COURSE CONTENT
WTC Part I (Spring 2019) – WYCKOFF STRUCTURAL PRICE ANALYSIS
Description: In the first four sessions of the WTC, you will learn how to to read market structure by applying Wyckoff’s
cardinal insights regarding the interplay of price, volume and time. Understanding market structure allows you to anticipate coming price action. You will learn to identify and analyze accumulation, distribution, re-accumulation and re-distribution – the key trading ranges that power trends. You will also learn Wyckoff Method trade set-ups based on market
structure, how to enter a new or an existing trend, and how to recognize in advance when a trend is likely to end.
1.The Price Cycle: Accumulation, Mark-Up, Distribution and Mark-Down

3.Change of Character in a trading range: identifying price and volume action signaling the initiation or continuation of a
trend
4.Trading ranges that generate big trends: accumulation and distribution
5.A key concept in Wyckoff Method analysis of trading ranges: Phases
6.Phase anatomy: Wyckoff Method events (e.g., climaxes, tests, springs, upthrusts, signs of strength)

WTC Part II (Spring 2019) – SUPPLY AND DEMAND
Description: Here Mr. Bogomazov will focus in detail on identifying supply and demand on any chart. The Wyckoff Method is based on the assumption that all freely traded markets are governed by supply and demand. In today’s markets,
as in Wyckoff’s time, large professional interests dominate supply and demand. Having the ability to accurately read supply and demand on a chart will allow you to make better decisions about timing your entries and exits and to join the large operators rather than being caught on the wrong side of a trade.
1.Concepts in supply and demand – the forces that move all markets
2.Who is the composite operator and how do his actions in the market affect supply and demand?
3.Volume and spread analysis
4.Variations of spread and volume in different market environments
5.Effort (volume) versus results (price action) – confirmation and discordance both predict future price behavior
6.Volume analysis and schematics in trading ranges
7.Volume characteristics in different phases of accumulation and distribution
8.Wyckoff’s springboard: when price is poised to move
9.Tradable volume patterns
10.Exercises and homework assignments
Mini-course Duration: 4 online sessions
Dates: Monday afternoons; February 4, 11, 18, and 25
WTC Part III (Spring 2019) – RELATIVE AND COMPARATIVE STRENGTH
Description: Relative and comparative strength are Wyckoff Method concepts that can help you select the top stocks in
the best sectors to trade, particularly at market turns. In this part of the course, you will learn how to apply these concepts to identify candidates for long or short trades, and how they can also be used to improve the timing of your entries
and exits.

WTC Part IV (Spring 2019) – PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER: DEVELOPING A WYCKOFF TRADING PLAN
