Trades About To Happen: A Modern Adaptation Of The Wyckoff Method

Engaging and accessible, this reliable resource looks at Wyckoff's approach from a more modern perspective and shows how you can logically interpret bar charts and wave charts to find trades about to happen. By studying the chart examples in this book, you'll gain tremendous insight into reading what markets are saying about themselves and develop the ability to locate turning points of different degrees. Page by page, Weis facilitates your learning by:

Comparing efforts of buying or selling with the reward-volume versus upward or downward progress

Considering the meaning of the close within the range of a price bar

Looking for shortening of upward or downward thrust as well as &How-through, or lack of follow through, after penetrations of support/resistance

Exploring the interaction of price with trend lines, channels, and support/resistance lines-which often highlight the price/volume story

Watching fin- tests of high-volume or "vertical" areas where price accelerates upward or downward

Along the way, Weis introduces the adaptations he has made to Wyckoff's original tape-reading tools-which are better suited for the enormous volatility of today's stock and futures markets-and can be applied to intraday and daily price movement.
