Using Fibonacci Symmetry To Layout Your Trading Battleplan

Are you under the assumption that if a trading plan is not an A+B=C, formulaic approach then it's useless? Join me in this 6-minute video as I explore a subjective approach to the markets used by some of the greatest living traders. I'll show you that interpreting data and making the best possible decision is your primary goal in trading.

Here's my advice: View the Elliott Wave Principle as your road map to the market -- and your investment idea as a trip.

You start the trip with a specific plan in mind, but conditions along the way may force you to alter course. As I mentioned earlier, alternate Elliott wave counts are simply side roads that sometimes end up being the best path.

Elliott's highly specific rules keep the number of valid wave-pattern interpretations to a minimum. Usually, you would consider the "preferred count" to be the one that satisfies all three of Elliott's rules and the largest number of guidelines. Your top "alternate" is the one that satisfies the next largest number of guidelines, and so on.
