Scientology for traders
Fascinating stuff here.
It looks just like classical technical analysis (channeling, volume leading price, breakout retracements, higher lows, etc.)
Complicated language for the same old edge (which still works).
Funny thing about tech analysis is most people gravitate to price patterns, rather than the backbone of the strategy, which is just trend reversal signals.
Going further, elliot wave principle is pretty much hated by 90% or traders, yet is brutally accurate in
the right situations. It took me a year of study just to understand the compound nature of the waves. It took another six months of mistakes to understand that certain situations are very, very uncertain, when it is not possible to solve for a wave count.
I'll probably get my nutz kicked for posting this.
Prechter did win a trading championship back in the day, using Elliot Wave.
To win in the market, you have to go where no one is. Stay in phase with the market and out of sync with the suckerz.
