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.

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!

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 ?

    • Date: 31st March 2025.   Trump Confirms Tariffs on All Countries, Sending Stocks Lower.   The NASDAQ continues to trade lower due to the US confirming the latest tariffs will be on all countries. In addition to this, bearish volatility also is largely due to the higher inflation data from Friday. The NASDAQ declines to its lowest price since September 11th 2024. Core PCE Price Index - Inflation Increases Again! The PCE Price Index read 2.5% aligning with expert forecasts not triggering any alarm bells. However, the Core PCE Price Index rose from 0.3% to 0.4% MoM and from 2.7% to 2.8% YoY, signalling growing inflationary pressure. This increases the likelihood that the Federal Reserve will maintain elevated interest rates for an extended period. The NASDAQ fell 2.60% due to the higher inflation reading which is known to pressure the stock market due to pressure on consumer demand and a more hawkish Federal Reserve. Boston Fed President Susan Collins recently commented that tariffs could drive up inflation, though the long-term impact remains uncertain. She told journalists that a short-term spike is the most probable outcome but believes the current pause in monetary policy adjustments is appropriate given the prevailing uncertainties. Although, certain investment banks such as JP Morgan actually believe the Federal Reserve will be forced into cutting rates. This is due to expectations that the economy will struggle under the new trade policy. For example, JP Morgan expects the Federal Reserve to delay rate cuts but will quickly cut towards the end of 2025. Market Risk Appetite Takes a Hit! A big factor for the day is the drop in the risk appetite of investors. This can be seen from the VIX which is up almost 6%, Gold which is trading 1.30% higher and the Japanese Yen which is the day’s best performing currency. Most safe haven assets, bar the US Dollar, increase in value. It is also worth noting that all indices are decreasing in value during this morning's Asian session with the Nikkei225 and NASDAQ witnessing the strongest decline. Previously the stock market rose in value as investors heard rumours that tariffs would only be on certain countries. This bullish swing occurred between March 14th and 25th. Over the weekend, President Donald Trump indicated that the upcoming tariffs would apply to all countries, not just those with the largest trade imbalances with the US. NASDAQ - Technical Analysis In terms of technical analysis, the NASDAQ continues to obtain indications that sellers control the price action. The price opens on a bearish price gap measuring 0.30% and trades below all Moving Averages on all timeframes. The NASDAQ also trades below the VWAP and almost 100% of the most influential components (stocks) are declining in value.     The next significant support level is at $18,313, and the resistance level stands at $20,367.95. Key Takeaway Points: NASDAQ falls to its lowest since September 2024 as the US confirms tariffs on all countries, adding to inflation concerns. Core PCE inflation rises to 0.4% MoM and 2.8% YoY, increasing the likelihood of prolonged high interest rates. Investor risk appetite drops as VIX jumps 6%, gold gains 1.3%, and safe-haven assets outperform. NASDAQ shows strong bearish momentum, trading below key technical levels with support at $18,313 and resistance at $20,367.95. Always trade with strict risk management.
