Wyckoff Trading Course – Wyckoff Analytics – SPRING 2019
In the first four sessions of the WTC, you will learn how to to read market structure by applying Wyckoff’s cardinal insights regarding the interplay of price, volume and time. Understanding market structure allows you to anticipate coming price action. You will learn to identify and analyze accumulation, distribution, re-accumulation and re-distribution – the key trading ranges that power trends. You will also learn Wyckoff Method trade set-ups based on market structure, how to enter a new or an existing trend, and how to recognize in advance when a trend is likely to end.

“Studying Wyckoff under Roman is one of the best decisions that I have made in my life. While progressing through the Wyckoff Trading Course, I earned 15x the money that I paid for tuition.” (PL – WTC graduate)
WTC Part II (Spring 2019) – SUPPLY AND DEMAND
Description: Here Mr. Bogomazov will focus in detail on identifying supply and demand on any chart. The Wyckoff Method is based on the assumption that all freely traded markets are governed by supply and demand. In today’s markets, as in Wyckoff’s time, large professional interests dominate supply and demand. Having the ability to accurately read supply and demand on a chart will allow you to make better decisions about timing your entries and exits and to join the large operators rather than being caught on the wrong side of a trade.
- Concepts in supply and demand – the forces that move all markets
- Who is the composite operator and how do his actions in the market affect supply and demand?
- Volume and spread analysis
- Variations of spread and volume in different market environments
- Effort (volume) versus results (price action) – confirmation and discordance both predict future price behavior
- Volume analysis and schematics in trading ranges
- Volume characteristics in different phases of accumulation and distribution
- Wyckoff’s springboard: when price is poised to move
- Tradable volume patterns
- Exercises and homework assignments
- Mini-course Duration: 4 online sessions
Dates: Monday afternoons; February 4, 11, 18, and 25
Time: 3:00-5:30 p.m. (Pacific Time)
Prerequisite: WTC Part I (Wyckoff Structural Price Analysis) or consent of instructor
“Roman, without question, your instruction is exceptional and your patience endless. You have such a mastery of this material…[and] offer exceptional value both for the knowledge and time that is made available to students. There is no doubt that you walk in the noble footsteps of Wyckoff himself: developing and sharing knowledge without reserve.” (JC – WTC graduate and current WMD participant)
WTC Part III (Spring 2019) – RELATIVE AND COMPARATIVE STRENGTH
Description: Relative and comparative strength are Wyckoff Method concepts that can help you select the top stocks in the best sectors to trade, particularly at market turns. In this part of the course, you will learn how to apply these concepts to identify candidates for long or short trades, and how they can also be used to improve the timing of your entries and exits.
- Relative and comparative strength analysis: how to choose the best vehicles to trade
- Use of comparative strength for stock selection in the Wyckoff Method
- Improving the Wyckoff Method’s comparative strength analysis in trading ranges
- Differences between relative and comparative performance

Dates: Monday afternoons; March 4, 11, 18, and 25
Time: 3:00-5:30 p.m. (Pacific Time)
Prerequisite: WTC Parts I and II (Wyckoff Structural Price Analysis and Supply and Demand) or consent of instructor
