For what it's worth, google books has a few copies of "the ticker" and "wall street magazine" available for free download.

The original course is available from the Library of Congress (it was never put into book form, as was common back then with regard to courses, which is why so many of them are lost to us) and has been uploaded here.

 

The basics of the basics are provided here in the stickies. The core of the course, to me, is Section 7 (below). Therefore, regardless of what you decide to do with regard to the entire course, I suggest you read the first stickie, Wyckoff Lite, to become at least acquainted with the underlying concepts.

 

A great deal of what has been written about Wyckoff, particularly during the resurgence of interest in the "classics" over the past decade or so, is at best inaccurate and at worst blatantly untrue. Many traders will tell you, for example, that they are "Wyckoff traders" simply because they've decided to incorporate "volume" into their trading, and that by doing so they are employing the "Wyckoff Method". Volume, however, as you will learn, is only a part of the approach and isn't even necessary to applying it. You will also come across a wide range of approaches that claim to be "based on Wyckoff". However, since nearly all of what's been written with regard to technical analysis over the past hundred years is based on either Wyckoff or Schabacker, this claim doesn't mean a great deal. If you want to know what is legitimately Wyckoff, it makes sense for you to study Wyckoff himself, not what I nor anybody else says about him. In this way, you can build a conceptual framework for trading and investing that is uniquely yours.

So very true ... As in most areas of life, most folks never take the time to read the original thinker, and instead take watered down derivitive thinking for the real thing.

Someone converted the bars for "Analysis of 1930-31 charts" into csv form. It makes going through the PDF much easier when you can draw trendlines, volume at price etc. using your own charting package. Hope this helps.

 

Here is the file, thanks should go to the person at Yahoo.wyckoff who did the conversion though.

I created that file almost 10 years ago. It took some judgment and lots of time to extract the H,L,C and Volume, but I did my best. Please note that I doubled the Volume on the Saturday sessions.

 

I'm glad you posted it here because I was about to do it myself. Also for my own use (not in the file referenced here), I added some "price data filler" in the beginning to allow a chart window to be open full size and start the data scrolling with out messing up the scaling.

This is a tool I find very useful to study pictures of charts, like in forums or PDF documents, to see which volume bar belongs with which price bar, hence the reason I posted it in this section.

 

It is free, and I use a programmable button on my mouse to activate it.

 

http://www.mlin.net/CrossHair.shtml

 

It can use a lot of CPU time if you wave it around the screen a lot, but that is not what I enable it for :-)

 

From what I understand it not actually a mouse cursor but a picture of a cross with a clear background that is bigger than your screen dimensions, [something an actual mouse cursor can not do] hence the CPU usage while waving it around.

 

There is another program that will allow you to adjust how often the crosshair updates but it is shareware so I better not post a link, I'll just tell you it's called Exact Mouse 2.0

I am starting to try and look at the market in more of a Wyckoff way using end of day prices. This is because this is the way I want to trade in the future after the market closes and not get too emotional during the live prices. To help me in my learning process I have been slowly going through the posts in this forum, especially the stickies and trading the Wyckoff way. My question is this, is there any software out there that allows you to go backwards and run the daily charts without seeing the right hand side. So I could go back to the start of 2009 and reveal each day at a time on the chart and see how I get on. I know I could just create a chart and hide the prices but I thought it would be more fun and more realistic to do it without seeing the info at all.

 

Cheers

Sierra Charts offers replay. There are other charting programs which offer it as well, but I have no experience with them. Replay is particularly effective since one can link charts of varying timeframes and bar intervals into one viewing.

I'm not one to make a habit of bumping old threads, but based on earlier discussion, this is clearly the best place to post a link to the original Wyckoff course: The Richard D Wyckoff Method of Trading and Investing in Stocks: A Course of Instruction in Stock Market Science and Technique.

Hi,

 

I'm a huge price action fan and recently discovered this Wyckoff forum.

 

I've purchased db's ebook (Fantastic btw) and I now wish to study more of Wyckoff's original material.

 

I was wondering if some more experienced people would share a summary of which books to start and finish with.

