No, that's not exactly the case, neutral.

 

According to this English language page at Google, looks like you are stuck to reading it on screen, and only if those pages are not redacted by Google or the publisher.

Rather than use ltg's definitions per se, let's adhere as closely as possible to the source, i.e., Wyckoff:

 

Accumulation: An area where stocks are purchased – or “accumulated” -- with the intention to mark up prices at some later time. Every traded stock is in one of four phases: Accumulation, Mark-up, Distribution, Mark-down.

 

Buying Climax: the opposite of a Selling Climax (see Determining the Trend of the Market by the Daily Vertical Chart, pp. 1, 2).

 

Composite Operator: Wyckoff’s name for the total sum of forces, including the public, that move the market.

 

Demand: Buying power, buying pressure.

 

Distribution: An area where stocks are sold with the intention to mark down prices at some later time.

 

Mark-down: The phase of the cycle where prices decline, from the beginning of a bear campaign to its bottom.

 

Mark-up: The phase of the cycle where prices rise, from the beginning of a bull campaign to its top.

 

Rally: A phase in the market that experiences rising prices, that is, higher highs and higher lows.

 

Reaction: A phase in the market that experiences declining prices, that is, lower highs and lower lows.

 

Resistance: An area where selling pressure overwhelms buying pressure.

 

Secondary Reaction: The reaction following a Technical Rally.

 

Selling Climax: A major panic that occurs at the end of a steep decline in prices (see Determining the Trend of the Market by the Daily Vertical Chart, pp. 1, 2).

 

Springboard: A stock (or group or the market as a whole) is on the springboard following a period of preparation for an advance or decline.

 

Stop Loss: An order to exit a trade if the market does something that proves your initial decision to enter the trade as wrong.

 

Supply: Selling power, selling pressure.

 

Support: An area where buying pressure overwhelms selling pressure.

 

Shakeout: A sudden break below a support level followed by a rapid reversal.

 

Technical Rally: The rally that occurs after a Selling Climax.

 

Thrust: A break above a resistance level followed by a rapid reversal.

 

Trading Range: A period of balance between supply and demand forces. Prices move within a range where the bottom represents demand and the top represents supply.

 

Trendlines: Straight lines drawn through the tops or bottoms of the price path established during an upward climb or downward pitch. They “serve to define the stride of the price movement, thereby frequently directing our attention either to possibilities of an approaching change of trend or to an actual reversal.”

 

Volume: Number of units bought and sold, or the quantity of trading.

Where spring and test part of Wyckoffs original lexicon? Just thought you might want to add those if they are.

 

"Spring", no. Wyckoff was much more concerned about conveying concepts than he was about developing clever catch-phrases. In fact, he frequently used synonyms for various features. For example, "hinge", "apex", "wedge", "pivot", and "dead center" all relate to the same thing. He was far more concerned that the student understand something than in what the student called it.

 

"Test" is used, of course, as one would expect. It would be difficult to avoid it. But there are many different kinds of tests, and it has no special meaning.

Ahh good...because I was never clear what a spring was!! I kind of figured (by the context that people talk of it) that it was some sort of 'test' at the end of an accumulation phase. Glad it is of no importance really.

 

Of course understanding the behaviour is what matters, but as we have discussed in the past having clear coherent and common terms of reference is crucial for meaningful discussion. Of course keeping to core terms aids this, which of course you have said all along. :)

How about you take the ideas and try to apply them yourself? Seriously, the way you're acting you should be forced to wear a diaper and drink formula.

 

Not trying to be mean, just trying to shed light on your passivity in a humorous way. Be proactive, man! This is a learning experience and one of self-discovery. If you want to see if it works, try it! You will only learn by doing. Nobody will ever be able to prove anything to you, you must prove or disprove it for yourself.

Sorry, it was just pent-up aggression from years reading these messageboards and seeing those kinds of posts. It always struck me as incredibly lazy and also selfish to expect people to conduct trades real time to prove to some random guy on the internet that their method works. Unless they're selling it, of course.

 

After I posted I realized it was old but at that point I figured what the hell.

And who the hell are you? 23 posts and think you are king sh*t around here already?

 

Instead of finding posts that are MONTHS old to show your pent up aggression, go out, get a drink and get laid. Much more productive use of your time vs. finding posts of mine that are so old.

 

And maybe think before speaking too there new guy.

 

This conversation feels eerily familiar to another poster that is now banned here... :roll eyes:

The dots don't mean anything other than that I have to post ten characters before the software will accept the message.

 

I know...just playing around. I hate the minimum character limitations sometimes.

      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 ?

    • Date: 29th March 2024. GBPUSD Analysis: The Pound Trades Higher But For How Long? The global Stocks Markets are closed due to Easter Friday (Good Friday). The NASDAQ continued to follow the sideways trend while other indices again rose. The SNP500 reaches an all-time high, but the NASDAQ remains under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple. The Euro continues to trade lower against all major currencies including the US Dollar, Euro and Japanese Yen. The British Pound is the best performing currency during this morning’s Asian session. However, investors are largely fixing their attention on this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. GBPUSD – The Pound Trades Higher but For How Long? The GBPUSD is slightly higher than the day’s open and is primary due to the Pound’s strong performance. At the moment, the British Pound is increasing in value against all major currencies. However, the US Dollar Index is also trading 0.10% higher and for this reason there is a slight conflict here. If investors wish to avoid this conflict, the EURUSD is a better option. This is because, the Euro depreciating against the whole currency market avoiding the “tug-of-war” scenario. The GBPUSD is trading slightly lower than the 2-month’s average price and is trading at 49.10 on the RSI. For this reason, the price of the exchange is at a “neutral” level and is signalling neither a buy nor a sell. The day’s price action and future signals are possibly likely to be triggered by this afternoon’s Core PCE Price Index. Analysts expect the Core PCE Price Index to read 0.3% which is slightly lower than the previous month but will result in the annual figure remaining at 2.85%. The PCE rate is different to the inflation rate and the Fed aims for a rate between 1.5% to 2.00%. Therefore, even if the annual rate remains at 2.85%, as analysts expect, it would be too high for the Fed. If the rate increases, even if only slightly, the US Dollar can again renew bullish momentum and the stock market can come under pressure. This includes the SNP500. Investors are focused on the publication of data on the UK’s gross domestic product (GDP) for the last quarter of 2023: the quarterly figures decreased by 0.3%, and 0.2% over the past 12-months. This confirms the state of a shallow recession and the need for stimulation. The data, combined with a cooling labor market and a steady decline in inflation, increase the likelihood that the Bank of England will soon begin interest rate cuts. In the latest meeting the Bank of England representatives did not see any members vote for a hike. USA500 – The SNP500 Rises to New Highs, But Cannot Hold Onto Gains! The price of the SNP500 rises to an all-time high, before correcting 0.33% and ending the day slightly lower than the open price. Nonetheless, the index performs better than the NASDAQ which came under pressure from Tesla, Meta and Apple which hold a higher weight compared to the SNP500. For the SNP500, these 3 stocks hold a weight of 9.25%, whereas the 3 stocks make up 14.63% of the NASDAQ. The SNP500 is also supported by ExxonMobil’s gains due to higher energy prices. The market will remain closed on Friday due to Easter. However, the market will reopen on Monday for the US and investors can expect high volatility. Investors will also need to take into consideration how the PCE Price Index and the changed value of the US Dollar is likely to affect the stock market next week.
