Understand Wyckoff and you'll understand the engine that drives stocks and markets rather than be distracted by the genuine imitation wood trim and the smell of the leather seats.
[Note: anything written by Wyckoff is worth study, but there's only so much to say, so if you're trying to read everything he ever wrote, don't be surprised by a sense of repetition; at that point, move on to Neill or Graifer or review Mamis and Magee.]
Book Description
One cannot become a Tape Reader by giving the ticker absent treatment; nor by running into his broker's office after lunch, or seeing "how the market closed" from his evening newspaper.... He should spend twenty-seven hours a week at the ticker, and many more hours away from it studying his mistakes and finding the "why" of his losses. -from "Introductory"
A 1910 classic of technical stock-market analysis, this is considered the most important work of one of the great market watchers of the early 20th century.
It covers: . stop orders and trading rules . volumes and their significance . market technique . "dull markets" and their opportunities . and more.
Nearly a century later, this primer on the basic laws of the market is still an invaluable resource for the broker or serious individual trader.
