It's been a while, but I believe that EW are rooted in Fibonacci?The problem with EW is that it isn't based on any fundamental scientific or engineering principles, just the observation that prices seem to behave like waves.
If you think prices have wave and cycle like behavior, then you should apply digital signals processing (DSP) methods. At least DSP is solidly rooted in science and engineering. Of course the argument against DSP is that anything from the world of physics applied to financial markets is a misapplication of the physics. That is a philosophical argument you must decide on for yourselves.
This post makes sense, advise a noob to study EW so you can rob them, I must try it.So much bashing in this thread.
Are you guys trying to protect something ?
I'd rather advise a newbie to study EW than any other indicator.
Disclaimer: I am not an Elliott Wave practitioner nor do I ever studied it.
so with over 200 futures trades sites and over 40 rooms claiming to trade EW, there is not a single trade record or performance result. I give that an F.The classification of a wave at any particular degree can vary, though practitioners generally agree on the standard order of degrees (approximate durations given):
Are the markets entering a new cycle or supercycle?
- Grand supercycle: multi-century
- Supercycle: multi-decade (about 40–70 years)
- Cycle: one year to several years (or even several decades under an Elliott Extension)
- Primary: a few months to a couple of years
- Intermediate: weeks to months
- Minor: weeks
- Minute: days
- Minuette: hours
- Subminuette: minutes
