Studies in Tape Reading: Compiled From the Original Magazine Articles

Unable to convince anyone to write a detailed article about tape reading for his magazine, The Ticker, Richard D. Wyckoff decided to write about it himself and reason it out as he went along. The resulting twelve articles were published in 1908 and 1909, and reprinted in book form in 1910.

This book was compiled from those magazine articles and incorporates a few revisions from the 1910 first edition of the book, as well as more than two dozen additional articles from the Ticker examining tape reading and market dynamics.

Some of the topics covered by these articles include:

• Analysis of a trader's account, running expenses, and the invisible eighth
• How stock exchange transactions were reported
• Rollo Tape's four Market Lectures
• Vignettes of James R. Keene and Jesse Livermore
• Selected questions and answers about tape reading from the Ticker's Inquiry Column
• Wyckoff's 1912 Finance Forum address on tape reading
