Looking to read up on these two things... mostly Volume Spread Analysis...
 
did you try Google?

I'd try typing "Wyckoff PDF" or something along those lines and hitting search. Thought you would try this first before creating a new thread on a forum(already with Wyckoff and VSA threads a little further down the page) but each to their own good luck!
 

I started the thread in search for a "good" book... hence I was after other peoples recommendations on what is worth reading.

Why would I type in "Wyckoff pdf" when I asked about a book...

I looked through most of the threads in the original thread location and couldnt see anything about any particular books...

Hence my thread...
 

Because Wyckoff wrote everything there is to learn about Wyckoff maybe? Why would you read someone else's book on Wyckoff when he has a handful of books/articles he wrote himself explaining everything. You could also try www.ltg-trading.com which has a chat room every night and webinars etc. all on Wyckoff, can be a handy site.

Tech/A has posted the book for VSA, which is just a fancy marketed version of Wyckoff anyway, but they incorporated "VSA" into software as well with Tradeguider etc.
 
Hi.
Just wondering if anybody has read "Trading in the Shadow of Smart Money".?
If they have, would they like to comment.(i.e. the complete book)

Cheers

It's basically a description of every indicator in the Tradeguider software.
There is no information for the trader on practical application of the analysis.
It does however show the construction and thinking behind each indicator.

I am under the asumption that there are two books of the same name.
Vol 2 Sequential VSA Chart Patterns Explained.

The other was released about three weeks ago. It has 12 chapters with
Chapter 6 explaining key principles of VSA methodology Part 1- Weakness
Chapter 7 " " " " " " " 2- Strength
" 8 developing a trading plan for you using VSA
These appear to be the main body of the book, with colour charts included.

about $150 printed and $100 electronic.

Thanks anyway.
 
Sorry for previous post, it did not handle " plus gaps very well.

Where can I find this one mate? I'm having some trouble on Google.

The only book on VSA I've read is "Master the Markets" which everyone else has also.

The Wyckoff books that I downloaded are:
- How I Trade and Invest in Stocks and Bonds
- Day Trader's Bible

I am yet to read either of those last two books yet. Has anyone else read them? Which one is better? are their other books he has that are 'must reads'?

If you're looking for "Trading in the shadow of the smart money (volume 1)" it can be found on amazon.com. The kindle version goes for $100.

This is not to be confused with volume 2 of the same name for $25 which (from what I can tell) seems to be just a big list of all possible tradeguider signals.

I can't comment on whether it's worth reading or not. Hopefully you got some good tips from the secret society of VSA traders you and tech/a have started. :
 
Volume 2 is as you've said
Unless you see the setup on a chart it won't mean much
But well worth having all the same.
 
Hi,

VSA is like religion.

First you have to blindly accept one God, the God of "All Volume is Supply".

then,

Reject all other Gods... The Gods of Fundamentals and God of Lagging Indicators.

After your conversion, market moves will become logical and your confusion will baptised away.

Seriously, I dont think you need to read multiple works on VSA. If you read enough Wyckoff to become aware of it's logic, the great body of your awareness will come from your own observations over time.
The solution to THE quest is SO simple, yet most people can't accept VSA as the answer, when the majority of seemingly intelligent people never find the understanding of the market they strive SO hard to find.

VSA is also like polygamy,,, half the population would like to experience the benefits but unless you have tried it, you'll never know exactly how good it feels. lol

Cheers, M
 

Volume is not the answer. You don't even need to look at volume to be successful at trading or making money on the markets.

VSA is just more marketing hype.
 
Believe what you like Frank
Makes me obscene money for time invested.
It's not un common for me to make my production managers weekly wage in less than an hr.

Frankly I can't handle Gavins droning presentations.
Nor am I a fan of his " hoora" yank full on marketing.

As for the method much is NOT passed on to the masses.The software is handy but not a VSA requirement.
FEW learn the art of VSA and let me tell you it's more about what's happening when there is very LOW volume than it is when there is very HIGH volume.

Most including you Frank " think" you know how to read and apply VSA -- they and you don't.
If you did you wouldn't be making such stupid un supported statements.

I don't care if people find the secrets of VSA.
It's there but not taught even by Gavin.you actually have to put in effort.
I did-- I win.
 
Put in context to the comment…

People can’t accept VSA is the answer.

It’s not the friggin answer, So I stand by my statement

So the secret of trading is VSA? Give me a break.

Talk about making stupid comments.