 

Thanks

Db sums up most of what you need to study, for if you are interested in price action then the best way is to study the action itself as it unfolds and record what you see and think. Once one understands highs , lows, trading ranges, first class divergences, swings, he/she can begin to develop a trading plan. If there was one author I would rec , it would be Justin Mamis, he has a trilogy. There are gems in there and then there is stuff that no longer applies to give one an edge. Db also recommends that one look at the sectors(XLF,XLE,etc) Indu, Trans, and Util. That is unless he has changed :)

I don't know this guy, and cannot vouch for him. But for some reason a while back I was looking into ordering this book, and I was looking for reviews too and came across this:

I didn't see these posted anywhere so I thought I would add them here. These are links to downloads from Google Books and are probably old news, so my apologies if they are redundant.

 

Studies in Tape Reading, 1910 edition : Studies in tape reading - Google Books

The 1910 edition is very much like the version originally published in the Ticker magazine articles in 1908--1909.

 

Studies in Tape Reading, 1916 edition : Studies in tape reading - Google Books

Somewhat revised from the 1910 edition, this is the version most common today.

 

The Business of Trading in Stocks, "B" (John T. Brand), 1917 : The business of trading in stocks - Google Books

This book was written by an old fellow who by 1912 had traded from the tape for 30 years. He describes his approach to managing trades with an emphasis on controlling risk, and he talks about general price behavior, but not about tape reading itself. One interesting aspect is that he said he expected to double the size of his trading account every year---this was during the time that Livermore couldn't make a living trading. Although not written by Wyckoff, it revolves around many of Wyckoff's principles. Originally published in serial form in the Magazine of Wall Street from 1912 to 1914.

I found a new book:

 

Richard A Dickson & Tracy L Knudsen: Mastering Market Timing. Using the Works of LM Lowry and RD Wyckoff to identify Key Market Turning Points, 2011

 

(@ freebookspot.be)

 

It is best suited for the long term investor.

I have been trading for a few years now and recently decided to throw all my indicators out the window and start really to analyze the market. I am really interested in the Wyckoff method and even went as far as purchasing and reading the entire ebook that DB Phoenix made available.

What I am looking for is someone that is trading a similar style and maybe even the same market that I trade (crude oil) to help one another move forward and bounce ideas off. I am not looking for a trading buddy to help make calls but simple to spend a couple hours a week going over charts and talking concepts and so forth.

 

I am not sure if this is the right place to post this but I am sure there is someone else out there that would find this of great help and were we can both benefit from this.

The original course had two parts. One, The Richard D. Wyckoff Method of Trading and Investing in Stocks: A Course of Instruction in Stock Market Science and Technique is uploaded here (as most know by now). The second part is a 97-page document entitled The Richard D. Wykcoff Method of Trading in Stocks: A Course of Instruction in Tape Reading and Active Trading.

I have a copy of this "Tape Reading and Active Trading" in pdf. I got it online and I don't know whether it is appropriate to post it here. If you think it's OK, I can upload it.

That would be great. I'm sure those who want to know more about tape reading would be very appreciative.

