This law is the foundation stone of all Wycoffian theory, and is summed up as the law of effort and result. Put simply, the effort that is put in should result in a result which is agreement with this effort. In the world of volume price analysis this equates to volume and price which is either in agreement or is in disagreement. From this and an analysis of the candle and its associated volume we can then draw conclusions as to whether this is market maker buying or selling, and so anticipate future market direction.
