Recipient of the Technical Analysis Association's Award of Excellence
When I first opened this book, I had already read numerous books on Technical Analysis, including candlesticks, momentum oscillators, volume indicators and basic chart patterns. It became obvious to me that the Elliott Wave Principle lies at the heart of why certain chart patterns work only a certain percentage of the time; for what one is seeing in chart patterns is the formation of robust fractals, or Elliott Waves. Chart patterns are the blunt tool and Elliott Waves, the knife - at least in a probabalistic sense, as no method provides perfect accuracy.
This book is not for the mentally lazy, which included me when I first started reading it. In fact, it took me several months just to get through it, understand it and then apply it in real time chart reading. I still keep going back to it as a reference. However, if you have an obsessive desire to understand the financial markets, you will make it through the book and be rewarded with a perspective that VERY few have on the financial markets and, therefore, the psychology of crowds.
I would suggest The Wave Principle of Human Social Behaviour (also by Prechter) before reading the highly technical Elliott Wave Principle. Your want to learn the details of the Elliott Wave Principle will then be fully primed.
Read this book with an open mind and investigate the suggested patterns and you will be amazed what you see.
I remember looking at a 4 year chart of the sp500 after reading this book and trying to observe the "3s" and "5s" and was shocked to see them staring back at me.
It is hard going at first - especially the first couple of chapters, but take it slow and it will soon sink in - you won't regret that you spent the time to learn Elliot Wave Theory
This book is the easiest to read, most direct and to the point book that is solely on Elliott Wave. It tells all the possible moves, how they happen, and why. The book also goes into the very necessary explanation of Fibonacci and time relationships with regard to price. Many gold nuggets of information contained within this book; it is the most simple, complete Elliott Wave book you can get.
But the biggest problem is...most people just don't "get it"... Elliott Wave and Elliott's findings are SO MUCH MORE than the financial markets. The fundamental discoveries that govern the Wave Principle and thus the behavior of the financial markets are the very same fundamental forces at work throughout the entire universe. When you have a deep understanding of the Wave Principle, Socionomics, and science in general, you can begin to see how everything around us all ties together to form this awesome grand scheme of life and existance. A deep understanding of Elliott Wave and Fibonacci is the key to opening a whole new world of knowledge, application, and the birth of a new science.
After reading this book I've decided to study Elliot Waves very carefully. While the book is fairly short the job of constructing degrees and understanding the rules/guidelines will take time to master. The reason I feel it's worth the time is that only Elliot Wave provided a structured way to understand short and long term cycles. The stacking and governance by degree provide meaningful insight into predicting future price movement.
