  1. 0:00every day trader knows that the main
  2. 0:03push of whatever market movement is
  3. 0:05happening is due to banks and financial
  4. 0:08institutions and big money the retail
  5. 0:11trader cannot affect the market as the
  6. 0:14big banks can a lot of you guys have
  7. 0:16been requesting this video so i'm going
  8. 0:18to try to do a extremely short video
  9. 0:21explaining how banks trade and the
  10. 0:24entire wyckoff method
  11. 0:27[Music]
  12. 0:32welcome back to the channel everybody my
  13. 0:34name's artie and this is the moving
  14. 0:35average a show where we discuss
  15. 0:37everything day trading to keep you
  16. 0:38profitable on a consistent basis okay
  17. 0:41now if you are not a intermediate or
  18. 0:43advanced trader please just click away
  19. 0:45from this video this is extremely
  20. 0:47advanced stuff and you need to learn the
  21. 0:50basics before you get into this that's
  22. 0:52why i've been waiting for over 100
  23. 0:54videos to make this it's
  24. 0:56it's not the easiest thing the wyckoff
  25. 0:58principal or wyckoff method
  26. 1:01um actually let's just get into the
  27. 1:03charts and i'm going to show you what
  28. 1:04i'm talking about so there are four main
  29. 1:06parts of the y-cof method the first part
  30. 1:09is the law of supply and demand when
  31. 1:12demand is greater than the supply the
  32. 1:14price will rise then when the supply is
  33. 1:17greater than the demand the price will
  34. 1:19fall and one of the tools that you can
  35. 1:21use to identify this is volume bars so
  36. 1:25for example in an area like this you can
  37. 1:27see that the price was going flat yet
  38. 1:30volume is massive same thing right here
  39. 1:34price is flat yet volume is spiking i
  40. 1:38will get into that a little bit later
  41. 1:39the second part to the wyckoff method is
  42. 1:41the law of cause and effect the two
  43. 1:44examples put forth in the wyckoff method
  44. 1:47is a period of accumulation moves into
  45. 1:50an uptrend the cause and the effect and
  46. 1:53a period of distribution moves into a
  47. 1:56downtrend
  48. 1:57cause and effect so for example this
  49. 2:00would be a period of accumulation
  50. 2:02causing the uptrend and this would be a
  51. 2:05period of distribution which will
  52. 2:08probably end up in a downtrend as it did
  53. 2:11here as well as here now the third part
  54. 2:14is the law of effort and result this is
  55. 2:17where we're going to look at the volume
  56. 2:19bars in conjunction with price action so
  57. 2:21the first example that i showed you
  58. 2:23right here was this period of
  59. 2:25accumulation accumulation is basically
  60. 2:28consolidation on the bottom end so we
  61. 2:31had this big move down
  62. 2:33a slow moving period of accumulation
  63. 2:37this consolidation phase and yet you
  64. 2:39could see in this area when the price
  65. 2:41was dropping the volume was relatively
  66. 2:43growing and you know getting there
  67. 2:46now in this period where the price
  68. 2:49action is flat you see this massive
  69. 2:51amount of volume that's the effort and
  70. 2:54result that this theory is pointing to
  71. 2:57that in these zones there's massive
  72. 2:59amounts of volume so this is basically
  73. 3:01like a divergence price is flat yet
  74. 3:04volume is high
  75. 3:06versus when it's in confluence with each
  76. 3:08other you know you get that nice smooth
  77. 3:10movement down or up these are the areas
  78. 3:12you need to look out for i get asked all
  79. 3:15the time how do you know if price is
  80. 3:16consolidating it's because it's flat and
  81. 3:19volume is massively high that's how you
  82. 3:21know the fourth part of the wyckoff
  83. 3:23method is known as the composite man um
  84. 3:26basically this is wyckoff's way of
  85. 3:29saying that the market is pushed by an
  86. 3:32evil entity the man the banks the
  87. 3:35manipulators
  88. 3:37and this allows you to think of the
  89. 3:40market manipulator as a bad guy and you
  90. 3:42know how he moves the market to screw
  91. 3:44over the retail trader and how you can
  92. 3:47actually get on board with him so you
  93. 3:50guys probably want to know how to trade
  94. 3:52this there are four stages to the whole
  95. 3:57wyckoff thing and there's multiple i'm
  96. 3:58going to get into like a more in-depth
  97. 4:00video if you want to see that if you
  98. 4:02actually do want to see that let me know
  99. 4:03in the comment section down below but
  100. 4:05i'm going to try to make this video
  101. 4:06super short because every y cough video
