RICHARD D. WYCKOFF, STUDIES IN TAPE READING
WYCKOFF >>
Inspired by the principles and concepts established by Wyckoff. The methodology primarily uses the 3 laws: The Law of Supply and Demand, Cause and Effect and Effort vs. Result. By using these tools, we can determine the background to be of either strength or weakness.
VSA >>
A branch of Wyckoff evolved into Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) founded by Tom Williams. The core of VSA is based upon the integral relationship between price, volume and the spread of the bar. Understanding this interaction provides the trader with the ability to read the market bar-by-bar.
Combining the works of Wyckoff, VSA and price action, ACME provides the process towards mastery of application, offering a modern interpretation of Wyckoff. This empowers the trader with precision, resulting with an increased edge throughout the trading process.