    • Date: 11th July 2025.   Demand For Gold Rises As Trump Announces Tariffs!   Gold prices rose significantly throughout the week as investors took advantage of the 2.50% lower entry level. Investors also return to the safe-haven asset as the US trade policy continues to escalate. As a result, investors are taking a more dovish tone. The ‘risk-off’ appetite is also something which can be seen within the stock market. The NASDAQ on Thursday took a 0.90% dive within only 30 minutes.   Trade Tensions Escalate President Trump has been teasing with new tariffs throughout the week. However, the tariffs were confirmed on Thursday. A 35% tariff on Canadian imports starting August 1st, along with 50% tariffs on copper and goods from Brazil. Some experts are advising that Brazil has been specifically targeted due to its association with the BRICS.   However, the President has not directly associated the tariffs with BRICS yet. According to President Trump, Brazil is targeting US technology companies and carrying out a ‘witch hunt’against former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, a close ally who is currently facing prosecution for allegedly attempting to overturn the 2022 Brazilian election.   Although Brazil is one of the largest and fastest-growing economies in the Americas, it is not the main concern for investors. Investors are more concerned about Tariffs on Canada. The White House said it will impose a 35% tariff on Canadian imports, effective August 1st, raised from the earlier 25% rate. This covers most goods, with exceptions under USMCA and exemptions for Canadian companies producing within the US.   It is also vital for investors to note that Canada is among the US;’s top 3 trading partners. The increase was justified by Trump citing issues like the trade deficit, Canada’s handling of fentanyl trafficking, and perceived unfair trade practices.   The President is also threatening new measures against the EU. These moves caused US and European stock futures to fall nearly 1%, while the Dollar rose and commodity prices saw small gains. However, the main benefactor was Silver and Gold, which are the two best-performing metals of the day.   How Will The Fed Impact Gold? The FOMC indicated that the number of members warming up to the idea of interest rate cuts is increasing. If the Fed takes a dovish tone, the price of Gold may further rise. In the meantime, the President pushing for a 3% rate cut sparked talk of a more dovish Fed nominee next year and raised worries about future inflation.   Meanwhile, jobless claims dropped for the fourth straight week, coming in better than expected and supporting the view that the labour market remains strong after last week’s solid payroll report. Markets still expect two rate cuts this year, but rate futures show most investors see no change at the next Fed meeting. Gold is expected to finish the week mostly flat.       Gold 15-Minute Chart     If the price of Gold increases above $3,337.50, buy signals are likely to materialise again. However, the price is currently retracing, meaning traders are likely to wait for regained momentum before entering further buy trades. According to HSBC, they expect an average price of $3,215 in 2025 (up from $3,015) and $3,125 in 2026, with projections showing a volatile range between $3,100 and $3,600   Key Takeaway Points: Gold Rises on Safe-Haven Demand. Gold gained as investors reacted to rising trade tensions and market volatility. Canada Tariffs Spark Concern. A 35% tariff on Canadian imports drew attention due to Canada’s key trade role. Fed Dovish Shift Supports Gold. Growing expectations of rate cuts and Trump’s push for a 3% cut boosted the gold outlook. Gold Eyes Breakout Above $3,337.5. Price is consolidating; a move above $3,337.50 could trigger new buy signals. Always trade with strict risk management.

    • Back in the early 2000s, Netflix mailed DVDs to subscribers.   It wasn’t sexy—but it was smart. No late fees. No driving to Blockbuster.   People subscribed because they were lazy.

    • What These Attacks Look Like There are several ways you could get hacked. And the threats compound by the day.   Here’s a quick rundown:   Phishing: Fake emails from your “bank.” Click the link, give your password—game over.   Ransomware: Malware that locks your files and demands crypto. Pay up, or it’s gone.   DDoS: Overwhelm a website with traffic until it crashes. Like 10,000 bots blocking the door. Often used by nations.   Man-in-the-Middle: Hackers intercept your messages on public WiFi and read or change them.   Social Engineering: Hackers pose as IT or drop infected USB drives labeled “Payroll.”   You don’t need to be “important” to be a target.   You just need to be online.   What You Can Do (Without Buying a Bunker) You don’t have to be tech-savvy.   You just need to stop being low-hanging fruit.   Here’s how:   Use a YubiKey (physical passkey device) or Authenticator app – Ditch text message 2FA. SIM swaps are real. Hackers often have people on the inside at telecom companies.   Use a password manager (with Yubikey) – One unique password per account. Stop using your dog’s name.   Update your devices – Those annoying updates patch real security holes. Use them.   Back up your files – If ransomware hits, you don’t want your important documents held hostage.   Avoid public WiFi for sensitive stuff – Or use a VPN.   Think before you click – Emails that feel “urgent” are often fake. Go to the websites manually for confirmation.   Consider Starlink in case the internet goes down – I think it’s time for me to make the leap. Don’t Panic. Prepare. (Then Invest.)   I spent an hour in that basement bar reading about cyberattacks—and watching real-world systems fall apart like dominos.   The internet going down used to be an inconvenience. Now, it’s a warning.   Cyberwar isn’t coming. It’s here.   And the next time your internet goes out, it might not just be your router.   Don’t panic. Prepare.   And maybe keep a backup plan in your back pocket. Like a local basement bar with good bourbon—and working WiFi.   As usual, we’re on the lookout for more opportunities in cybersecurity. Stay tuned.   Author: Chris Campbell (AltucherConfidential) Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
