Yes Crap. And Pathetic the way these wave counts go back and
forth adapting themselves to the graphical structure AFTER it is
built.
As for Fibo retracements it has been proved prices do not know
of their existence. And you could sort of test it by
yourselves.
What happens and why these SEEM to work has to be seeked in your
mind. As we believe we see shapes in the clouds or in the shadows
because we are adapted to reconduct events and images to what
we know, or better, to what we believe
T. A. is great already and there is more than enough there to
conduct undisputable test proof analisys.
Somebody has commented that since all traders adopt them
Fibo and Elliott work as a self fulfilling profecy. Perfectly right
for other more valid isntruments, but, sorry, not for those
two.
I do not have to say who I am and for how long I've been
following Matt&Steve to make what I am saying valuable or
unvaluable. So use the same approach toward a 13th
century mathematician from Pisa. It would be fascinating
if this ancient wisdom worked, but it just does not, at
least in the way it is used .
It is a theory, let's well consider it (why not), in the back of
our mind it could well be present, but that's it.
I agree...I have gotten destroyed listening to elliott wave and
waiting for the final 5th wave pullback... the intra-day guys
really suck...saying this marks the top evry 5 points up in the spx
from 785 they are back seat drivers.... steve
guys we are in an uptrend, I stated 2 weeks ago that I thought
the low was in, I covered all shorts on the watch list on Mar 9th
and put Longs, We state we only use EW as a roadmap, but use normal
tech analysis to time our trades. EW worked well last year and
defines the bear market, this is not the start of a new bull
market, however we are in an uptrend. wave B will last for
several months, it has been three weeks, what have you
missed?? You still have a few months of uptrend? My target on
wave B is 1000 - 1100 on the SPX, but is will not go straight
there. Plus did not not play any longs?
People get so damn emotional, I'm getting tired of all this.
I said, we are in an uptrend, we look to buy pullbacks,
pullbacks will be shallow so shorting is only for short term, the
trend is up, I've been saying this for a while. We have Longs
on the watch list. how many shorts do you see and the 2
shorts we have are working. Enough on this already
As a person who tried to do day trading by myself, and lost
$40,000, I'd like to say thanks to Matt & co. I have much
better direction than I ever had before. And I say to Matt, "you
can't please everybody all the time" !! Carry, on, you are doing a
great job ! Thanks again.

Matt, do not be dispirited by the negative comments. This
is a great service; your comments are clear, informative and
well balanced. Maybe the detractors would benefit from some
training in listening skills :-)

Matt, I am watching the SPX hit that 825 line you drew on the 60
minute chart. I'm interested in your thoughts as we watch if
it is taken out, or falls back. Looked strong this morning,
but too vertical. I may sell my SDS on a small decline, or
hold if the market falls back as quickly as it went up.
Regarding emotions on the site. As long as people keep it
civil, it is nice to know we have a passion for trading. I
try to make objective trading choices, but I do smile after a nice
trade. And I learn something from the bad ones.
