why people say Elliot is hard to learn?

elliot wave theory is bullshit. by the time you found the wave, the move is already over. lol

some theories are not just for everyone to understand. i've struggled alot to understand it, but eventualy I came to conclusion, that elliot is not for me

totally agree with you, I also found this theory bizzare and useless. Ichimoku will be easier to understand and more usefull imho.

You will find critics of the Elliot waves almost on every forum that deals with Forex. The main complaint of EWA is a number of options in this analysis. Well, those who say so – they are right. Wave analysis is quite psychological. But this does not mean that you can't trade using Eliot waves. When I mark EUR/USD, I often choose from 3 to 5 options of the price movement – those are just the main scenarios, there could be many of additional ones. What you have to do is to choose several main options, but it comes only with experience.
I think that if you treat trading seriously, then you have to deal with the wave analysis. As this is the only one, that allows to monitor all market movements according to certain rules, and also understand prospectives of trends. There is no other system similar to this, it's unique.
Well of course if trading is just your hobby and you only have a little time for it after your work, then wave analysis is not an option at all. But if you take it serious, you need a systematic approach.

You can criticize any trading method, if there is an ideal money-making strategy, then we wouldn't be discussing all of these on forums Your profitability mainly depends not on your method, but on how good you are in this method.

I agree.

Because similar to chart patterns and price action trading, it is not mathematical. Indicators are math based and either indicate or they don't. Elliot waves are based on interpretation. Most will struggle with that. 10 different people could probably see wave 1 in 10 different places while looking at the same chart. Pick a study and just master it. Doesn't matter what it is as long as it works and you learn it well, you can make money with it.

There may be thousands of applications of Elliot waves to the chart... better to keep your mind free of cr@p and try the famous strategy of "random trades"
Good luck
