Who Is Wyckoff — and Why Should You Care?
A 100-year-old method that still beats 95% of retail traders.
What This Means
Richard D. Wyckoff was a Wall Street insider in the early 1900s. He studied how the biggest operators — banks, institutions — moved markets. His discovery: markets don't move randomly. They follow a cycle of Accumulation → Markup → Distribution → Markdown. Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

The Rule
Smart money never buys at the top or sells at the bottom — they accumulate quietly, then let retail push the price for them.
Your job: spot the accumulation early.

Do these steps exactly1
Open any daily chart of XAUUSD or EURUSD
2
Zoom out to 6 months of data
3
Look for a sideways ranging zone lasting 2+ weeks before a big move
4
That sideways zone is likely an Accumulation or Distribution phase
5
Draw a box around it and label it: ACC (accumulation) if before a rally, DIST (distribution) if before a drop
Common Mistake
Don't look for Wyckoff on small timeframes. The real accumulation happens on the 4H or Daily chart. Zooming in too far makes it invisible.
