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.

LoL...I guess my attempt to keep a thread clean failed miserably giving me the opportunity to become one of the first Sandbox members! (When you can laugh at yourself, you are free. - Ted Loderer)

      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 ?

    • It depends. If you have lots of money that you can buy a house without a loan and if you don't have any parents to sponsor then it is a good idea. Otherwise it might be a bad idea depending where in Canada you are heading to. I earned a good middle income in my home country and I migrated to Vancouver 5 years ago at the age of 35. I had to start right from the bottom, lowest of the low.. Now i am finally earning a middle income in Canada but I still cannot afford to buy a one bedroom apartment. Having left behind friends, family and home, most of the times I think it is not worth it.   In short, do not migrate if you already have a good life in your home country and you are happy. Only migrate to Canada if you really have to leave your home country say there is a war or something really bad. Discrimination still exists here and its really tough for newcomers unless you are super rich. Good luck. David Chong, Quora  
    • This is bigger than the internet. Bigger than mobile. Bigger than social media.   While everyone was distracted by stock market fluctuations and political theater…   Most people have NO IDEA what just happened last week with ChatGPT.   Their new memory feature allows ChatGPT to remember EVERYTHING about you across all your conversations.   Think about that for a minute...   While most tech companies have been collecting mere breadcrumbs about you - your likes, your clicks, your browsing history - OpenAI is now collecting the most valuable dataset in human history: your complete psychological profile.   This is Zuckerberg x 5,000.   The more you use ChatGPT, the more it understands you, becoming a supercharged reflection of yourself that improves at an exponential rate.   Are you a regular ChatGPT user?   Consider whether it’s time to turn off the “you can train on my information” feature. To prevent your data from being used for training while still using the memory feature:   Disable Model Training: Navigate to Settings > Data Controls. Toggle off "Improve the model for everyone". Manage Memory Settings: Go to Settings > Personalization > Memory. Here, you can: Turn off memory entirely. Delete specific memories. Use Temporary Chat for sessions that won't be saved or used for training. Now the investment implications…   Why This is Bigger Than You Think Consider this: the relationship between humans and ChatGPT is evolving beyond a mere tool.   People are now treating these AI assistants as friends, confidants, and even romantic partners.   I'm not making this up - there are already documented cases of people ending real human relationships to pursue “connections” with their AI companions.   A viral Instagram meme shows a person going through life with a glowing, featureless humanoid figure - representing ChatGPT - as their companion.   The post has over 1.1 million likes and comments like "Bro ChatGPT is like my best friend. Ain't even ashamed to say it" with 25,000 likes.   But here's where things get really interesting for investors and entrepreneurs...   Three Things to Watch For starters, hardware is the next big thing for the big players.   The iPhone form factor is dead.   It hasn't meaningfully changed in nearly a decade. The next evolution in hardware will be designed specifically to interface with these AI companions.   OpenAI is already working on hardware with Johnny Ive, the legendary designer behind the iPhone and iPod. But you can’t ignore Elon Musk’s edge here.   So what does all of this mean for you?   The companies that control the personal AI relationships will be worth trillions. OpenAI and Elon Musk will have the coziest moats. We're witnessing the birth of a new internet - one built on agents that can communicate with each other across platforms. Google's new agent-to-agent protocol allows AI agents to work together without sharing internal memories or tools. The hardware companies that create the perfect interface for these AI companions will dominate the next decade of technology. And almost nobody is talking about what this means.   My prediction? Within five years, most people will have a personal AI that knows them better than anyone else. And they will interact with it in ways that seem foreign today.   (And, yes, it will almost certainly have dystopian elements.)   In the meantime, the biggest gains won’t come from household names. And, right now, James is seeing a prime opportunity to invest in the most under-the-radar plays in AI…   For dirt cheap. By Chris C.
