Is anyone could tell me where I could get some information on Mr.Richard Wyckoff method ?
Any books or web site about it ?
Thanks for your kind help

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

I've been told by Flojo that 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).

The basics of the basics are provided here in the stickies. Section 1M, the Introduction, is skipped, as are Section 4M, Volume Studies, and Section 6M, Chart Studies. Section 7M, to which you referred, acts as a sort of summary of what's been addressed up to that point in the course. Therefore, regardless of what you decide to do with regard to the entire course, I suggest you read and reread and rereread the first three stickies to become at least acquainted with the underlying concepts, then study the fourth, the analysis of 1930-31, which acts as an illustration through application. The entire course has been uploaded here.

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.

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
