Hello,

I'm absolutely new to trading (3 weeks of paper trading), but I've been trying to learn as much as possible.

I've chosen to try and day trade the E-mini S&P 500 Futures. I'm reading about Volume Spread Analysis and Wyckoff's Accumulation and Distribution.

Does Wyckoff's explanation of the markets apply to the ES, knowing that there isn't a limited number of "shares" of contracts? I mean, anyone with funds can create/sell a new contract.

The VSA method seems to be working, but I sometimes feel that I'm getting lucky with my analysis.

Thanks,
Brian
