Derrick,
Welcome to Mu's thread.
I think you've got to do some reading to find the answer to your question. An interesting introduction to EW can be found at the below link :

Quote from Mup:
Hi derrick
"Brief" and "Elliott Wave " are not two words that go together easily... Its probably best for a weekend discussion while enjoying a Guinness or Mount Gay Special Reserve with a Cohiba Siglo VI
In the mean time
ed's link is a good place to start...
Also, dare I say, EWI has some useful stuff on their site :eek:

On how Elliott Wave helps, I don;t know any other method that gave us a hint of this weeks price action, last week...
For bread and butter everyday trading, elo hits the nail on the head with ALT's & Measured Moves ...![]()

Derrick,
Here is a concise one page lesson about
Elliott Wave Theory
by Investopedia Staff, (Investopedia.com) (Contact Author | Biography)
http://www.investopedia.com/articles/technical/111401.asp
Here is one sentence EWP;
"The Market moves UP and DOWN as somewhat equal waves, 5 waves in the direction of the trend, UP or DOWN, short or long term, and 3 waves counter trend, with numerous variations."
If you make the count right you can predict the likelihood of the change in trend, i.e., the high and low of the move, and together with risk management earn a few bugs.
The best part is you don't have to have a PhD. If you can count 1 to 5 and write a,b,c,d,e you can enjoy EW.
Mu.
Quote from ed
The last ALT for the SPX 10min chart yesterday was about :
820.52 - 776.76 = 43.76
So, this upmove in the SPX today has to clear :
741.43 + 43.76 = 785.19
before it starts to turn bullish?
Mup, is this correct?
Sorry realtime charts haywire...
