this Script Works
Trend & Wave Detection

Compares close with the previous bar to determine up or down movement (mov).
Detects trend reversals (when mov direction changes).
Builds “waves,” each representing a continuous run of bars in one direction.
Volume Accumulation

While price keeps the same direction, the script adds each bar’s volume to the running total (vol).
When direction flips, it resets that total and starts a new wave.
Multi‑Timeframe Computation

Calculates these wave volumes on three timeframes at once, chosen dynamically:

Active Chart Timeframe Displays WWV for:
1 min  1 min  
5 min  5 min  
15 min  15 min  
Any other  Chart TF  
It uses request.security() to pull each timeframe’s latest WWV value and current wave direction.

Visual Output

Instead of plotting histogram bars, it shows a table with three numeric values:

WWV (1): 25.3 M | (15): 312 M | (240): 2.46 B
Each value is color‑coded:
user‑selected Uptrend Color when price wave = up
user‑selected Downtrend Color when wave = down
You can position this small table in any corner/center (top / bottom × left / center / right).
Font size is user‑adjustable (Tiny → Huge).

📈 How Traders Use It
Quickly gauge buying vs selling effort across multiple horizons.
Compare short‑term wave volume to higher‑timeframe waves to spot:
Alignment → all up and big volumes = strong trend
Divergence → small or opposite‑colored higher‑TF wave = potential reversal or pause
Combine with Wyckoff, VSA, or standard trend analysis to judge if a breakout or pullback has real participation.
