Hi DbPhoenix, Sorry to hear that your Wyckoff forum is pretty much dead. I have heard that a lot of traders don't know much about Wyckoff. In case you are interested in attending, there is a conference on Wyckoff called 'Best of Wyckoff' coming up in San Francisco on August 15th, I plan on going myself. Linda Rashke, David Weis and my professor, Hank Pruden are among the speakers who will be there. If you think anyone here would be interested, I could share the details. Oh, and in answer to your question, I have traded in a live account using my knowledge of Wyckoff. And even in this sideways market I have been pretty successful, which makes me thankful I have taken up trading and don't just put my money to work in mindless indexed funds. Cheers, CA The Wyckoff Forum may be dead, but there's quite a bit of activity stemming from the SLAB. Few traders know much about Wyckoff because his course didn't become available until just a few years ago. Until then, anyone who was interested had to get by with interpretations, such as Evans' (with the ice and the creek and the spring and so forth). It's good to hear that you're enjoying some success with it. Before you get too much further, you may be interested in looking at the original course. There are to me some significant differences.

I just wanted to introduce myself and say hello. I started learning technical analysis about 6 years ago, initially through William O'Neill's famous book. I read IBD everyday and went to IBD meetups and this was a great kickstart for me in TA, but after awhile it seemed like there had to be a deeper understanding that one could gain that was missing from my learning. That is when I did some research and found out about a graduate level program in technical analysis in my area. While taking the introduction course I learned about Richard Wyckoff and my next 2 courses there were dedicated to his teachings, the Wyckoff I and Wyckoff II courses. I've now taken 4 courses and after my next one this fall in Behavorial Finance, I will earn my certificate in Technical Analysis. I feel so fortunate to be learning the methods that Richard D. Wyckoff discovered during his life on Wall Street. And it's great to have this meeting place to discuss it with other interested traders. Armed with Richard D.'s incredibly insightful way of seeing the market forces at work and understanding how to harness that understanding to our advantage, we can all help each other out to be the best traders we can be.
