This guide provides practical guidance on how to use Elliott wave theory to find, assess, enter, and manage trades by raising or lowering protective stops. It also covers exiting trades. It offers a realistic look at how the reader can become a better Elliottician and a more consistently successful trader. Divided into three parts, it opens with an introduction to the anatomy of Elliott wave trading. Part 2 provides practical examples step-by-step through the authors’ thinking during trades they made, and setups you may encounter in your own trading. Part 3 rounds out the discussion by going beyond the basics to address how you can apply other indicators to your trading and how to use wave analysis and option strategies.

Which is more profitable: to go long or to go short? Do short-term/daytraders make more money than long-term traders? What are the most common mistakes made by losing clients?