  102. 4:08is like an hour and a half long okay if
  103. 4:11we fine tune this area of consolidation
  104. 4:14you can see that once price started
  105. 4:16going flat volume started to rise and
  106. 4:19then we got this spike out of this range
  107. 4:22and then it broke out this spike out of
  108. 4:24the range is the trap that literally
  109. 4:27like the people that got stuck here
  110. 4:28really really got screwed and this is
  111. 4:30what the composite man does he
  112. 4:33traps traitors right here this is the
  113. 4:35false breakout that i was talking about
  114. 4:37in previous videos this is known as the
  115. 4:40spring in the wyckoff method and it's
  116. 4:42usually in an area of consolidation
  117. 4:45which is on the bottom end known as a
  118. 4:47period of accumulation with high volume
  119. 4:50spikes and then it breaks out of that
  120. 4:53range and that's when you can go in for
  121. 4:54a long position so
  122. 4:56when the price is accumulating after a
  123. 4:59long downtrend this is why you want to
  124. 5:02enter your trade at the top of this
  125. 5:04range and not worry about these
  126. 5:06breakouts keep the breakouts in your
  127. 5:08mind and think of them as springs these
  128. 5:10are the massive traps so look for the
  129. 5:12breakout of these ranges with massive
  130. 5:14volume and then you should start looking
  131. 5:16for a long position once it breaks out
  132. 5:18of that range after the accumulation
  133. 5:20phase which is the first phase of the
  134. 5:22wyckoff method the next one is the mark
  135. 5:24up which is right here it breaks out of
  136. 5:26that range moves up that's the markup
  137. 5:28the next phase is distribution it's
  138. 5:30another phase of consolidation but this
  139. 5:32is on the high end and while
  140. 5:34distribution is going you should be
  141. 5:36looking for your positions to go short
  142. 5:38so again you get this area of
  143. 5:40consolidation with high spikes in volume
  144. 5:43and then you get the spring out another
  145. 5:46high spike in volume followed by a drop
  146. 5:48in the price in the market this is known
  147. 5:50as the mark down now this is an
  148. 5:52extremely basic way to look at it the
  149. 5:55whole wyckoff theory is extremely deep
  150. 5:59and it can be broken down like way way
  151. 6:02way more than what i'm doing right here
  152. 6:04but i just want to give you a general
  153. 6:06sense of price action supply and demand
  154. 6:09and the white cough theory just to recap
  155. 6:11we have a period of accumulation with
  156. 6:13high volume spikes
  157. 6:15followed by the mark up the uptrend once
  158. 6:17that uptrend is exhausted we fall into a
  159. 6:20period of distribution another
  160. 6:22consolidation range with high volume
  161. 6:25spikes and you need to keep an eye out
  162. 6:27for the springs the breaks out of those
  163. 6:30ranges those are the signals that once
  164. 6:32those happen then you start looking for
  165. 6:34your entry to go short after a period of
  166. 6:37distribution and to go long after a
  167. 6:39period of accumulation now also just to
  168. 6:41clarify what the composite man does the
  169. 6:44market manipulator he right here
  170. 6:47is buying up a few positions not to
  171. 6:50really you know make the market go crazy
  172. 6:53but just to like build up his his long
  173. 6:55position so he buys and buys and buys
  174. 6:57every time he's at the bottom of this
  175. 6:59range right here and then the last push
  176. 7:01down is caused by the composite man and
  177. 7:04then they start really taking off same
  178. 7:07thing goes on the opposite end there's a
  179. 7:09cell there's a cell and then there's a
  180. 7:12big push off cell while the retail
  181. 7:14trader is buying up he is slowly selling
  182. 7:18off and then causing the mark down phase
  183. 7:21now again if you guys want another
  184. 7:23in-depth video explaining the entire
  185. 7:26like breakdown of the accumulation phase
  186. 7:29and the entire like series of events
  187. 7:32that happens in each one of these phases
  188. 7:34to get the laser entries let me know in
  189. 7:36the comment section down below it goes
  190. 7:39you know phase a phase b all the way to
  191. 7:41phase e breaking the support and
  192. 7:42resistance lines like this is
  193. 7:44really really in-depth advanced stuff
  194. 7:48so i just wanted to give you a breakdown
  195. 7:49of the wyckoff theory and the why cough
  196. 7:52method and how it works and how supply
  197. 7:54and demand works so if you guys enjoyed
