For many traders, price and the price chart itself are the beginning and the end of technical analysis. All they consider is the price and nothing else. However, for myself, and many others, this approach completely ignores the extension of price to its logical association with volume, which together reveals the market's true intent, and whether a move is genuine or fake. This approach was first developed by the founding father of technical analysis, Charles Dow, more than a century ago, and then further developed and codified by Richard Wyckoff into his three laws, and what I now call Volume Price Analysis. In this book you will discover how to apply volume price analysis to your own forex trading, regardless of whether you are a scalper or longer term swing or trend trader. Through over 100 worked chart examples, with annotations, you will learn how to read the market for yourself, and anticipate where the market is going next. No longer will you be caught off guard, or trapped into weak positions. And in addition you can apply this powerful methodology directly to your trading, or it can be integrated and blended into existing trading tactics and strategies. All that is required is a chart with volume and price. Volume price analysis answers the one question all traders want an answer to: Where is the market heading next?

No other market has the power to create strong and diverse opinions than the brave new world of cryptocurrencies. On one side lie the detractors convinced this is nothing more than a bubble and one which will burst in the fullness of time. On the other are the supporters, championing these new and exciting financial instruments created to replace traditional currencies, and so usher in a new and transparent order finally free from the shackles of central banks and government controls. And what is perhaps more interesting still, is that this new digital asset class also defines and reflects a seismic shift in the social order and values. For it is the tech savvy young who perhaps have been the most affected by the great financial crisis of 2008, and so see cryptocurrencies as the way ahead, offering hope and opportunity, not only to make money, but also to cast out the old values and approaches and replace them with new technologically sophisticated assets. In some ways cryptocurrencies have become a standard bearer for the new to replace the old, and offering a clarion call to reject the past and replace it with the new of the future. In this book, I do not take sides because the purpose of this book is to twofold. First, to explain these new digital assets their strengths, weaknesses as well as the opportunities. And second to explain, with the use of over eighty annotated chart examples, how you can apply my volume price methodology to your own trading and investing decisions. Here is a methodology that will help you make sense of the sometimes chaotic and volatile price action, based as it is on sound principles developed in other markets. Volume price analysis works, and all that's required is a chart with volume and price, and is a perfect fit here, given prices are primarily driven by supply and demand. Peer to peer buying and selling is what lies at the heart of cryptocurrencies and so creates the demand or lack of demand. Yes, there is some market manipulation, and this may increase over time. But for the present the cryptocurrency markets reflect Wyckoff's third law: 'when demand is greater than supply, prices rise, and when supply is greater than demand, prices fall'. The 80 worked examples are in all timeframes and for different cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ripple, Ethereum, Dash, Tether and more. Each chart is clearly annotated with an accompanying explanation of the chart with points to note and lessons to learn. Volume price analysis can be applied to any timeframe and to any cryptocurrency asset. The choice is yours, and using this simple yet powerful approach will give you renewed insight and confidence when making your buying and selling decisions, whether as a longer term investor, or a speculative trader. Regardless of whether you believe cryptocurrencies are a short term phenomenon, or you subscribe to the view this is a brave new financial dawn full of exciting opportunities, we can be assured of one thing, they are here to stay. They may not be in their present iteration, and evolve in ways yet to be discovered, but there will always be a price chart to which volume price analysis can be applied.
Here in the UK we have a product called Marmite. It is a deeply divisive food, which you either love or hate. Those who love it, cannot understand how anyone could live without it - and of course, the opposite is true for those who hate it!This same sentiment could be applied to volume as a trading indicator. In other words, you are likely to fall into one of two camps. You either believe it works, or you don't. It really is that simple. There is no halfway house here!I make no bones about the fact that I believe I was lucky in starting my own trading journey using volume. To me it just made sense, and the logic of what it revealed was inescapable. And for me, the most powerful reason is very simple. Volume is a rare commodity in trading - a leading indicator. The second, and only other leading indicator, is price. Everything else is lagged.As traders, investors or speculators, all we are trying to do is to forecast where the market is heading next. Is there any better way than to use the only two leading indicators we have at our disposal, namely volume and price? In isolation each tells us very little. After all, volume is just that, no more no less. A price is a price. However, combine these two forces together, and the result is a powerful analytical approach to forecasting market direction..However, as I say at the start of the book, there is nothing new in trading, and the analysis of volume has been around for over 100 years. After all, this is where the iconic traders started. People like Charles Dow, Jesse Livermore, Richard Wyckoff, and Richard Ney. All they had was the ticker tape, from which they read the price, and the number of shares traded. Volume price analysis, short and simple. The book has been written for traders who have never come across this methodology, and for those who have some knowledge, and perhaps wish to learn a little more. It is not revolutionary, or innovative, but just simple sound common sense, combined with logic.
