I used IBD around 2006-2009 and made a few good trades but not much. Tried getting back to it in 2021 but left it out of frustration. Read in a book that IBD does not practice what they preach but actually uses the Wyckoff method. That is where I heard about the Wyckoff method for the first time. Started reading about Livermore, Darvas and Wyckoff.  Found [a Wyckoff related service] and spent a lot of money but could not make it work. Tape reading resonated with me but [this service] did not teach that.
Back to research and found [a Wyckoff training service]. Spent a lot of money on courses and learned a lot about trading ranges and tape reading but could not apply it and make mone
Back to research and found Dr. Gary Dayton's work. Decided to spend more money. But for the first time I can tape read and apply Wyckoff. Money well spent.

This is the trading school I have been looking for where traders can actually learn how to trade.  It’s like when you go to any other school, outside of trading, with a good teacher where you learn exactly how to do things in a clear, concise and complete manner, where you afterwards know exactly what to practice on.  When you practice you know that you get better.

I have never seen Wyckoff 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.

Now that nearly every trader has access to the same charts, software … the real edge separating wealthy traders from failed ones is their mental approach to the markets.  Trade Mindfully gives today’s trader the tools they need to reach their peak earning potential by showing them how to maximize their profits through psychology.  The way a trader ‘think’ about their trading and the markets has never been more important, and Dr. Dayton provides a step-by-step method for mastering the last true ‘edge’ traders have for making money in the markets.

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.
