One thing I always notice about EW. The trader will indie all the reasons why he's going short or long. . . .Then for a sideline they'll say that Elliot Wave theory also affirms the movement that is anticipated. LOL
I don't dismiss it whatsoever. Some traders truly swear by it. I beleive it could work for a few.
To me, it just looks like an issue of attempting to push shit up hill as soon as other techniques make it simpler.
I did an online course years back over many weeks. It just didn't work for me whatsoever. ....Again, I'm sure it satisfies some people over others.
That said. Some day I attempt it again. Since learning much more besides.
