Richard Wyckoff

Richard Demille Wyckoff (November 2, 1873 – March 7, 1934) was an American stock market investor and the founder of the Magazine of Wall Street and Stock Market Technique.

Richard Wyckoff was the son of Walter Wychoff.

Walter was a financial media publisher and financier, the same industry Richard would enter during his career.

Walter contracted architect Chester A. Patterson and landscape designer Clarence Fowler to build a 7600 square foot mansion on a 10-acre estate, dubbed “Twin Lindens”, next to Alfred P. Sloan’s home in a wealthy part of New York (Kings Point, Great Neck).

Richard later inherited this property (also called the “Wyckoff Estate”) from his father.

Wyckoff founded The Magazine of Wall Street in 1907 and edited the Stock Market Technique. In 1928, Wyckoff lost control of The Magazine of Wall Street to his second wife, Cecelia Shear, receiving $500,000 in bonds after a publicized dispute.

Richard Wyckoff’s contributed to technical analysis of the financial markets; particularly via his "Wyckoff method".

Wyckoff educated the public about trading and its pitfalls, publishing exposés such as “Bucket Shops and How to Avoid Them”, which were run in New York's The Saturday Evening Post starting in 1922.
