{quote} Well noted LT yes. This market is driven for sure, and not by any retail traders with all our buys & sells which (imo) go into an aggregated pool of some lower level LPs who do with the whole lot what they wish based on their own risk parameters (who knows). These flash moves they used to call crashes are pivotal at times to the big game.

I see a "conspiracy theory" here!

Kevin,! I remember somwhere You wrote, You liked line charts.
Lurking here on FF, I found " jarroo ". He seems to developed an approach to himself. He uses candles, but use their close price as S/R. He has plenty of posts, if You are interested, just look around in his 2012s post.
Have a nice day here to Everybody!

Happy New Year to all

Thanks to those who visit and contribute, they know who they are, to this thread which was originally setup as a self governing entity in which to hangout and where one could air their views without ridicule or judgement…(with the odd exception…).

Special thanks to the thread mods, Pete and Kev, who work tirelessly to exploit every new trader who are looking for the next best indicator available from…sorry what was that Pete.…sorry bud.. who tirelessly work to keep us from drifting back towards the Algo’s narrative… and it has a narrative!

Have a great 2024

Made me think of TimeTells charts and those of Stacey Burkes ( See 1:33;33 as an example).
A lot is basic stuff for some but interesting nonetheless.

But read the conclusion at the end. In other words if its the holy grail you seek it is not here but rather pick and mix.

It's a "nothing is new" in trading type of video but may help some to look closer at price.

I am amazed you didn't mention Laura's Roadmap

What the videos demonstrate is how you as a trader can frame the market ( analyse) so that it makes sense to you, what is actually going on when
looking at a price chart and how you can make decisions about when exactly (timing) to engage with the market.

Wyckoff was one of the first to mention "Smart Money" which he called "The Composite Man", he knew there were many Big Players in the markets,
and he grouped them all together as One entity, which we as Retail Traders come up against every time we trade.

We have to align ourselves with them, if we are to have any chance of success in the markets.

I find it interesting that I don't see much about Wyckoff owning a brokerage. There are stories of him monitoring large trades such as Livermore buying large amounts of say Bethlehem Steel...

Wyckoff would then be discussing some of his firms large orders with other brokerage owners... And often found them saying ... Livermores buying ??? He's selling heavy Bethlehem at our firm..

Fascinating how manipulation has always been present. Whenever wherever money is involved

Cheers

I'm pretty sure that Wyckoff was not a brokerage owner or even a stockbroker, was he?

I think he was primarily a private trader and a publisher of his own market letter/magazine.

Definitely true that before the SEC post-1929 that large traders would have accounts at multiple brokers to disguise their true position. Livermore and Baruch come to mind. There was another but his name escape's me at the moment.

I have Wyckoff's Stock Market Technique, volumes 1 and 2. I really enjoy his articles in both.

At least he started to epxose the shenanigans that were going on in brokerage firms (especially the bucket shops) and helped to
level the playing field for Retail Traders by revealing how the "composite man" was manipulating the accumulating & distribution
of stock to his own advantage.
Like Tom Hougaard he must have seen the huge failure rate of retail traders first hand.

From Wyckoff's Analytics site:

Richard Demille Wyckoff (1873–1934) was an early 20th-century pioneer in the technical approach
to studying the stock market. He is considered one of the five “titans” of technical analysis, along with Dow,
Gann, Elliott and Merrill.

At age 15, he took a job as a stock runner for a New York brokerage.
Afterwards, while still in his 20s, he became the head of his own firm.
He also founded and, for nearly two decades wrote, and edited The Magazine of Wall Street, which, at one point,
had more than 200,000 subscribers. Wyckoff was an avid student of the markets, as well as an active tape reader and trader.

He observed the market activities and campaigns of the legendary stock operators of his time, including JP
Morgan and Jesse Livermore. From his observations and interviews with those big-time traders, Wyckoff
codified the best practices of Livermore and others into laws, principles and techniques of trading
methodology, money management and mental discipline.

From his position, Mr. Wyckoff observed numerous retail investors being repeatedly fleeced.
Consequently, he dedicated himself to instructing the public about “the real rules of the game” as played by
the large interests, or “smart money.”

In the 1930s, he founded a school which would later become the Stock Market Institute.
The school's central offering was a course that integrated the concepts that
Wyckoff had learned about how to identify large operators' accumulation and distribution of stock with
how to take positions in harmony with these big players. His time-tested insights are as valid today as they
were when first articulated.

FTMO have shut down USA challenges.
Prop firms are taking challenge fees and not allowing that to be distributed the usual route to the brokers and the subsequent filtering down to the big boys.
