Full transcript
- 0:00every day trader knows that the main
- 0:03push of whatever market movement is
- 0:05happening is due to banks and financial
- 0:08institutions and big money the retail
- 0:11trader cannot affect the market as the
- 0:14big banks can a lot of you guys have
- 0:16been requesting this video so i'm going
- 0:18to try to do a extremely short video
- 0:21explaining how banks trade and the
- 0:24entire wyckoff method
- 0:27[Music]
- 0:32welcome back to the channel everybody my
- 0:34name's artie and this is the moving
- 0:35average a show where we discuss
- 0:37everything day trading to keep you
- 0:38profitable on a consistent basis okay
- 0:41now if you are not a intermediate or
- 0:43advanced trader please just click away
- 0:45from this video this is extremely
- 0:47advanced stuff and you need to learn the
- 0:50basics before you get into this that's
- 0:52why i've been waiting for over 100
- 0:54videos to make this it's
- 0:56it's not the easiest thing the wyckoff
- 0:58principal or wyckoff method
- 1:01um actually let's just get into the
- 1:03charts and i'm going to show you what
- 1:04i'm talking about so there are four main
- 1:06parts of the y-cof method the first part
- 1:09is the law of supply and demand when
- 1:12demand is greater than the supply the
- 1:14price will rise then when the supply is
- 1:17greater than the demand the price will
- 1:19fall and one of the tools that you can
- 1:21use to identify this is volume bars so
- 1:25for example in an area like this you can
- 1:27see that the price was going flat yet
- 1:30volume is massive same thing right here
- 1:34price is flat yet volume is spiking i
- 1:38will get into that a little bit later
- 1:39the second part to the wyckoff method is
- 1:41the law of cause and effect the two
- 1:44examples put forth in the wyckoff method
- 1:47is a period of accumulation moves into
- 1:50an uptrend the cause and the effect and
- 1:53a period of distribution moves into a
- 1:56downtrend
- 1:57cause and effect so for example this
- 2:00would be a period of accumulation
- 2:02causing the uptrend and this would be a
- 2:05period of distribution which will
- 2:08probably end up in a downtrend as it did
- 2:11here as well as here now the third part
- 2:14is the law of effort and result this is
- 2:17where we're going to look at the volume
- 2:19bars in conjunction with price action so
- 2:21the first example that i showed you
- 2:23right here was this period of
- 2:25accumulation accumulation is basically
- 2:28consolidation on the bottom end so we
- 2:31had this big move down
- 2:33a slow moving period of accumulation
- 2:37this consolidation phase and yet you
- 2:39could see in this area when the price
- 2:41was dropping the volume was relatively
- 2:43growing and you know getting there
- 2:46now in this period where the price
- 2:49action is flat you see this massive
- 2:51amount of volume that's the effort and
- 2:54result that this theory is pointing to
- 2:57that in these zones there's massive
- 2:59amounts of volume so this is basically
- 3:01like a divergence price is flat yet
- 3:04volume is high
- 3:06versus when it's in confluence with each
- 3:08other you know you get that nice smooth
- 3:10movement down or up these are the areas
- 3:12you need to look out for i get asked all
- 3:15the time how do you know if price is
- 3:16consolidating it's because it's flat and
- 3:19volume is massively high that's how you
- 3:21know the fourth part of the wyckoff
- 3:23method is known as the composite man um
- 3:26basically this is wyckoff's way of
- 3:29saying that the market is pushed by an
- 3:32evil entity the man the banks the
- 3:35manipulators
- 3:37and this allows you to think of the
- 3:40market manipulator as a bad guy and you
- 3:42know how he moves the market to screw
- 3:44over the retail trader and how you can
- 3:47actually get on board with him so you
- 3:50guys probably want to know how to trade
- 3:52this there are four stages to the whole
- 3:57wyckoff thing and there's multiple i'm
- 3:58going to get into like a more in-depth
- 4:00video if you want to see that if you
- 4:02actually do want to see that let me know
- 4:03in the comment section down below but
- 4:05i'm going to try to make this video
