For those who saw that Fancy Bar Timer and said "I have to have that!" like I did, well here you go:

Note: I haven't tested it yet to make sure it works.

I also like the PRV volume study. Al does not appear to use volume but there appears to be a synergy.

Attached are the ~5x reduced and converted versions to SWF or Flash video. The sizes are about 20 and 26 MB. Use something like the free SWF Opener to play if you don't have a player.

BF, these SWF are now hosted on TL and are basically slide shows with audio, which may be as good or better than a PDF.

SWF Opener setup

Downloaded the two files and the SWF opener,
installed the latter, but unable to open the files to view, normally when you install any program, it should be in the program folder, and if the exe. file does not appear on the desktop, you can drag it from the program folder.
However nothing doing here,
Apparently it does not like the browser I am running which is Opera.
Any suggestions.

I use media player classic (a basic lightweight media player) with the K-Lite codec pack (codecs for just about everything you might want to play). Doesn't answer your question but is an alternative way to view them.

Presume you are referring to Windows media player , is it then just a matter of downloading a free K-lite codec pack off the internet .

Anyway transferred the file and SWF to my another computer which I use strictly for charting where there is still windows internet explorer and it is o.k

Looks like on the other Opera's java script block was causing the problem.

However will try your codec pack and see if the viewing is better.

Al Brooks certainly comes through as a competent trader, have not gone through both of them as yet, probably will do it tomorrow, gorgeous day outside to be sitting in front of a computer)
Am also going through the 50page PDF , lot of price action is consistent with Wyckoff although Al does not use vol, but he does use terms like climax etc and think in his book there is a section with vol.

Like you have ordered his book, would certainly be useful not only for my trading but for the learning curve of my family members.

Actually Media Player Classic (aka "MPC") is different from Windows Media Player (aka "WMP"). It is far superior to WMP, and it is free, open source, and as BlowFish said, it doesn't require much space on your hard drive. To clarify, WMP is a Microsoft product, and MPC is not. I alternate between MPC and VLC for video playing, and with these two along with the proper codecs (K-lite codec packs are good), you can play just about anything.

MPC: SourceForge.net: guliverkli
VLC: VLC media player - Open Source Multimedia Framework and Player

Here is a article I read in futures mag once by Al Brooks that I really liked. I am not a sure if this copy of it has pictures of the charts like the mag did but it is still worth a read over.

Great stuff, there is a lot going for Al Brooks analysis, guess we should have a thread "Trading Al Brooks Way",

think if one has an understanding of wyckoff, it is relatively easier to understand his terms and to visualise what part volume could be playing, although Al himself does not focus on that. But looking at the content of his book on internet, there is a mention of vol I believe. could be wrong.

Anyway in Wyckoff forum they have shown that vol. only is relevant when prices approach certain support/resistance zone, trendlines etc.

IMO combination Al brooks bar by bar price action and Wyckoff price/vol (EFFORTv/s RESULT) should be beneficial to all traders. and ofcourse to cap it all, add Taylors method and then the focus can only be on the expected trend , and the trading rules for a particular day.

BTW the articles do not have charts, do you have them, if so would it possible to upload them here. However have ordered his book, so presume all this stuff would be there.
