Deep Prac­tice with Dr. Gary

My ini­tial impres­sions for the weekly meet­ings (Deep Prac­tice with Dr. Gary Pro­gram) was favourable.  I had pur­chased some of Dr Gary’s other prod­ucts and felt that he had a deep knowl­edge that he could com­mu­ni­cate.  It’s been a month now and my ini­tial impres­sions have been con­firmed in spades.  I have some back­ground to Wyck­off. I intu­itively felt that I had a weak­ness but could not fig­ure what the weak­ness until I joined the class: it’s the way I used to do the bar-by-bar analy­sis. Or rather the way I did not do it. Because my core strength lies in cre­at­ing robust inter­me­di­ate to long-term roadmaps, I found that the micro analy­sis gets over­looked. The weekly ses­sions with Dr Gary have pro­vided new insight.  I also like the ses­sions for the new info (at least for me) on Delib­er­ate Prac­tice and Dr Gary’s insights on the psy­cho­log­i­cal side of trad­ing.   Ray Bar­ros, Pro­fes­sional Trader, Fund Man­ager, Author, and Edu­ca­tor from Hong Kong

“My under­stand­ing of Wyckoff’s per­spec­tive of the mar­ket has deepen as com­pared to where I was before the pro­gram.  I used to do visu­al­iza­tion with the objec­tive of inter­nal­iz­ing trad­ing knowl­edge and expe­ri­ence from oth­ers but I wasn’t able to get the desired results.  I have found that the tech­nique of deep prac­tices has helped me to inter­nal­ize knowl­edge and expe­ri­ences faster.  So far the pro­gram has sharpen my obser­va­tions of demand and sup­ply.  I am pay­ing more atten­tion to all the sub­tle sig­nals that were dis­cussed in the program.

After doing deep prac­tices every­day and read­ing as many charts as I can, my read­ing of sup­ply and demand con­di­tions is get­ting more accu­rate.  My accu­racy in read­ing of trad­ing ranges has improved.  I am trad­ing spot forex on an intra­day basis.  I was able to pick up the direc­tion of a trade when a cur­rency pair is in its trad­ing range.  This has occurred in numer­ous occa­sions and the accu­racy is con­sis­tent.  For exam­ple, before the sell­off in NZDUSD due to the earth­quake in New Zealand, NZDUSD was trad­ing in a range.  I found that the sup­ply was increas­ing and demand was decreas­ing in a slow fash­ion.  And I decided to take a short on NZDUSD on No Demand bar near the top of the range.  It turned on to be a very prof­itable trade.  Another prof­itable trade was made on AUDUSD after the sell­off in NZDUSD.  Fol­low­ing the sell­off in NZDUSD, AUDUSD was sold down to below par.  I was watch­ing the AUDUSD in its trad­ing range and detected the pick­ing in demand.  So I took a long posi­tion on a shake­out and a sub­se­quent trade on a NS bar at the sup­port.  Both were nice and prof­itable trades.

I rec­om­mend this pro­gram to any trader because Deep Prac­tice can help one to develop and inter­nal­ize spe­cial­ized skills.  It also helps in devel­op­ing con­fi­dence to exe­cut­ing trades.”  Ivan from Singapore

“This is a unique study pro­gram that is sec­ond to none.  I have been try­ing to do ‘delib­er­ate prac­tice’ by myself, but I was always in doubt about the process since I have never done any­thing like this before and I have no idea if I was doing it right. I needed a coach for this kind of train­ing and you are now my coach. Now that I under­stand how to go about the train­ing I will do even more.  I have been good at entries but I have prob­lems at exits, due to not been able to read the mar­ket cor­rectly. Now with your coach­ing I am more con­fi­dent that I will do bet­ter in know­ing when weak­ness is com­ing in the mar­ket or any com­mod­ity or stock and then decide to have a bet­ter exit.  The train­ing can and will accel­er­ate your suc­cess in the mar­ket if you know how to read it. For this you need to prac­tice and prac­tice cor­rectly.” Tolis from Colorado

“I’m par­tic­i­pat­ing in Deep Prac­tice and am really get­ting a lot out of it — I didn’t real­ize I was over­look­ing some impor­tant fun­da­men­tals. I would never rec­om­mend learn­ing to trade alone to any­one; it leaves a lot of holes in the foun­da­tion, so it takes a lot longer to build from. I feel coaching/mentoring in some form (like Deep Prac­tice with Dr. Gary pro­gram) is invalu­able.” Maureen

