Learning T/A

I'd jumped into Elliott a little bit (got all the books and tapes) and like many of their concepts but I agree with you in keeping things simple and practical. Thanks. :)
 
First you get the skill then things get simpler. Could be a natural progression and it probably doesn't go the other way. After a while, making money pretty much comes down to monitoring P, V and executing. Doing wave counts and other stuff just get in the way. That's the place I've come to anyway. But I never know, I could one day stumble across the secret to the universe. Just kidding.

I should emphasize executing, executing, executing.

... There is no lack of people out there who are ready, willing and able to teach you the tired, generic stuff that everyone already knows and that you can pick up from reading just a few of the thousands of books out there. But the "good stuff" you will have to figure out for yourself. I think that paid seminars and courses are just an expensive way of proving that point.

I am a confirmed member of the roll-your-own school of TA. :cool:

Hey guy's

For the last while i have been getting into T/A more and more, but i feel i have some what of a threshold getting to the next step on T/A.

For all you guy/s who know a HELL of a lot about T/A, what do you suggest i do? Any really good books, courses out there?

How did you all get so good at T/A?

I think there are only a few basic things you need to know. Once you have those down the other stuff just gives you too many options and conflicts with the other things you are looking at. Keep it simple.

Elder's "Trading for a Living" has a companion workbook. I found both to be very helpful.

Interesting thread. Interesting comments.

I personally believe the way to develop one's ability to view the market through t/a is to learn as much as you can about everything you can, then begin the process of eliminating that which does not seem to fit. For me, that process eliminated just about everything except for macro vs micro trends from my basic view, but every now and then one of those other elements dramatically JUMPS OUT fairly clearly. Then I use that one for that time.

Fwiw.

Peace and gtty,
