A clean-room open-source implementation of Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) and Bid/Ask Volume studies compatible with MotiveWave Community and Standard editions.
These studies provide the core order-flow analysis layer (volume classification based on bid/ask aggressor ticks) which is typically restricted to premium editions of the platform.
- OHLC Candle Rendering: Plots cumulative delta as candlestick bars (open, high, low, close of running delta within each bar).
- Flexible Reset Options: Resets to zero on session (RTH/ETH), weekly, monthly boundaries, or custom time schedules.
- Divergence Detection: Built-in engine to identify price/CVD swing divergences (exhaustion/absorption).
- Immediate Divergence: Flags short-term effort-vs-result imbalances (large delta with minimal price movement) on the candle they occur.
- Performance Optimized: Throttled rendering updates to maintain UI responsiveness on volatile markets.
- Split Paths: Plots ask-aggressor volume (buying pressure) and bid-aggressor volume (selling pressure) as two independent paths in a subplot.
- Intra-bar Analysis: Visualizes crossovers and dominance shifts between buying and selling pressure.
- RTH Filter: Option to restrict volume accumulation to regular trading hours.
- MotiveWave: Community Edition or higher (macOS or Windows).
- Market Data: A Level 2 (DOM) or bid/ask tick data feed (required to classify trades).
- Build Environment: Java Development Kit (JDK) 17+ and Apache Maven.
- Verify that MotiveWave is installed at the default location, or adjust the
<mwave.sdk>path property inpom.xmlto point to yourmwave_sdk.jar(e.g./Applications/MotiveWave.app/Contents/Java/mwave_sdk.jaron macOS). - Build the project using Maven:
mvn clean package
- The compiled extension will be generated as
target/WyckFlowFreeStudies.jar.
- Copy the compiled
WyckFlowFreeStudies.jarto your MotiveWave extensions directory:- macOS / Windows: Drop the jar into
~/MotiveWave Extensions/
- macOS / Windows: Drop the jar into
- Restart MotiveWave.
- The studies will be available under the WyckFlow.com menu group (or via the Study search dialog).
