Master the Wyckoff Accumulation Strategy to transform your trading from reactive to proactive. This comprehensive guide explains how institutional participants, represented as the "Composite Man," systematically accumulate positions during downtrends through six distinct phases: Preliminary Support, Selling Climax, Automatic Rally, Secondary Test, Spring, and Last Point of Support. Complemented by the distribution cycle that mirrors accumulation, the Wyckoff Method integrates three fundamental laws—Supply and Demand, Cause and Effect, and Effort vs. Result—to reveal market structure. Learn Richard Wyckoff's five-step trading process, recognize key volume and price action signals across Gate's markets, and develop practical strategies to align your positions with smart money movements, enabling you to buy low when others capitulate and exit before major reversals.
