All of the material could not have been written by Wyckoff. The last date on the copyright page and many of the other pages is 1937, clearly after Wyckoff's time. Likewise, some of the charts, data, and narrative describe events that transpired after 1934---Wyckoff obviously could not have written that material. (The text also reads at times like an uncorrected OCR transcription.)

 

For example, "The Basic Law of Supply and Demand," "Judging the Market," etc., (copyright 1931) sound like Wyckoff. "How to Proceed with the Study..." (copyright 1937) does not. Other pages seem to be mixed, suggesting they were revised.

What has been provided is the original course. If you doubt that, you are welcome to obtain your own copy from the Library of Congress. It will cost approximately $100 plus postage and handling.

 

Nice to see you back.

I just finished reading and studying DTB and PDF Method of tape reading. (all 405 pages)

 

Haven't finshed your book (but read all the books you recommended)

Usanet21,

 

From what I understand SMI has added some acronyms and other things to the original Wyckoff trading course. We, here adhere more to the original which is freely available here and is the core of what SMI is selling now.

 

Realistically, this site has enough Wyckoff material and guidance to make a reasonable trader out of you if you're disciplined and determined. If you still wish to spend the money go ahead and compare the two courses yourself. Basically it boils down to what you feel comfortable with.

 

There may be a way to perhaps compare the table of contents from SMI course and the Orginal Wyckoff Trading course here. This may give you an overview of how things stand.

 

As a disclaimer I don't have SMI Wyckoff course and am relaying something I have heard from other Wyckoff enthusiasts.

Thanks Gringo. This tape reading course is selling at the SMI and its developed by Wyckoff himself. I do agree that the materials here given are the best, just wanted to know if anyone has a pdf copy of that 1931 original tape reading course and can share a copy here.

Hi Gringo, i had already downloaded that book. What i meant is Richard D Wyckoff Tape Reading Course NOT the Stock Market Science and Technique.

 

The tape reading course is a seperate course as compared to the stock market science and technique and it cost $495USD which can be found here: https://wyckoffstockmarketinstitute.com/shopcart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=59

Hi usanet21,

 

Sorry about the incorrect response. The other good book about intraday-trading by Wyckoff I think is Studies in Tape Reading (aka: Day Trader's Bible). It's available in the skicky: Introduction

 

If it's not the book then I am not certain what else you are talking about. Wyckoff material and analysis works independent of bar interval. You could have daily or 1min bars and your interpretation more or less stays the same keeping the larger trend in perspective of course.

Hi Gringo, thanks. The DTB book is not really the same as the orginal tape reading book that cost USD 500. I saw an excerpt of it and it has much more technical information on it. But nevertheless, thanks!

Hey everyone,

 

as I believe ppl here are interested in obtaining the original course without paying for the full SMI course I want to tell you how to get your sample:

 

The Librarary of Congress has the 1931 as well as the 1937 typewritten, nonpublished The Richard D. Wyckoff Method of Trading and Investing in Stocks on microfilm and can pull it on paper for you.

 

Pricing for one of them with shipping to Europe is:

$ 14.00 set-up fee

$100.00 $.25 x 400 pages = $100.00

$ 45.00 shipping

________________________________

$159.00

 

I am getting my copy via:

 

Ms. Margaret Kieckhefer

Mail: mkie@loc.gov

Office of Business Enterprises

Library of Congress

+1 (202) 707-2590 (office phone)

+1 (202) 707-1771 (office fax)

 

Hope this is useful information for some of you.

 

Best regards,

Flojo

 

I wouldn't suppose perchance that someone would have gone to the trouble of running it through a scanner....

In answer to my own question, I take it that the attached is the said same course...

 

I'm actually slightly confused as on the first page it states the title as, "Stock Market Science and Technique".

 

I would appreciate it if someone could outline the distinction between the two courses, if indeed there are two courses.

 

Incidentally, I also have a paperback copy of Studies In Tape Reading...

 

Also, I'm a Spot FX trader, so believe that I only actually require the, ‘Introduction to the Wyckoff Method of Stock Market Analysis’ section, could anyone clarify please? (I've attached an excerpt, but am unsure where to obtain the entire document).

I think if I am not wrong, the tape reading course which cost USD $500 on SMI is a 97 page course. It teaches you how to read the tape proficiently. I had not seen the book, however, my friend showed me an excerpt of it and i must say it is good. I only had a quick glance.

 

If you are trading forex, it can also be applied to it as it teaches you how to read wave volume action. It doesnt matter what instrument you trade, as long as there is volume and price, Wyckoff method applies.

The Wyckoff Course in Stock Market Science cd

 

There's someone at the above link who seems to be selling all the original Wyckoff courses for $1000, but I don't really want to pay a grand if the material is freely available elsewhere.

 

I cant find the original tape reading course online. Wyckoff mentioned about this book in his course on Section 18M page 11, so presume its important.

If I can I would add Dr. Gary Dayton to this list of go to guys for learning. He studied with David Weiss who himself has a new book coming out this fall. He was one of the authors of Charting the Market the Wyckoff Way.

 

Of course the original course is still being offered at The Stock Market Institute. You can find the tape reading course out of scrib if you look.

But the best bang for the buck and one of the best teachers I have come across Gary Dayton he is very good. He also is a Duke trained psychologist and spent alot of time in the sports Psychology field. . He teaches that as well and that has really changed my trading.

By the way I have never recommended anyone to anybody.

If you tell him Bryant told you about him he may send me a nice email but nothing else. I promise. I just really would like to see everybody do well. He does have some free webinars posted on his site and just did one for SFO mag which is up as well.

      Hey guys , what are the main things you look for to detect if the consolidation area is accumulating or distributing ? 
      1 ) I see springs in top , still markup happens and it becomes accumulation area and vice versa
      2) There is lots of volume absorption in support line and still markdown occurs.
      3) sometimes in market high / low it becomes re-accumulation  / re-distribution
      Is there any clear way to find it ?

    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
