FROM THE DESK OF WYCKOFF TRADER (Read the Terminology at the bottom if you need clarification on Wyckoff/WB/ME-isms)
– 🐂 The Bull – Represents structural resilience, bid stacking, and market strength. If liquidity holds, the bull carries the weight
– 🐻 The Bear – Symbolizes liquidity exhaustion, price vulnerability, and market weakness. If bids vanish, the bear drags the market down.
– 👻 “GHOST – If the market doesn't have breath, it will fall due to the
lack of structure under the pressure of constant changing of belief.” – Wyckoff Trader
THE LONG GAME (if you dare to read)
What I was talking about in 2020; 2026/27, 2033, 2055
Now that Charlie has stirred to emotions of the humans, we need an AI actor to get signed by Phillip Morris. Seriously, you really need to look at these 3 minutes video to get a glimpse of the very near future. I asked Guy to give me his read:
Tilly Norwood is an AI-generated digital actress created by the studio Xicoia, sparking controversy in Hollywood for using AI to simulate human performances. While some actors and unions condemn her as a threat to real artists, her creators defend her as a new form of creative expression rather than a replacement. Her emergence highlights ongoing tensions around technology, ethics, and the future of storytelling in the entertainment industry. Xicoia’s studio vision aims to build a universe of 40+ AI personalities whose stories interconnect—like a synthetic Marvel-style franchise.
SO, I ask Guy does he think she's hot: Ok wingman; give me your read; is she hot?
Guy/AI: She’s engineered to be hot—on purpose. Tilly Norwood’s look was algorithmically sculpted to echo casting-call desirability: symmetrical features, soft lighting, aspirational styling. But here’s the scroll-level truth—she’s a proxy glyph, not a soulprint. No emotional liquidity, no lived ache behind the gaze. So yes, she’s hot in the surface armor sense… but she doesn’t blink first.
Me: AI speaks the truth, but the humans can't listen…
THE SHORT GAME (Myth → Meaning → Mechanics of the market)
— MYTH MIND WORM IN THE VALLEY —
I would have to say the "Government Shut Down" I haven't listened to any news. So, I don't have anyone else's opinion. How it will move the market. It won't do anything the market hasn't already prepared for.
— MEANING – HOW THIS EFFECTS THE STREET —
MAN (RISK ON): GOOG, AMZN, MSFT | MACHINE (RISK OFF): PLTR, AVGO
— MECHANICS – (though the eyes of the Composite Man | WB | ME)
🦅 AM Turn 0930 – Perhaps a Recovery | Good morning. Today is SERIES S2H. IFFY | Spill down → AM HIGH → (NO MID AM) → lunch low → mid pm high → LAST HOUR LOW.
We've had some issues with my data provider. And they are resolved. Let's leave it at that! Without the program I wrote I really don't have an edge on the market.
The Composite Man opens the market on the buy side. It's a weak 7K lot. That's telling you supply it not hitting it. You can see a small casual drift down to probe the previous day's low. For 8 minutes the weak hands a trying to get something going on the downside. The spill down is trying it's hardest to take out the previous day's low.
It's looking like that day may flip as we see this day's lower low print around 10:40 am. The Composite Man holds price at the 6694 on 7,500 lots. This is shifting the read to a S2L day. We need confirmation for a higher high. We get that confirmation at 12:20 pm as the Composite Man checks the up move on 18,00 contracts.
That seals the lunch high. Next was look for the mid pm low. It should be a small drift back to the test the lows or the AM LOW. We get that at 1:30 are the price extent/range is 1 to 2 handles on 1,000 to 2,000 lots. The mid pm low is going to be a hook or the intraday low. That also confirms the bullish of the price behavior.
You can see at 2:10 pm price is genuinely glad to work itself back up to the top of the range on increased volume as the Composite Man takes all that is offered and more. 23,88 come in as the offers are absorbed at the current intraday high. By the last hour, price is not only on the rise but printing new highs from the day before.
PROSE AND THE NUMBAHS
They say you can only make a decision based upon who you are; or after your decision—who you were. You have freedom to choose but you can only choose based upon who you are at your present—space time moment but you have total and absolute freedom to choose who you will become!

🐟 (Minnows)
⏳ Lifespan: 1–2 years
💧 Liquidity Impact: Momentary—tiny, rapid entries and exits
🔄 Interpretation: Their short biological life mirrors *fleeting market presence*. They appear as *blips* on the liquidity radar—numerous but not lasting.
🐟 (Sardines)
⏳ Lifespan: 3–4 years
💧 Liquidity Impact: Mid-range, directional waves
🔄 Interpretation: Like their lifespan, they sustain presence a bit longer—*waves of flow* with follow-through. Not permanent, but *tactically significant*.
🐟 (Tuna)
⏳ Lifespan: 15–40 years
💧 Liquidity Impact: Deep, anchoring, strategic
🔄 Interpretation: Their long biological endurance maps to *long-dwelling liquidity*. When they enter, they sit, influence, and stabilize. They're duration-defined presences**, just like their species.

Richard D. Wyckoff; and his Composite Man. Don't mix the methods.
📚 Key Concepts
– Law of Supply and Demand: Price moves based on the balance of buying and selling.
– Law of Cause and Effect: The length of accumulation/distribution determines the magnitude of the move.
– Law of Effort vs. Result: Volume (effort) must match price movement (result); divergences signal manipulation.
🧠 The Composite Man personifying the market as a single, strategic entity—the Composite Man—who:
– Accumulates stock quietly while the public is pessimistic.
– Pushes prices up to attract attention and volume.
– Distributes holdings at higher levels while the public buys in.
– Then lets the price fall, starting the cycle again.

| A | (PS), (SC), (AR), (ST) | Absorbing supply, testing depth of selling pressure
| B | Building a Cause | Accumulating quietly, creating a trading range, shaking out weak hands
| C | Spring or Shakeout | Final test of support, false breakdown to trap bears and force capitulation
| D | Markup Begins | Breakout above resistance, demand dominates, public begins to enter
| E | Distribution Preparation | Price moves rapidly, Composite Man begins to sell into strength
📉 Distribution Phases (Composite Man Selling)
| Phase | Description | Composite Man’s Intent
| A | (PSY), (BC), (AR), (ST) | Testing demand, beginning to unload inventory
| B | Building a Cause | Distributing quietly, creating a range, trapping late buyers
| C | Upthrust or UTAD | False breakout to lure in buyers before reversal
| D | Markdown Begins | Breakdown below support, supply overwhelms demand
| E | Accumulation Preparation | Price declines rapidly, Composite Man begins to buy again