“The bar by bar analy­sis prac­tice always makes me much sharper when read­ing charts. What I like about the class struc­ture is it is a sys­tem that forces me to allo­cate time to the prac­tice. There are times when I don’t feel like prac­tic­ing but because it is sched­uled, I do it any­way.  It is like a hav­ing a reg­u­lar time to exer­cise every day. By hav­ing it sched­uled, it com­pels me to do it even when I don’t feel like it.”  Eric from Mclean, Virginia

“After I fin­ished the Chart Read­ing Mas­tery I feel I need a guid­ance, coach­ing and con­tin­u­ous learn­ing pro­gram with tech­ni­cal and moti­va­tion tools and skills , that could help me to attain my goal of trad­ing for a liv­ing.  The pro­gram has absolutely help me expand my trad­ing knowl­edge and skills.  I’ve expe­ri­enced some setups (springs, UT…) inte­grated with back­ground that has worked fine and also other times that I was wrong I could see it quicker  and get out of trade.  I like the pro­gram because it pro­vides rou­tine tasks, trade man­age­ment, setup analy­sis, trad­ing ideas.  I’m con­vinced it’s a great way of mas­ter­ing mar­ket read­ing and attain the con­sis­tency in trad­ing.”  Lluís Tort from Ter­rassa (Barcelona)

“I joined Dr. Gary’s Deep Prac­tice Pro­gram to bring pro­fes­sional tech­nique and struc­ture to my learn­ing. My goal or mis­sion is to be a con­sis­tently suc­cess­fully trader as mea­sured by tak­ing entries and exits in accor­dance with my trad­ing plan rules and as evi­denced by a grow­ing equity curve over time.  Deep Prac­tice with Dr. Gary has ben­e­fited my trad­ing through forc­ing myself to com­plete many exam­ples of bar by bar anno­ta­tion for TDDs and days after TDDs.  I find that I have improved my own nightly anno­ta­tion and more impor­tantly my focus dur­ing the day has improved, result­ing in an increase in the suc­cess rate of observ­ing trades at sup­port or resis­tance where an obvi­ous sig­nal does not occur (eg UT or Spring) ie get­ting a feel for the over­all pic­ture based on the strength or weak­ness on indi­vid­ual bars as sup­port and resis­tance is approached.”  Bren­dan Smyth from Ireland

Trad­ing Psychology

hi, Dr. Gary… Received my Build­ing Trader Con­fi­dence (Over­come Fear) yes­ter­day– lis­tened to the whole thing.  I was amazed when you used the word STUCK in the class.  That is EXACTLY how I have been feel­ing– Stuck… Then you said– Stuck not Bro­ken– awe­some. It is like you were talk­ing to me per­son­ally. I hope you don’t mind me shar­ing my first day of trad­ing since I received your pro­gram–
1) I waited for my set up; took about an hour but then I actu­ally took it; did not just watch it go by and wish I had taken it (as usual).  Per­fect entry.
2) SUD rat­ing: 8… but, I actu­ally pulled the trig­ger so I was proud!
3) Then with my mind rac­ing I got out at 1 tick instead of my tar­get and, of course, it went exactly where I thought it would (as usual).
This was the best trade I ever took– why?- I real­ized that because of my fear I was actu­ally HOLDING MY BREATH though the whole 45 sec­ond process, sheesh! No mind­full­ness, here.  But, now I under­stand what is going on and I did not call myself an idiot or stu­pid, etc.
I have such a clear plan of where I am going now. I will stay with the same set up until I can get it to a SUD of 1–3 and actu­ally com­plete the entire trade accord­ing to my plan…  and then I can go to the next phase in my plan.
In the last 4 years of trad­ing I have cried at my com­puter more than once in frus­tra­tion. Today, I cry tears of joy and have an addi­tional $6.50 in my account.  Life is good.  Cindy from Arizona

… I have noticed a change in my behav­ior after attend­ing your lec­tures in terms of pulling the trig­ger. I am act­ing auto­mat­i­cally and not wor­ry­ing about the result. I feel detached and very lit­tle stress. I am not sure how this hap­pened but I am happy with the result.  William (Bill) Wermine, Fund Man­ager and Pro­fes­sional Trader, Malaysia

