Mastering Elliott Wave Principle

An innovative approach to applying Elliott Wave Principle

By convention, most Elliott Wave Principle (EWP) practitioners
focus on individual market price movement. Connie Brown has a
global reputation of developing analysis that focuses on the
integration of global markets. In a two book series you will be
taken through the steps to master the global cash flows of
today's financial markets. The approach found in this first
book differs from the traditional view of EWP because it shows you
how geometry and the use of simple boxes drawn within a trend will
guide you away from the common complaint of subjectivity, thereby
making smarter trades of higher probability. While EWP can be a
challenging topic, the structure of this book eases you into the
analysis principles.

With Mastering Elliott Wave Principle you are guided
step-by-step through the learning phases of Elliott Wave analysis
and then your understanding is further challenged through
self-examination. The preliminary coaching unravels common
misunderstandings that sabotage the beginner. You will discover how
price swings and waves are not the same. Elements of balance and
proportion are mathematical concepts taught through geometry and
not subjective. These basic skills establish a foundation that
allow beginners to understand what to expect from their level
of skill. There are three distinct levels of skill that all masters
of the EWP have learned. Now there is a series to guide your
understanding at each skill level so you can develop a working
knowledge of how to define market positions around the world in
short or long term time horizons. Bring your biases, bring your
past concerns and discover how this breakthrough and original
approach to teaching the Wave Principle can help you.

• Traders, from beginners to advanced, can use this book to
  become proficient in the Elliott Wave Principle

• Contains practice charts to compare your understanding and
  skill level with follow-up discussions of how you may have differed
  based on the results from twenty years of coaching
