David H. Weis 
Trades About to Happen 
A Modern Adaptation of the Wyckoff Method

The definitive book on adapting the classic work of Richard
Wyckoff to today’s markets

Price and volume analysis is one of the most effective
approaches to market analysis. It was pioneered by Richard Wyckoff,
who worked on Wall Street during the golden age of technical
analysis. In Trades About to Happen, veteran trader David
Weis explains how to utilize the principles behind Wyckoff’s work
and make effective trades with this method.

Page by page, Weis clearly demonstrates how to construct
intraday wave charts similar to Wyckoff’s originals, draw
support/resistance lines, interpret the struggle for dominance in
trading ranges, and recognize action signals at turning points.

* Analyzes markets one bar chart at a time, which recreates the
ambiguity of actual trading

* Emphasizes reading price/volume charts without a secondary
reliance on mathematical indicators

* Includes a short study guide in the appendix to help readers
master the material

Filled with in-depth insights and practical advice, Trades
About to Happen promises to be the definitive work on utilizing
Wyckoff’s classic methods in today’s turbulent markets.