I pur­chased your Trad­ing Jour­nal video …  I have already viewed the video twice. It is a bril­liant pre­sen­ta­tion on very impor­tant sub­ject. I have learned a lot and enjoyed watch­ing the video thor­oughly.  The pdf files in com­bi­na­tion with the video really make this prod­uct extra­or­di­nar­ily use­ful. Con­sid­er­ing the mod­est price of this excel­lent pack­age, the ben­e­fits a trader  is most cer­tainly going to derive from it are dis­pro­por­tion­ately large!! Many thanks for pro­duc­ing this excel­lent video. It deserves to be viewed by every trader who wants to be con­sis­tently suc­cess­ful in his / her trad­ing.  Rama from Oregon

Hi Dr Gary,
I am attend­ing your webi­nar today and I am inter­ested to get more info about Wyck­off.  Great webi­nar it helps me clear up a lots of my confusion/questions.
Haris from Australia

Great insight Gary.  Very inter­est­ing what you said about focus­ing on the process VS. the emo­tion.  I didn’t see it that clearly, but that’s exactly what has been hap­pen­ing, thanks to you guys’ stress­ing the impor­tance of plan­ning.  By the way, I like how you described it as an emtion­ally live or die.  Though I’d wit­nessed it 1000 times, often being a vic­tim to it, I never heard it described in words.  It’s so true, your word­ing actu­ally cracked me up when I read it.  Ali from NY

The e-course is a great start­ing point for all types of traders. Its con­tent is focused and it rein­forces the most impor­tant points that should form the foun­da­tion of any trader’s trad­ing frame­work. Often, traders, par­tic­u­larly the begin­ners, do not have a frame­work. Even if they have one, it often does not incor­po­rate the most impor­tant points nec­es­sary to suc­ceed in long term trad­ing. Even as a trader with expe­ri­ence I find it very help­ful to have a “Back to the Basics” exer­cise, like your e-course. I am look­ing for­ward to read­ing the next install­ment in the e-course and also receiv­ing the Trad­ing Log that can be used to record the infor­ma­tion on indi­vid­ual trades.  Rama from Oregon

Wyck­off Spring Webinar

Wyck­off Spring

It was a truly enjoy­able and mas­ter­fully infor­ma­tive sem­i­nar. My only com­plaint was that IT WASN’T LONG ENOUGH!!! I have been wan­der­ing in the desert of indi­ca­tor dri­ven tech­ni­cal analy­sis for a long time. Over every sand dune was another MacD, Sto­chas­tic, RSI mirage and at every oasis was a mes­sianic fig­ure preach­ing false mar­ket gospel.  I was already con­vinced that I could never make indi­ca­tors work but had no clue about how pro­fes­sional money acted.  I found your style refresh­ing in that you are sure enough about your­self that you don’t have to dom­i­nate or “sell” your info.  Your pre­sen­ta­tion laid out the case with excel­lent exam­ples.  I learned so much in this way. This method of break­ing out a spe­cific aspect and dis­sect­ing it is a great way to learn this mate­r­ial.  Greg Shel­don, Jupiter, Florida

Wyck­off Up Thrust Webinar

Thank Gary again for the won­der­ful pre­sen­ta­tion (Wyck­off Up Thrust), beau­ti­ful, a pro­found and won­der­ful pre­sen­ta­tion, one that upon first lis­ten, (the live pre­sen­ta­tion), was amaz­ing and packed with impor­tant ideas.  Gary is a Mas­ter teacher and a Mas­ter at read­ing the mar­kets.  His heart is com­pas­sion­ate.  His patience is amaz­ing.  These com­bi­na­tions are almost unheard of from those who teach mar­ket tech­nique.  But the thing that is most impor­tant is that Gary is teach­ing Wychoff method, a way that I feel is head and shoul­ders above any con­cep­tu­al­iza­tion of mar­ket phe­nom­e­non out there.  It is about focus and becom­ing excel­lent at a thing that is very dif­fi­cult to mas­ter.  Dr. Scott H. Winkler

Well the Doc did it again, great class and addi­tion to a life study in com­mon sense trad­ing. Your classes are always well pre­sented so one can under­stand and then apply.  Wes­ley Black, Trader with 9 years of expe­ri­ence, Austin, Texas

