VOLUME ANALYSIS AND TRACKING SMART MONEY
Volume is perhaps the most under-rated indicator in the markets. Volume shows the activities of the big hedge funds and proprietary desk traders, Â players we often refer to as "smart money". Good volume analysis shows critical points at which markets turn around, when activity levels are low or high or when smart money is active or inactive. In this course, we analyze various stock charts, and combine volume analysis with price action. Volume also provides a storyline to the markets. Constructing this storyline correctly is critical in terms of trade entry and exits.Â
Smart Money or Big money has always tried to (legally) manipulate  the markets to their advantage. Their goals are to conceal their activities as much as possible. But Volume is one indicator they cannot conceal. In many ways, this course levels the playing field for the average retail investor. Once you take this course, you'll know what to look for, and you'll be in a position to track smart money as they're entering a Stock or they're running for the exits. And your objective is to "follow the smart money". When you position your trades in harmony with the money flows of smart money, you're adding a whole layer of high-probability characteristics to your investing activities.
This is an exciting course !

SECTION I
In this Section, we explore why Volume is a critical indicator to study, and why this is the only indicator that clearly shows the activities of Smart Money. What can Volume analysis tell us about activity levels in the markets. Volume is sometimes referred to as the "fuel of the markets", and this is very true. This Section also defines some of the rules of "Smart Money". These rules form the basis for the games and that Smart Money play, and the tactics they deploy to manipulate the markets to their advantage.
SECTION II
This section is a deep-dive into the methodology for spotting and tracking "Smart Money" using Volume analysis. A perfect timeframe for analyzing these activities was during the period preceding the financial crisis of 2007/2008 and the period after the bottom in March 2009. And there is no better instrument to study this than the S&P 500 Index itself. This section is a fascinating and shocking analysis of how we could spot Smart Money doing the following -
- Start selling in March 2007, about 6 months before the top in October 2007
- They sold ("distributed") for about 9 months with barely a move in price
- Ran the bear market down to their liking
- Start "accumulating" stock by the end of 2008
- Finished accumulation phase over a period of 9 months
- Are running the Bull market right now to their liking
SECTION III
Detailed case studies of major stocks analyzing Smart money activity points -
1) BIDU - Smart Money is in, and they are not leaving
2) CAT - Similar to BIDU but more choppiness
3) FSLR - Gave a clear signal of smart money entry
4) NFLX, PCLN and FXE - Gave various signals for entry and exit
5) Silver Case study - Smart Money left Silver and has not come back yet.

Very basic stuff.
I have seen much much better, clearer and more comprehensive videos on a free streaming platform that starts with a you and ends with a tube. Not sure how much preparation has gone into this. There is some brief allusion to Wyckhoff method, then random stocks are shown that the author hasn`t looked at for a long time (their own words), then scrambling to find something to talk about on each chart without clear method visible. Important concepts are not clearly explained but just glossed over (e.g., no demand bar, no support bar, etc.). Save your time and money.
This course is great for introducing the concept of volume analysis. Hari is quite clear for the first few modules. He introduces two very important patterns (which I have seen in real life) and discusses there roles in volume analysis. He then goes on to examples that not only do not have the patterns but he admits that he has not looked at these stocks and that they do not really represent what he is talking about.
He then, as only he can, discusses important points that you can look at and I guess demonstrates in certain ways what the course is about. But its a stretch and I was a bit disappointed in not having him not pre-selected good examples that clearly demonstrate the accumulation and distribution phases.
Not a bad course, but could be improved. Also, the examples are from 2013. How about some updated examples (maybe 5 or 6) from 2022. A lot has been going on.

A great course to learn about price action and its relationship with volume.
Great instructor. He explains the concepts in a clear and concise manner.
Great course. He makes everything easily to understand.
Good explanation on volume movement. Insight into why this is important and how to respond
There is a lot of valuable Info that seems fundamental to understanding and using volume as a tool to follow the Smart Money.
I am a complete newbie and my only knowledge so far has been gained from You Tube, which can be good but is not always focused for long enough or detailed enough on one narrow aspect, like volume.
I still have a lot of basic questions which are probably too elementary for this course. I will enjoy going back and listening again and likely again to this course.
Clear , concise, to the point, has a few gold nuggets in there.
