Wyckoff Method
Browse all 7 parts in the Wyckoff Method series and start from the section you need.
Wyckoff Method: The 3 Laws and the Composite Operator, Part 1
The real tools of the Wyckoff Method are the three laws applied bar by bar and the Composite Operator hypothesis. This first article in the series explains why the four-stage labels are just labels that emerge after those two tools have been applied over time.
Wyckoff Method — The 5 Phases of Accumulation (Part 2)
Accumulation Phases A, B, C, D, and E each have distinct candle signatures. A Spring is the point where stop-loss orders below the range are absorbed and the last remaining supply is cleared.
Wyckoff Method — The 5 Phases of Distribution and UTAD (Part 3)
Distribution mirrors accumulation, but its timing and volume patterns are asymmetric. UT and UTAD sweep the last liquidity, while LPSY is the real entry point.
Wyckoff Method: VSA and Weis Waves as Modern Tools (Part 4)
VSA’s bar-by-bar signatures and Weis Wave’s directional volume aggregation make Wyckoff phase identification measurable one bar at a time.
Wyckoff Method: Applying It in the Crypto and Algo Era (Part 5)
How classic Wyckoff signatures change in markets shaped by 24/7 trading, funding rates, on-chain data, and liquidity pools.
Wyckoff Method — A Visual Roadmap to the 9 Schematic Events (Part 6)
The core of a Wyckoff schematic is the chronological sequence and volume signature of its 9 events: PS, SC, AR, ST, Spring, Test, LPS, SOS, and BU. The chart does not need to match the textbook drawing. If the event sequence is correct, the schematic still works.
Wyckoff Method — Using a Wyckoff Scanner to Identify Accumulation Setups Automatically (Part 7)
This article covers a workflow for converting the volume and price signatures of the nine Wyckoff events into quantitative rules, then using them to scan the market for accumulation candidates automatically.
