Using Elliott Wave For a Trade Setup


Last Friday there was a discussion in the CiL on the validity of EW's use for trading. Below I have posted an excerpt of a discussion (primarily my response and suggestion on how to use a current setup for a trade).

During that Friday, I noticed what I believed to be (at the time) a Leading Expanding Diagonal. Those who read my blog know that I posted on this pattern. It turned this was not the case, however, what EW provided was a case for a new impulse wave down or potentially a wave iv down.

This provided a clear setup for either the bull or bear camp. Below at 18:07 I provide an example on how to setup the trade.

It is clear, if you took a bearish stance and trade, it work out alright as of this morning (chart above)

will be curious to see if the Leading Expanding Diagonal applies here.

typically tanger it would be.

with EW it can be a wave 1 (down or up). but that is all relative to the count.

so in this particular case, it may be a wave 1 down if u take everything else into consideration (61.8% fib retrace, count the waves complete, hitting the 50 dma and etc. )

it will be very easy to determine what it is come monday whether this is a wave iv of wave i.

break below 1106 and i will call it a wave 1.

break above 1112 and it will be a wave 4.

so here would be a good example of a trade setup. if ur bullish, u could have gone long here and stopped at 1106.

if you were bearish, short and stop at 1112.
