Def: how about options? Can that rule apply to options trading?

Any elliot wave theorists here? I wonder if you can recommend a book to me. I remember a guy in "Market Wizards" mentioned two books, but I cannot locate those books on Amazon.com. Do you have any ideas about the good books you think? Thank you.
