  1. 1Introduction to the Wyckoff MethodWhat the Wyckoff method is, where it came from, and how it frames markets as a repeating cycle of accumulation, markup, distribution and markdown.6 min read→
  2. 2The Composite OperatorThe mental model at the heart of Wyckoff — a single imaginary operator who accumulates low, marks up, distributes high and marks down.5 min read→
  3. 3The Three Wyckoff LawsAn overview of the three laws — supply and demand, cause and effect, and effort versus result — that anchor every Wyckoff read.5 min read→
  4. 4Law of Supply & DemandThe first law — when demand exceeds supply price rises, when supply exceeds demand it falls — and how to read that imbalance on the chart.6 min read→
  5. 5Law of Cause & EffectThe second law — a trading range is the cause, and the move that follows is the proportional effect — and how Wyckoff traders estimate it.6 min read→
  6. 6Law of Effort vs ResultThe third law — volume is effort and price movement is result — and how divergence between the two reveals hidden strength or weakness.6 min read→
  7. 7Accumulation PhaseHow a bottoming trading range works — supply being absorbed near lows before a markup — and the behaviour that hints demand is winning.7 min read→
  8. 8Distribution PhaseHow a topping trading range works — large holdings sold into strength near highs before a markdown — and the signs that supply is taking over.7 min read→
  9. 9Re-AccumulationA pause inside an existing uptrend where price consolidates before continuing higher, and how to tell it apart from distribution.6 min read→
  10. 10Re-DistributionA pause inside an existing downtrend where price consolidates before continuing lower, and how to distinguish it from accumulation.6 min read→
  11. 11The SpringThe spring — a false break below support that shakes out sellers before a markup — and honest entry and stop logic for trading it.7 min read→
  12. 12The UpthrustThe upthrust — a false break above resistance that traps buyers before a markdown — and honest entry and stop logic for trading it.7 min read→
  13. 13Sign of Strength (SOS)The sign of strength — a decisive, high-volume rally out of an accumulation range — and how it confirms demand has taken control.6 min read→
  14. 14Sign of Weakness (SOW)The sign of weakness — a decisive, high-volume break down out of a distribution range — and how it confirms supply has taken control.6 min read→
  15. 15Wyckoff SchematicsThe labelled event maps for accumulation and distribution — PS, SC, AR, ST, Spring, Test, SOS, LPS and their distribution mirrors — and how to use them.8 min read→
  16. 16Wyckoff + Price ActionHow to combine a Wyckoff read of the range with a price-action trigger — for example pairing a spring with a bullish reversal candle.7 min read→
  17. 17Building a Wyckoff SetupA five-step checklist that turns the whole method into a repeatable process — from identifying the phase to defining entry, stop and target.7 min read→
