"Tis wortshop will provide you with a unique opportunity to learn the principles of the Wyckoff Method of technical analysis and trading. You will learn to combine the technical tools you already use with an entirely new perspective on market behavior, tuhancing both your technical trading skills and your abilty to judge critical trading sit- uations. You will learn to concentrate your analysis on three essential factors tick-volume or vol- ‘ume (the intensity of trading); the relationship between price movement and volume; and the time required for all the movements to run their respective courses. The information derived by using a volume or tick-volume approach can directy influence your day-to-day decision making process. It will enhance your awareness of the marker’s real strength or weakness. Hank will provide numerous examples, including foreign exchange and fixed inter- est using Dow Jones TradeStation” charts. You will also be provided with some ExsyLanguage™ code to use either on your Dow Jones TradeStation” or as a guide for translating your idea(s) to other platforms. * oe * Hank Pruden is a professor in the School of Business at Golden Gate University in San Francisco, where he fas been teaching for twenty years.

He is the executive director of the Institute of Technical Market Analysis (TMA). At Golden Gate he developed the accredited courses in technical market analysis in 1976. Since then the curriculum has expanded to include advanced topics in technical analysis and trading. In his course: Hank emphasizes the psychology of trading as well as the use of technical analysis methods. He has published extensively in both areas.

There are. of course. minor lines of resistance and more significant ones that will have to be crossed before the market's journey ean continue onward and upward 7. 8 Springs, Shakeouts and Tests usually occur late within the trading range and allow the market and its dominant players to make a definitive test of available supply before a markup campaign will unfold. If the amount of supply that surfaces on a break of support is very light (low volume), it will be an indication that the way is clear for a sustained advance. Heavy supply here will usually mean a renewed decline. Moderate volume here may mean more testing of support and to proceed with caution. The spring or shakeout also serves the purpose of providing dominant interests with additional supply from weak holders at low prices. Springs and shakeouts are often times ar accompanied by a Test. 9 (JUMP) Jump Across the Creek is a continuation of the creek analogy. The markets jumps resisumce very deliberately.

Phases A through E...phases through which the Trading Range (TR) passes as conceptualized by the Wyckoff method and explained in the text. (PSY) Preliminary Supply...is where substantial selling begins to provide pronounced resistance after an upmove. Volume and spread widen and provide a signal that the upmove may be approaching its end. (BC) Buying Climar...is the point at which widening spread and the force of buying climaxes, and heavy or urgent buying by the public is being filled by larger professional interests at prices near a top. (AR) Automatic Reaction... with buying pretty much exhausted and heavy supply continuing, an AR follows the BC. ‘The low of this selloff will help define the bottom of the Trading Range (TR). (ST) Secondary Tesi/s)..,evisit the area of the Buying Climax to test the demand/supply balance at these price levels. If a top is to be confirmed, supply will outweigh demand and volume and spread should be diminished as the market approaches the resistance area of the BC. (UT) Upthrust- Minor penetration of the proceeding highs or Buying Climax area that is immediately overcome by supply as prices fall back into the rading range. (SOW) Sign of Weakness... will usually occur on increased spread and volume as compared to the rally to point 9 on schematic 2. Supply is showing its dominance in this phase of the distribution. Our first “fall through the ICE” holds and the market tries to get up and forge ahead. The ICE...is an analogy to a wavy line of support drawn loosely under reaction lows of the Trading Range. A break through the ICE will likely be followed by attempts to get back above it. A failure to get back above firm support may mean a “drowning” for the market. (LPSY) Last Point of Suppiv...(See Schematic 2/ Point 11) after we test the ICE and prior support becomes resistance, a SOW is confirmed. These feeble rally attempts, on narrow spread, show us the difficulty the market is having in making a further rise. Volume may be light or heavy, showing weak demand or substantial supply.. It is at these LPSY’s that the last waves of distribution are occurring, It is now not long until the markdown is to begin. ‘Schematic 2/Poi't 11 and 13: after a break through the ICE, a rally attempt is thwarted at the ICE's surface (now resistance). The rally meets a last wave of supply before markdown ensures. LPSY’s are good place to initiate a short position or to pyramid on profitable lines. (UTAD) Upthrust or Upthrust after Distribution...(See Schematic 3 Point 11). Similar to the Spring and Terminal Shakeout in the range of Accumulation, a UTAD may occur in a TR of distribution. It is a more definitive test of new demand after a breakout above the resistance line of tle trading range to new high ground. A UTAD usually ‘occurs in the latter stages of a trading range (SEE schematic 3 point 11). Where as an UT usually occurs earlier in the trading range SEE schematic 3 point 7) If this breakout occurs on light volume with no follow through, or on heavy volume with a breakdown back into the middle of the old trading range, then this is more evidence that the trading range was distribution and we are soon headed for mark-down. This UTAD usually results in weak holders of short positions giving them up to more dominant interests. Also, distribution is taking place to real, less informed, buyers before the mark down will ensues.

WYCKOFF COURSE IN STOCK MARKET SCIENCE AND TECHNIQUE The Wyckoff Course has been taught by the Wyckoff Stock Market Institute Since 1931 when it was introduced by Richard D. Wyckoff. Today, it is presented for home study through a combination of printed texts, graphic illustrations and recored lectures. Students on average take nine months to complete the course work and are entitled to an unlimited consultation service while studying and after completion of the course. The Wyckoff approach to technical analysis focuses on the law of supply and demand, the law of cause and effect and the law of effort vs. result. The market's own action reveals these three basic truths at work, which are interpreted with a combination of vertical line charts and point and figure charts. The Wyckoff students learn how to interpret day to day market action and how to convert interpretation into trading and investing decisions. Wyckoff students recieve thier instructions for a tuition of $850. Additional information is available upon request.
