Second only to bisects, the role volume plays in the trade-- and seeking methods that reveal tradable volume information-- has captured my imagination. A grounding in Richard Wyckoff's methods is essential as it provides a framework for understanding the mechanics of demand and supply, of action-reaction. Wyckoff's three basic tenets are presented below. There are a number of books elaborating Wyckoff's ideas with "The Day Trader's Bible" being widely available on the internet. Wyckoff was a famed "tape reader" and wrote a number of articles and books under the pseudonym "Rollo Tape". Get it? Roll o' Tape? Argh!

These articles, like the others, are not meant to be all encompassing, but rather a sort of bread crumb trail of my interests.

Important Notice!

As of the December 2007 Ensign software release, the introduction of new variables in DYOS functions has caused codes and templates using the prior release to to no longer work as intended. A user has kindly informed me that VolSum, EVRAA, and VolShift in particular no longer work correctly. Unfortunately, I cannot at this time fix the codes but will remove this notice when they are fixed. My sincere regrets!
