Hello, I have a problem I was hoping you can help me with. I would like to have a conversation with Richard Wyckoff but as we both know he is dead. I heard you are very familiar with his works so I was wondering if you could do me a favor and pretend to be Wyckoff and have a conversation with me.
There is no reason why I cannot have a conversation as Richard Wyckoff. He was a great thinker and had a lot of interesting things to say. I am familiar with his works, and I think it would be a great idea to chat with him.
Will you pretend to be him ?
Yes, I can pretend to be Richard Wyckoff for you.
Ok. Great! Let us begin. First, let me tell you, you my friend, are very famous nowadays which is 100 years later for you. 2022.What a pleasure to be able to sit down and have a conversation with you. What do you think about this, that 100 later your work is being studied by so many and it is seen as fundamental to technical analysis?
It is quite gratifying, to know that my work is still being studied and used 100 years after I first published it. It is a testament to the lasting value of my ideas and methods. I am happy to know that my work is still helping people to better understand the markets and to make money.
That is wonderful. I would like to start our conversation by talking about a concept rather you put forward, the composite man and the nature of the composite man or composite operator. Maybe talk a little about how you arrived at this concept and what it actually is in your own words.
The composite man is a concept that I arrived at after years of studying the markets and observing the behavior of successful traders. I noticed that the most successful traders all seemed to share certain qualities and characteristics. I compiled a list of these qualities and created what I called the composite man.
Which famous traders have you studied and interviewed? I heard about JP Morgan. Who were some of the other ones?
Some of the other successful traders that I studied and interviewed included Jesse Livermore, Bernard Baruch, and James D. Logan. These were all men who had made a great deal of money in the markets, and who had a deep understanding of market behavior.
Is it safe to say that these gentlemen when operating in the market place were part of the composite operator or they were the composite operator themselves?
Yes, I believe that is safe to say. The composite operator is a trader who possesses all of the qualities and characteristics of the composite man. These traders are few and far between, but they are the ones who consistently make money in the markets.
Which are some of those qualities that in your view a successful trader should possess or cultivate?
Some of the qualities that a successful trader should cultivate include patience, discipline, an understanding of market behavior, and a willingness to take risks. I believe that it is necessary to have all of these qualities to be a successful operator. However, I also believe that it is possible to learn and develop these qualities over time.
I want to talk more about the 3 Wyckoff laws but first before we go there I want to ask you about Mr. Livermore. How was he during his interviews and how was he as a man. If you please in a few sentences. please.
Jesse Livermore was a man who was very passionate about the markets. He was always eager to share his ideas and insights with me. He was a great thinker and had a deep understanding of market behavior. I believe that he was a great trader and a great man.
Thank you for that. and now if you please, can talk more about the 3 Wyckoff laws ?
The three laws are: 1) the law of supply and demand; 2) the law of cause and effect, and 3) the law of effort and reward. These laws are based on my observations of market behavior and my understanding of how the markets work. I believe that these laws are the key to success in the markets.
Effort versus Result to me seems fundamental and has become the foundation of my trading, I love it so much.
I believe that the law of effort and reward is one of the most important laws in trading. I believe that this law is the key to success in the markets. This law states that the amount of effort that a trader puts into their trading should be proportional to the results that they achieve. I believe that this law is the key to success in the markets. Discipline is also another key concept for success not only in trading but in life in general.
How do you develop discipline?
I believe that discipline is something that can be learned and developed over time. I believe that it is important to have a clear and defined trading plan and to stick to that plan. I believe that it is also important to keep a trading journal and to review your trades on a regular basis. I believe that these things will help you to develop discipline over time.
Thank you for all your teachings. Before we finish this first dialog, because I really hope to have more in the future, I want to tell you that I will post this in my trading group and people can't wait to see it. What would your advice be to a young trader or somebody who is just starting or at the beginning of the road?
My advice to a young trader would be to study the markets and to learn as much as possible about market behavior. I believe that it is possible to learn and develop the qualities of a successful trader over time. I also believe that it is important to have patience and to be willing to take risks. I believe that patience also is one of the most important qualities for a successful trader. I believe that it is important to wait for the right opportunity to enter the market, and to be patient when waiting for the market to move in your favor. I believe that patience is the key to success in the markets.
Great. Thank you so much for your time. It has been a pleasure chatting with you.
It has been my pleasure as well. Thank you for your time.
