Like me, catnip. *g* Ok, my buying has zero effect but anyway... I guess the Real is just too strong so they see the need of weakening it?

Yes Said, any elliottician will have some invalidated counts and if they say otherwise they are lieing. I am completely happy with my EWA methodology and regard myself a master elliottician. I rate myself somewhat better than Precher and somewhat better than Miner :-) Don't know why we are discussing it here, perhaps I should never have mentioned it as EWA is like a red rag to a bull to many who have been unable to master.

i do it only on EW and few indicators
temporality and time frame are the mosst important ^part in EW. if not integrated in your counting then it is useless and u will have a lot of invalidated scenari.

Must admit SB, beginning to wonder why either of us are here. As you deliver your sermon to catnip it emphasises the trouble I am having with following Ashraf on all the correlations. And after all that all we really need is our charts which tell us all we need to know. Trying to grasp all that Ashraf is teaching is not coming easy to me when all I was seeking in the first place was a little deeper understanding of short term eco stat news releases. I think I pretty much understand most the implications now :-)

SB, main trouble with EWA is its generally taught very badly. I had a 3 year break from it back in about 2000 and when I came back to it I started using it objectively. ALWAYS look for 3 alternate counts. Never get married to your preferred count and use fibs and symmetry correctly.

I have taught EW in RT trading rooms but not many students can grasp the concept to their benefit and I really don't think we should start discussing the subject here in any great depth. If Ash wants to give an an RT room with audio I could handle it.

I tend to direct newbs to learning sym and fibs first plus classical chart analysis. The EW is the icing on the cake if you can get it about right and have the right attitude. Nothing you fire at me will not be catered for in one of my 3 alternate counts and then if you want we can look at weekly and monthly for the larger perspective.

What really matters is that many of my "levels" play incredibly well regardless of whether I have managed to read the EW count correctly. Current GU position good example and the EG high on Sunday opening another recent example. Symmetry plays well most of the time in all markets. The EW simple ABC corrective is THE most profitable trigger I have ever come across. Bastardised as "zig zag" or "two step" or "butterfly" or whatever but RN. Elliott's work gurus like to make their own and rename.

If you think I am too much into EW you must come visit my rig. MP also plays a large role and I intergrate various things to form clusters of support and resistance. What works for me will not work for you and vice versa !

DaveO...

only one comment i can make is... you're too much into EW... with the percentage and projections and how many waves... etc....
try to think out of the box... like i said... from the bottom(42xx).. current wave didn't end yet... it would still be a continuation if it moved higher... i used to be an EWaiver but i threw them away... eversince i'm a much better trader... fyi

i'm not saying EW is useless... but only serves as mere guide for ultralong timeframes(at lest for me)...
most EWaivers get confused because of trying to count every detail on shorter time frames...

anyway... if it works for you.. that's good... every trader has their own methods and set of tools for trading... there is actually no perfectly right/wrong way of trading...

Your 50% assumption should not be set in stone.