Chart Read­ing Mastery

I have never seen Wycoff explained in such a sim­ple and con­cise man­ner. It was a total pack­age: Mar­ket under­stand­ing, how to read price charts and mar­ket struc­ture, momen­tum, trade setups with sim­ple trade setup sheets.  Any­one who attends your pro­gram will have the tools and knowl­edge to trade prof­itably. This is a rar­ity in the trad­ing sem­i­nar industry.  William (Bill) Wer­mine, Fund Man­ager and Pro­fes­sional Trader, Malaysia

This was a delight­ful assign­ment (Chart Read­ing Mas­tery) and I have had a won­der­ful trad­ing day on the EURUSD spot fx doing the assign­ment while live trad­ing. This is some of the coolest and most encour­ag­ing I have ever done. Today I have got the feel­ing of how pow­er­ful your work actu­ally is. With very lit­tle stress! I have two times been try­ing to get into a sell posi­tion for a larger down move, but it came up again for break even on both. I don’t mind, because it has given me a great expe­ri­ence with what we learned in pre­vi­ous ses­sion. The home­work illus­tra­tion with the trend­lines was the actual work behind the first sell posi­tion, but as first time and a bit baf­fled by see­ing the result with the work I hes­i­tated on this first one. So the illus­trated sell level was not the actual level. The other one went like that. After that I stopped, but see two other oppor­tu­ni­ties which came later.  I did not do the buy’s, because of the recent larger down move from 1.3855. Thank you big time   –Lars

What a beau­ti­ful sem­i­nar (Chart Read­ing Mas­tery).  Among all the won­der­ful ideas you expressed this week­end, I wanted to men­tion one in par­tic­u­lar that really talked to me. As a prac­tice you men­tioned the idea, based on a night time analy­sis of the ES, to antic­i­pate direc­tion, move­ment, price lev­els etc of the mar­ket for the fol­low­ing morn­ing. Keep track of your accu­racy and work to this direc­tion. What was so amaz­ing about that sug­ges­tion was how it relates to what one of my instruc­tors men­tioned to me when I was a stu­dent in Chi­ro­prac­tic col­lege. He sug­gested that I run my hand over the body, feel for heat, do my other bits of analy­sis and then make an edu­cated guess about where the prob­lem in the body was before I con­firmed the actual site thru solid phys­i­cal analy­sis.  He said this would help me with my intu­ition. I always still check in with the phys­i­cal being before I make an adjust­ment, but I would say over­all I am about 85% cor­rect with my intu­itive spec­u­la­tion, con­firmed by the body. Orig­i­nally I would say I started with a 5% cor­rect ratio.  I think there are many aspects to trad­ing, intu­ition being one, and to be given a tool to use to increase the sta­tis­ti­cal cor­rect­ness of your intuition…how won­der­ful. To learn the game, you got to play, but an expe­ri­enced guide is an invalu­able asset.  Dr. Scott H. Winkler

On a scale of 1–10 (10 = great), I rate Dr. Gary’s Eight Weeks to Chart Read­ing Mas­tery 10+ because I learned a great deal.  I looked for­ward to each class.  Learn­ing how to read the mar­ket and build­ing a story has fleshed out my meth­ods.  Before I took the class, I was good but incon­sis­tent.  Since Early Octo­ber (to early Decem­ber) I’ve had 1 los­ing trade and 13 win­ners.  Each trade is an imple­men­ta­tion of an edge, rather than a severe emo­tional attach­ment.  Jeff Parker, Trader with 23 years of trad­ing expe­ri­ence, North Carolina

On a scale of 1–10, I rated this course 11 because I went into this course with high expec­ta­tions and all were greatly exceeded.  Wyck­off method was struc­tured and explained in a very under­stand­able man­ner.  Work­ing through the exam­ples helped insure under­stand­ing and rein­forced what this approach is all about.  It helped me bet­ter under­stand mar­kets in a major way.  Explain­ing “Mind­ful­ness” and “Deep Prac­tice” and why they are nec­es­sary skills to being con­sis­tently suc­cess­ful in trad­ing was a big plus.  Reveal­ing how Deep Prac­tice is done to pro­gram this method (or any­thing else) into your sub­con­scious to the point where you rec­og­nize and react to oppor­tu­ni­ties with­out hes­i­ta­tion or fear and how Mind­ful­ness is prac­ticed in order to stay focused in the present moment when trad­ing (or any­thing else) are the miss­ing ingre­di­ents for other courses I’ve taken.  This course went the extra mile and was out­stand­ing. Before tak­ing this course I was try­ing to read price in iso­la­tion (with­out vol­ume).  Now that I know how they work together in the con­text of mar­ket struc­ture, I can view a chart and see more clearly what it’s try­ing to com­mu­ni­cate.  Some­times the mes­sage is evi­dent and other times not, but at least now I can dis­tin­guish between signs of oppor­tu­nity and dan­ger and plan accord­ingly.  Gary Brad­shaw, Trader with 4 years of trad­ing experience, Dallas, Texas

