This post would probably be a good starting point:

Several documents are attached to the post, one of his books too.

This is a duplicate of an earlier post and is here to seed this new thread, please post Wyckoff resources in this thread as you find them.


-----------------

There is the Yahoo group run by Gassah (who contributes to this board and this thread), this is at:
http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/Wyckoff-SMI/

There is a broker site with material, at:
http://www.ltg-trading.com/site%20map.htm
with archives at
http://www.ltg-trading.com/archives.htm

Gassah put me onto this info at:

I learnt a lot on Wyckoff from a poster on other forums, goes by the name of 'motorway' on Australian Stock Forums and The Chartist forums. While the specifics and charts of what he talks about refer to Australian equities, most of the posts are more to do with principles, which are of course applicable to any liquid, exchange-trade instrument.
If you search for his name on
http://www.aussiestockforums.com/
and
http://www.thechartist.com.au/forum/ubbthreads.php
you will get great info.

Motorway put me onto this website, which introduces Wyckoff really well, in a straightforward manner:
http://www.stockmarket-operator.com/
Really good as introductory material.

Nearly forget, there are many articles around by Hank Pruden, do a search for his name and there are quite a few pieces. He has written a book recently, which I haven't read yet, and runs a course in San Francisco.
Also, articles around by Coppola and Forte.

Here are the links to the articles by Forte and Coppola.[/quote]



OK, paid resources are even fewer.

There are books by Richard Wyckoff himself, check them out at Amazon or wherever. There is his 'Day Traders Bible' which can be found as a free download here.

There is a book by Jack Hutson: Charting the Stockmarket, The Wyckoff Method. I found it a difficult read, probably because I thought it was an introductory text, or beginners text. It is much more than that and as your knowledge grows of Wyckoff it pays re- and re-reading, there is a lot in it. This book is really cheap, its $14.95 at Amazon and its value is much much more than the better marketed technical analysis books out there.

Then finally there is the Wyckoff course run by the Stock Market Institute, at:
http://wyckoffstockmarketinstitute.com/

There are free resources on this site at
http://wyckoffstockmarketinstitute.com/corner.htm
The article at
http://wyckoffstockmarketinstitute.com/goal_article.htm
is great introductory material.

Thats it - if you find other resources, post them up!

There are also, of course, the Stickies provided at the beginning of this Forum. The Introduction includes a pdf of Wyckoff's Studies in Tape Reading, later edited to become The Day Trader's Bible, followed by excerpted chapters (sections) from his original course.

Thank-you - let's keep the Wyckoff resources coming!

A little overview I ran across.

BTW, Wyckoff penned the book "Studies in Tape Reading" under the nom-de-plume of "Rollo Tape" in 1910. I have uploaded it to the TL file sharing facility; download the book here. Or click the attachment below.

	Goodmorning DbPhoenix, do you know if the original Wyckoff course is still for sale ? If yes, do you know where can I find additional information about it and eventually who can I buy it from ? Thank you for your kind attention. Mike

At the moment, no. The chapters posted here, as noted, are from the original. The SMI adaptation of it is available, but it runs around $1000.

If you're interested in that, links are provided in the Wyckoff Resources thread. If you're not, study the chapters posted here which, for the most part, focus on the fundamental concepts. Then review the posts which, for the most part, have to do with application. Then put in your own screentime (which can't be avoided, no matter how much you read or how much you spend) and try to apply what you've learned (or think you've learned) in real time.

The process of learning how to trade this -- or any other approach -- is considerably more involved, however. More detail can be found in The Trading Journal and The Trading Log.

	Great, thanks for your suggestions Db. I will follow your indications and will order a few books about Wyckoff on Amazon, before evaluating if to take or not SMI course. Best regards. Mike

If you enjoy "market books" in general, and classic market books specifically, and if you're looking primarily for trading advice and "wisdom", then you will likely find all of these books enjoyable. However, if you're looking for specifics on how to implement Wyckoff's ideas, you will likely be disappointed.

Those of Wyckoff's books which are available are useful primarily for preparing you mentally for the nuts and bolts of creating and developing a trading strategy based on his ideas. But, contrary to what you might expect, the best book to help in implementation is one written not by Wyckoff but by Jack Hutson, Charting the Stock Market, even though some believe that it goes into too much detail and can be intimidating. There is also mine (click my name, below).

Therefore, if you can obtain these books without spending too much money, buy them, read them, enjoy them. But don't expect a course.
