Todd W. Butterfield President | Chief Strategist Wyckoff Stock Market Institute

In 1982, Mr. Butterfield graduated from the Wyckoff Stock Market Institute and was anxious to put his knowledge to the test. Mr. Butterfield decided to enter the U.S. Investment Championship’s real money competitions to prove that he was able to compete. The first one he entered he placed 12th in the nation, and every competition he entered over the years has been listed below. Mr. Butterfield began his professional career in 1984, as a Professional Stock, Option, and Commodity Trader with Rialcor Shatkin, Chicago, Illinois. In 1990, he registered as a Commodity Trading Advisor with a very successful 4 year track record. In 1991, he became a Financial Consultant for Smith Barney, Quincy, Illinois. At the beginning of 1997, Mr. Butterfield founded Butterfield Capital Advisors/Butterfield Futures. As a Registered Investment Advisor, he could offer fee-based investment advice to his clients, and as an IB he could offer futures brokerage services. In 2011, he formed The BlackBay Group, which encompasses BlackBay Capital Advisors (RIA). In 2016, took over the Wyckoff Stock Market Institute, and relaunched WyckoffSMI.com.

HOW TO APPLY THE 5 STEP "WYCKOFF METHOD"

STEP 1

STEP 1

In the Wyckoff Course, Wyckoff teaches that the most important thing anyone can know about a market or an individual stock is its trend and the position that it occupies in the trend.  The trend is the line of least resistance.  It indicates the direction in which price wants to move.

STEP 2

STEP 2

Step two of the Wyckoff Method is very simple, but yet so very important in achieving consistent success in the market. 

Wyckoff teaches us to always trade stocks that are in harmony with the market.  Trading in harmony with the market means taking long positions when the market as measured by the Wyckoff Wave is in a defined up trend channel.  It means taking short positions when the market is in a defined down trend channel.

STEP 3

Step three of the Wyckoff method is intended to help traders avoid marginal trades. Wyckoff teaches us to select only those issues that have built a cause. A cause can be defined in more than one way.   

In step three, Wyckoff is referring to the use of a figure chart to get an indication as to how far from its current level, the price of an issue is likely to move. This indication is derived by taking a count on a figure chart.

STEP 4

In step four of the Wyckoff Method, Wyckoff tells us to determine a stocks readiness to move. Taking a position in an issue that has not or has not nearly completed it preparation for its next move is wasteful and dangerous.  It is wasteful in that funds committed to a position that is not making progress in the intended direction could be better used in a position that begins to move in the desired direction quickly.

STEP 5

The final step of the Wyckoff method is the one that actually results in a position being established. Wyckoff tells us to time trades in individual issues to anticipated trends in the general market. While it is true that there are always individual issues that make substantial moves in the opposite direction of the general market, most move with the market to some degree.
