Okay that's fine and all. I won't disagree with any of the 5-3 is most efficient stuff. Mainly cause I'm not an engineer. But let me ask you this then... how do you differentiate between 5-3 and 5.35-3.53?

Or how about 5.3535-3.5353?

It goes on and on. So how do you know which wave you are on? Where does it end? Where does the next one start? And back to which wave is now starting? The more I think about it, the more I believe that EWP is just a humans way of trying to make sense of something too great to put in order for the human mind.

...
Actually, what you've said makes perfect sense. There was research conducted on EWP and professional chart analysts. When given market data and random data charts, they could guess correctly which one was which at 50 per cent ratio - which is normal for random guesses. As far as EWP goes - it really is subjective. to spot a trend, one does not need to know EWP. Furthermore, the numbering system - three waves up and two corrective waves - it doesn't always happen. The only thing about EWP in the market is that so many institutions/people use it, that it can and often does become a self-fulfilled prophecy, but even that doesn't always happen.

One thing I have thought of is if each participant in the markets. ie: central bank, interbanks, importers and exporters..., could be represented as a plant specie. Not all leaves will grow a phi amount away from each other, like mentioned in the video from the previous page, some grow directly across the stem at once at 90 degree angles. Identifying the type of plant and it's growth patterns may be possible to transfer the idea to the markets.

Also, you have to think of it as an ecosystem, as well, where the fittest eat the weakest. Lions go hungry...
I think you've said as much - bots - markets these days are mostly controlled by bots - bots owned by the central banks/corporations/hedge funds/etc. http://www.lrb.co.uk/v33/n10/donald-mackenzie/how-to-make-money-in-microseconds

Hello,

Found the conversation about Elliot Wave interesting and thought I might add to it. Usually use EW as a guide for overall direction of a currency pair and feel it's beneficial to understand in addition to price action. For example, an impulse wave in a 5 wave structure vs. a corrective 3 wave pattern. This is helpful to determine market direction. Also feel that actual price action gives a better indication because the markets are showing you the correct direction. By combining them with other technical analysis I think effectively leads to more successful trade set ups.

Good luck,
Caleb L.

Aye - as I've mentioned before - it truly has become a self-fulfilled prophecy. At the same time, as I've previously mentioned, one does not need to know ewp in order to understand trends and how they operate. In ewp, each rising wave is bigger in size than the retraction - that's the same for normal trend theory. I think candle formations for weekly/monthly/daily charts are just as useful - and trend lines are very effective as well.

EWP is essentially a fancy name for a trend theory - though it has several interesting rules about wave and fibonacci numbers.
In the end, one does not need to know EWP to be a great trader - IMO.

Anyway, this week was an interesting one. We saw major signs of reversals in the jpy pairs. USDGBP played a major hand today, breaching the multi-year triangle and then making a strong comeback - as I've mentioned earlier, when looking at the long term chart formations, one requires a long term chart candle to close below a certain level in order for the signal to be validated - that hasn't happened with gbp, thus I suspect it may move higher still prior to reversal and eventual breach of the triangle. When that move down occurs - well, I expect GBP to fall hard and very fast.

Aud made yet another move lower this week - a fairly big move. I suspect that aud will continue to move lower in the coming weeks.
Likewise, I expect jpy pairs to make a significant move lower next week.

So many waves and waves after more waves. How does one interpret? We've been range trading for a long long time building up more and more energy for a move that very well could be a massive one.

We've been stuck in a large trading range set for us back in 07/2011 - 10/2011. I count 14 waves since then (high) and now we're on wave 15 down. I bet there's a million differing interpretations of EWP on this but in a non trending market the waves are meaningless in my opinion. I think wave counts are more relevant in a trending market. We may very...
I will be the only one to try this.....I see no one dare attempt this first.... They would all look to be correction waves and no motive waves.....So ranging would be the correct answer......

I only see 2 waves in the weekly, the S stands for start of EWC, 1 ,2 and then start over.

Ok on a serious note... I do think Elliot's principle is noteworthy and it's discovery is great. I just think it only makes sense in hindsight. When studying historical price on a chart it looks magnificent. You can see where to put all the big numbers and little letters. Now try doing it into the future. Different story.
I use the EWP to look into the uncharted waters to the right side of current charts. Labeling the past waves is to establish the reference points for the next moves.

That is the ultimate goal, isn't it my friend? That is the whole point of EWP. To predict the future moves.

It has been so bearish in this forum. I see the Aussie's next medium term moves the other way. Current chart indicates a turn around is imminent.

I prefer to use projection instead of prediction. IMO prediction is a fortune teller's job. I don't have a crystal ball to do so.
