Learn from the book
Six selected lessons from Wajdi Mansour’s books: core concepts, numerical cases, original diagrams and exercises. A focused synthesis, not a reproduction of every chapter.
Downloads →Balance, imbalance and acceptance
The book frames the market as a continuous auction. This lesson distinguishes rotation around value from an attempt to establish new prices before looking for an entry.
Map the market with POC, VAH and VAL
A profile groups volume by price. It maps activity when its period is clearly defined and its levels are not treated as guaranteed support or resistance.
Return to value or accepted breakout?
Two situations can look similar on the first move beyond VAH. Rejection takes price back into value; acceptance builds activity outside. The book separates these scenarios and their invalidation.
Read Footprint without confusing volume with direction
A candle shows open, high, low and close. Footprint adds volume classified at Bid and Ask at each price. It describes execution, not participant identity or certain intentions.
High effort, limited price movement
Absorption is a hypothesis: passive orders may meet strong initiative without allowing price to advance. The book studies it at a prepared level and waits for a price response.
From planned risk to an execution journal
The book connects capital management, psychology and preparation. The goal here is to translate an idea into planned downside and separate plan quality from luck in one outcome.