I rated this course 10+++ because it was the most pro­fes­sion­ally exe­cuted trad­ing course I have taken. I looked for­ward each week to the class and was sad when it was over. Dr. Day­ton clearly loves trad­ing and shar­ing his knowl­edge of trad­ing and psy­chol­ogy. I will always trade “Mind­fully”.  The course has given me a foun­da­tion for read­ing the mar­kets and build­ing a “Wyck­off” story.  I now have Trade Setups in my Trad­ing Plan and if a setup doesn’t fall into my cri­te­ria, I will not exe­cute a trade. I also do Deep Prac­tice after the mar­ket closes, along with anno­tat­ing my charts, and I have found this to be extremely ben­e­fi­cial.  I am a begin­ning trader and I feel that tak­ing this course has given me an edge over traders with more expe­ri­ence. I look at the back­ground and not at the right edge. It’s impor­tant to see who’s in con­trol; Buy­ers or Sell­ers. This course has taught me that my job as a Trader is not to trade, but find­ing trades that give me an edge.  Deb­bie, Begin­ning Trader, Longwood

Trad­ing is like fish­ing.  You teach us where and when to look for big fish.  Now I have my trad­ing plan.  I know where and when to put on my trades and the odds are in my favor.  After attend­ing your course, I know I am on the way to be a pro­fes­sional trader.  Thanks for shar­ing your great trad­ing knowledge.Eric, Trader with 3 years of trad­ing expe­ri­ence, Singapore

On a scale of 1–10 (10 = great), I rate this course 10+.  This course has orga­nized my thought process.  I was all over the board when we started.  Now I have a plan to fol­low.  I look at the back­ground of the chart and imme­di­ately draw lines like I never have before.  I also feel my lines are much more accu­rate.  Because of this, I am mak­ing bet­ter deci­sions about entries and exits.  My con­fi­dence is greatly improved.  I feel I have more con­trol over my charts and I am not guess­ing.  I find myself talk­ing to myself ask­ing who’s in control….buyers or sell­ers and why.  What is the bar telling us as it relates to pre­vi­ous bars and areas of sup­port and resis­tance.  I am able to pull the trig­ger and take the trade.  Even if the trade does not go my way, I know my entry was based off of my trad­ing plan and the per­cent­ages are in my favor.  Your pro­fes­sional approach, expla­na­tions, and exam­ples made dif­fi­cult sub­ject mat­ter much eas­ier to under­stand.  Your answers to all of our ques­tions were always very thor­ough.  It is very obvi­ous how much you want your stu­dents to excel and pros­per.  Thanks for tak­ing the time to orga­nize and share your wealth of knowl­edge.  I would absolutely rec­om­mend it highly.  Janet, Trader with 4 years of trad­ing expe­ri­ence, Texas

Your chart read­ing mas­tery course is the BEST trad­ing course I ever took and I’ve done quite a few.  Each aspect was thor­oughly explained, thor­oughly pre­sented in charts and notes. It con­tained things (many) that I’ve never seen pre­sented any­where else that help me so much in under­stand­ing where sup­ply and demand really are.  Great course.  Larry Wal­ter,  Trader with 10 years of trad­ing expe­ri­ence, Cas­tle Rock, Co.

Your chart read­ing course is the best edu­ca­tion I have ever had with regards to the stock mar­ket.  I have learned to iden­tify the trade set-ups and more impor­tantly, the rea­son for the trade. When I make a mis­take, I can now pin­point the rea­son for my mis­take and that way, avoid them in the future.  Your teach­ing was very help­ful to me —  you did not rush, you took the time to explain the method­ol­ogy and rea­sons behind the behav­ior of the chart pat­terns. Your feed­back on my home­work helped me under­stand bet­ter the things that were unclear to me. I still have a long way to go, but at least I can now read the charts and with time and prac­tice, I know I will become an excel­lent trader — thanks to you! I found myself always excited about what I learned that I looked for­ward impa­tiently to the next class.  Therese Kamm, Trader with 7 years of trad­ing expe­ri­ence, Guam
