Friday is 45 days before the end of the quarter. Significant, because it is the last day that a hedge-fund investor can make a request to redeem shares in a Fund.
First leg down in the SPY from the intra-day high was 2.17

I have a phone call into a mentor of mine back East that is a sales/marketing guy for one of the largest quant funds in the country for more info on this topic.
Derrick and those newbies who would like to learn EW,

This is how EW helps with trading:
At 11-11-08 01:09 EST, there was a warning that the Market was forming a descending wedge or Ending Diagonal Triangle and we were expecting the fifth subwave :v of the fifth subwave .v of the third wave iii which might end at the measured move.
At 11-11-08 01:42 EST, there was a 'trendling break' buy signal.
At 11-11-08 02:33 EST, the fifth subwave :v of subwave .ã of wave iv touch the top of wave i and there was a sell signal 3 minutes later.
If you acted on this you might have earned a few bugs .

Next DOWN wave will be the fifth subwave of fifth subwave of the third wave at measured move .
Note EDlike structure .
There should be a small rebound UP soon, followed by another big DOWN wave :eek: .
Elliott Wave Purist may buy at the end of Wave 3)4.d:ciii.v:vV using the smallest measured move,i.e., Wave V = Wave III. This is a Diagonal Triangle Type II, 5-3-5-3-5 pattern.
Any may sell at the end of Wave 3)4.d:civ.ã:v when Wave :v failed to reach the measured move to wave :iii .
Next should be extended Wave 3)4.d:cv DOWN .
This may be astonishing ,
but donât expect the Market to reveal every move in advance.