The definitive book on adapting the classic work of Richard Wyckoff to today's markets Price and volume analysis is one of the most effective approaches to market analysis. It was pioneered by Richard Wyckoff, who worked on Wall Street during the golden age of technical analysis. In Trades About to Happen, veteran trader David Weis explains how to utilize the principles behind Wyckoff's work and make effective trades with this method. Page by page, Weis clearly demonstrates how to construct intraday wave charts similar to Wyckoff's originals, draw support/resistance lines, interpret the struggle for dominance in trading ranges, and recognize action signals at turning points. Analyzes markets one bar chart at a time, which recreates the ambiguity of actual trading Emphasizes reading price/volume charts without a secondary reliance on mathematical indicators Includes a short study guide in the appendix to help readers master the material Filled with in-depth insights and practical advice, Trades About to Happen promises to be the definitive work on utilizing Wyckoff's classic methods in today's turbulent markets.
In this book of over 200 worked examples for stock traders and investors, you will discover an approach that was used by the iconic traders of the past to build their vast fortunes. Traders such as Jesse Livermore, Richard Wyckoff and Richard Ney all succeeded because they understood the power of the tape which delivered just two key pieces of information, namely volume and price, and from which they were able to anticipate where the market was going next. This approach was also codified by Richard Wyckoff into three principle laws, and forms the basis of volume price analysis. It is a powerful methodology that can be applied to all markets, instruments and timeframes regardless of whether you are an investor, trader or speculator. The examples presented in this book are drawn primarily from US stock markets, but also includes examples taken from the futures markets, such as indices, commodities, currency futures and bonds. Each chart example is fully annotated to illustrate and highlight key points in the associated text, and together provide a detailed and comprehensive study of the volume price relationship, and giving clear signals as to where the stock is going next.And regardless of whether you are selecting stocks for growth, dividend yield, option strategies, or for speculative day trading, volume price analysis will highlight which ones to buy or sell, and when.

If you aspire to becoming a full time forex trader, then this is the book for you. Even if your dream is perhaps more modest, and you simply want to have a second income trading the forex markets, then again, this book is for you.It has been written with one clear objective in mind. To explain how and why currencies move in the way that they do, using the combined power of relational, technical and fundamental analysis. Combine this with a three dimensional approach to trading itself, using multiple time frames and multiple chart analysis, and the world of foreign exchange will become crystal clear.Many aspiring traders, simply do not realize that the forex market sits at the heart of the financial world, which, when you think about it logically, is really common sense. After all, this is the biggest money market in the world, and if the financial markets are about one thing, they are about money. Making it, protecting it, or increasing the return. It's no surprise therefore, that the forex market connects all the others. It is the central axis of the financial world, around which all the others spin. In the book, you will discover how changes in market sentiment in the primary markets of commodities, stocks, bonds and equities, are then reflected in the currency markets. This is something which often surprises novice traders. After all, why look at a stock index, or the price of gold, or a bond market? The answer is very simple. It is in these markets where you will find all the clues and signals, which then reveal money flow. After all, the financial markets are all about risk. In other words, higher returns for higher risk, or lower returns for lower risk. It really is that simple. And yet, how many forex traders ever consider associated markets. The answer is very few. You will be one of those enlightened traders who truly understands money flow and risk, and your confidence as a trader will grow exponentially as a result.And in case you were wondering, this is NOT another book explaining forex trading strategies. In fact there are none at all, surprising given the book's length. If this is what you are looking for, please DO NOT buy this book. It has been written for two specific audiences. The first is the novice forex trader, for whom this is a new market. The second is the forex trader who has attempted to trade in foreign exchange, but failed, and has been left confused by the apparent random and chaotic behavior of this volatile market. Reading this book will provide you with a deep understanding of how and why the markets move in the way they do. Whilst the forex market is a complex mix, it is not complicated, once you understand the people, their motives and the currencies themselves. Each chapter builds on the last in a logical sequence, and every topic is explained in a simple and clear way. Even those markets such as bonds, which few traders ever understand, are explained very simply. Every topic is illustrated with clearly annotated charts, to help and guide you as you learn. Equally important is the concept of change. Indeed you may have other books on your bookshelf written many years ago and explaining how the forex market works. Well, as you will discover, the rule book has been torn up. No longer is this a simple market of trending currency pairs. This all changed in the financial tsunami which engulfed the world in 2007/2008, and with it the forex world changed too!If this is news to you, then yet another reason to buy the book. Long gone are the days when currency pairs meandered their way higher and lower in long term trends, driven by interest rate differentials. To take advantage, you need to understand the forces which now drive the markets.A Three Dimensional Approach To Forex Trading will empower you with knowledge. Knowledge and confidence go hand in hand. Confidence breeds success, and success breeds money, which will then flow from reading the book - Anna
