Doubts, misunderstandings and a few tips… Elliott Wave is too subjective
Analysts show too many alternative scenarios, or flip views aggressively
Only good in hindsight – NOT if used properly
DON’T try to be clever, manufacturing wave counts
DON’T break the rules
Be very careful and wary of micro intra-day wave counting
Be very careful if you are just looking at one market in isolation
Not sure if a 5 wave move is complete, try counting it backwards
Remember technical analysis is a tool for making money in the markets

The 3 Main Rules of Elliott Wave
Wave 2 CANNOT retrace past the wave 1 low or high.
Wave 3 is NEVER be the shortest (except in a diagonal)
Wave 4 NEVER overlaps the top of wave 1

Trading with Elliott Wave
Initial 5 wave rally ideally breaks the sequence of lower highs
First buy opportunity occurs with a pullback developing a higher low
Reduce positions as wave 3 completes
4th wave typically retraces around 38% of wave 3 - provides 3rd buying opportunity
Exit longs and maybe look to initiate shorts
Depending on how wave A develops determines where wave B fails
Wave C targets at least the previous 4th wave lows, which is often between 38% and 50% of the 5 wave moveAggressively add/go long1

Markets are always changing…..Markets are always the same
“The world has changed and has always been changing. One of the things I write about in my books is, no matter what you think is true today, it’s not going to be the case in 15 years. You pick any time in history, 1900, 1915 and look at what everybody thought was the way the world is. Fifteen years later enormous changes had taken place all over the world in society, in politics, in wars, economics, everything.”
Jim Rogers

An analogy of Elliott Wave:
You can learn the right notes to play a piece of music on the piano, but only a few can play it well enough for people to pay to hear.
There is a rhythm and a harmony a proportion and balance in the movement of the markets and some people are just “wave deaf”, or can at least be “wave handicapped”.
