I have a very particular way of learning and I quite like the approach. Maybe a bit full on for some.

I create files on my computer for any topic and make notes. So under trading I've got a specific folder called VSA and under that I have word documents about specific components of it. So for example I might read about "upthrusts" or "shakeouts" for the first time. I create a Word document for each and title it. As I read more on the topic that stands out to me, I update these files. By the time I've read through a stack of material I have a summary of notes for each little aspect which is much easier to refer back to specifically than by finding what I want among the vast array of materials in the books.

My method of progression.

1) I like the idea of starting with "Master the Markets" it's not too heavy, a good introduction. That will change the way of thinking about the markets.

2) By this stage I have a lot of notes typed out. I'll have a read over my notes to refresh the key points.

3) I love "The Richard D. Wyckoff Method of Trading and Investing in Stock". This is my primary educational tool on the topic.

I would recommend reading through this twice.

THEN I would focus most of my efforts on Section 7 of this course which is the practical application on a hypothetical chart example.

I 'd recommend reading over Section 7 once a month or every two months until you have a really good understanding.

Then I'd refer to it less frequently. I still go back over it now and have a read.

4) If you'd continued to write up those notes you will now have notes covering pretty much every aspect of the study and you can refer back to these in a less time consuming way.

Just my way of doing it. I am very detail focused!
