Wyckoff

Accumulation and distribution schematics, the three laws, and the composite man.

Richard Wyckoff’s early-1900s method reads price and volume as the footprints of large operators: accumulation and distribution ranges, the springs and upthrusts that test them, and the laws (supply and demand, cause and effect, effort versus result) that connect them. It is the grandfather of most modern structure-and-liquidity trading.
