by Richard D. Wyckoff

Book Description: Alanpuri Trading, Los Angeles, 2012. Hardcover. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. Hardcover, pictorial (vintage-look) photo boards, Reprint, exact facsimile of the rare 1931-34 title originally published by Richard D. Wyckoff, Hardcover Reprint of the Original Document published in 1944. (Copyright 1931, 1932, 1933 by Richard D. Wyckoff, Copyright 1934 by Richard D. Wyckoff, Inc., Copyright 1936-1937 and 1944 by Wyckoff Associates, Inc.) 400 pp.  

Book Condition: New, some charts that were originally "white lines and text over black background" are a bit difficult to read, but should suffice for the purpose the author intended, all text is clear and legible.  

Contents: How to Proceed, Foreword, Basic Law, Judging the Market by its Own Action, Forms of Charts, Buying and Selling Waves, Chart Records, Determining the Trend of the Market - Composite Averages, Comparing Strength and Weakness - Group Averages, How a Campaign is Conducted - Individual Chart Studies Part 1, How the Operator's Intentions May Be Detected - Chart Studies II, Figure Charts - Individual Chart Studies Part III, Figure Charts - Individual Chart Studies Part IV, Figure Charts - NY Times Average - Chart Studies Part V, Market Technique - Volume Studies, Significance of Trend Lines, Vertical Line Charts - Chart Studies Part VI, Vertical Line Charts - Chart Studies Part VII, Selecting the Best Stocks - Position Sheet - Barometer, How to Determine the Position of an Individual Stock, Buying and Selling Test, Refinements, The Wave Chart, Stop Orders - How to Handle Them, General Instructions - Cautionary Suggestions, Market Philosophy - Cautionary Suggestions (continued), Addenda -- end. 400 pages.  

Summary: EXTREMELY SCARCE TRADING COURSE from Wyckoff written in the early 1930 (Wyckoff died in 1934). The course has stood the test of time. This is a very difficult title to find even in reprint form. Originals, if you can find one, are 5 figures. Wyckoff was a very disciplined trader and this course reflects his focus, tenacity and attention to detail. Bookseller Note: There seems to be some debate and confusion on different versions of this title and their publication dates. The title page on THIS version shows copyright dates from 1931 to 1944 (see title page photo), most of the individual pages have copyright dates of 1931 AND 1937. Unfortunately I can not speak to the reason behind the dates, but have done my best to present the data exactly as it appears on the documents themselves. We've included a complete Table of Contents (see photo or text above), so you can confirm whether this is the version you're looking for or not. The content in this hardbound reprint version is the same content that was originally sold through The Investment Centre Bookstore in Los Angeles in the 1970s and 80s. 400 pages. Highly Collectible Reprint.