- 4:06super short because every y cough video
- 4:08is like an hour and a half long okay if
- 4:11we fine tune this area of consolidation
- 4:14you can see that once price started
- 4:16going flat volume started to rise and
- 4:19then we got this spike out of this range
- 4:22and then it broke out this spike out of
- 4:24the range is the trap that literally
- 4:27like the people that got stuck here
- 4:28really really got screwed and this is
- 4:30what the composite man does he
- 4:33traps traitors right here this is the
- 4:35false breakout that i was talking about
- 4:37in previous videos this is known as the
- 4:40spring in the wyckoff method and it's
- 4:42usually in an area of consolidation
- 4:45which is on the bottom end known as a
- 4:47period of accumulation with high volume
- 4:50spikes and then it breaks out of that
- 4:53range and that's when you can go in for
- 4:54a long position so
- 4:56when the price is accumulating after a
- 4:59long downtrend this is why you want to
- 5:02enter your trade at the top of this
- 5:04range and not worry about these
- 5:06breakouts keep the breakouts in your
- 5:08mind and think of them as springs these
- 5:10are the massive traps so look for the
- 5:12breakout of these ranges with massive
- 5:14volume and then you should start looking
- 5:16for a long position once it breaks out
- 5:18of that range after the accumulation
- 5:20phase which is the first phase of the
- 5:22wyckoff method the next one is the mark
- 5:24up which is right here it breaks out of
- 5:26that range moves up that's the markup
- 5:28the next phase is distribution it's
- 5:30another phase of consolidation but this
- 5:32is on the high end and while
- 5:34distribution is going you should be
- 5:36looking for your positions to go short
- 5:38so again you get this area of
- 5:40consolidation with high spikes in volume
- 5:43and then you get the spring out another
- 5:46high spike in volume followed by a drop
- 5:48in the price in the market this is known
- 5:50as the mark down now this is an
- 5:52extremely basic way to look at it the
- 5:55whole wyckoff theory is extremely deep
- 5:59and it can be broken down like way way
- 6:02way more than what i'm doing right here
- 6:04but i just want to give you a general
- 6:06sense of price action supply and demand
- 6:09and the white cough theory just to recap
- 6:11we have a period of accumulation with
- 6:13high volume spikes
- 6:15followed by the mark up the uptrend once
- 6:17that uptrend is exhausted we fall into a
- 6:20period of distribution another
- 6:22consolidation range with high volume
- 6:25spikes and you need to keep an eye out
- 6:27for the springs the breaks out of those
- 6:30ranges those are the signals that once
- 6:32those happen then you start looking for
- 6:34your entry to go short after a period of
- 6:37distribution and to go long after a
- 6:39period of accumulation now also just to
- 6:41clarify what the composite man does the
- 6:44market manipulator he right here
- 6:47is buying up a few positions not to
- 6:50really you know make the market go crazy
- 6:53but just to like build up his his long
- 6:55position so he buys and buys and buys
- 6:57every time he's at the bottom of this
- 6:59range right here and then the last push
- 7:01down is caused by the composite man and
- 7:04then they start really taking off same
- 7:07thing goes on the opposite end there's a
- 7:09cell there's a cell and then there's a
- 7:12big push off cell while the retail
- 7:14trader is buying up he is slowly selling
- 7:18off and then causing the mark down phase
- 7:21now again if you guys want another
- 7:23in-depth video explaining the entire
- 7:26like breakdown of the accumulation phase
- 7:29and the entire like series of events
- 7:32that happens in each one of these phases
- 7:34to get the laser entries let me know in
- 7:36the comment section down below it goes
- 7:39you know phase a phase b all the way to
- 7:41phase e breaking the support and
- 7:42resistance lines like this is
- 7:44really really in-depth advanced stuff
- 7:48so i just wanted to give you a breakdown
- 7:49of the wyckoff theory and the why cough
- 7:52method and how it works and how supply
- 7:54and demand works so if you guys enjoyed
