Trade What You See, Not What You Think
Opinions and news are noise. Price action is the only truth. Sperandeo ruthlessly emphasizes that fundamentals and forecasts are secondary to actual market behavior. Trader Vic: Methods of a Wall Street Master

He entered long. The market ticked up, then hesitated. The "noise" tried to shake him out. In the past, Elias would have closed the position in fear. But he remembered Sperandeo’s golden rule: Let your winners run, but cut your losers instantly. The Averages Discount Everything: Price is the ultimate

The Sperandeo Twist: Vic does not use Dow Theory in a vague, interpretive way. He uses specific buy and sell signals based on breaking prior secondary reaction highs or lows. He eliminates opinion by defining exactly what a "secondary reaction" is (typically a move of at least 10% lasting at least three weeks).

The Six Tenets of Dow Theory (As Applied by Vic)

  1. The Averages Discount Everything: Price is the ultimate reality. All hopes, fears, and known fundamentals are already baked into the price of the averages (Industrials and Transports).
  2. Three Trends in One: In any market, there are three trends simultaneously active—Primary (years), Secondary (weeks to months), and Minor (days). Most traders lose money because they confuse a minor reaction for a primary reversal.
  3. Phases of Primary Trends: A bull market has three phases (accumulation, public participation, excess). A bear market has three phases (distribution, panic, despair).
  4. Averages Must Confirm: A true trend change cannot occur unless the Dow Industrials and Dow Transports move to new highs or lows together. If the Industrials make a new high but the Transports lag, the trend is suspect.
  5. Volume Confirms: Volume should expand in the direction of the primary trend. In a bull market, volume rises on rallies and falls on declines.
  6. Trend Persists Until Reversal is Clear: This is Sperandeo’s golden rule. Do not assume a reversal just because the market is "too high" or "too low." You wait for a signal.
