Entry Method
Advanced GET offers several entry methods. The most popular method uses Regression Trend Channels. The software calculates and displays a two standard deviation
Trend Channel. The entry is taken on the break above the Trend Channel. An example
is shown below:

Trend Channels

MOB SUPPORT

Elliott Oscillator Divergence

The change in Trend is confirmed when the price crosses through the Trend Channels.
This provides a mechanical entry technique without second guessing. In addition, it
also provides a low, where stops can be placed.
As a trader, you will combine the Trend Channel entry with other techniques such
as the MOB levels or Elliott Wave reversals. This type of set up will provide better
opportunities for a sustained change in Trend. We will now further discuss the
various techniques offered in the Advanced GET software.

MOB Support/Resistance Levels


The MOB (Make Or Break) study is a proprietary technique we introduced in 1997. It
still continues to be one of the most popular studies used by our customers all over the
world. The software takes into account the momentum in swings X, Y and Z (as shown
below) and calculates a MOB level where the prices should test and reverse.

Channels

The change in Trend is confirmed when the price crosses through the Trend Channels
after testing the MOB. A stop is placed under the MOB level.
The MOB level is generated at the beginning of Swing Z. This gives you advanced
notice of price support at that level. When MOB lows coincide with the completion
of an Elliott Wave sequence (5 waves as in the above example), the following rally
will be very strong.

MOB Support/Resistance Levels


work on any time frame or issue
The MOB model works across the board on any time frame (one minute to weekly
data). The model also works on Stocks, Futures or cash indexes. It uses the same parameters for all time frames and issues. This is the main reason why the MOB has
become a very effective tool used by traders all over the world.

MOB SUPPORT

This chart shows the Hourly (60 min) chart of Chase Manhattan Bank (CMB). The
MOB levels are generated at highs and lows. Again, once the MOB is tested, wait for
the cross of the Trend Channels to confirm entry. The Trend Channels play a major part
in trading the MOB levels. First it provides confirmation that the MOB level is holding.
Once the entry is confirmed by the cross of the Trend Channels, it further provides a
(high or low pivot) where stops can be placed. The Trend Channel filter increases the
accuracy and efficiency of the overall system.

ELLIPSE STUDY
The Ellipse study provides key levels from where a previous trend is likely to continue.
Once a Trend is in force, how much will the issue pull back before the Trend resumes?
This is a question asked by every trader in the world. Our Ellipse model is designed to
provide an answer to this often asked question. The Ellipse study provides a Price Level
and a Time when the Trend could resume.

The change in Trend is confirmed when the price crosses through the Trend Channels
after testing the Ellipse. The stop is placed under the Ellipse level.
As soon as Trend X is over, you can have Advanced GET generate the Ellipse
Support. This allows you to anticipate where the correction could be over. Once
the prices test the Ellipse Support, the trade is taken on the cross of the Regression
Trend Channels.

ELLIPSE STUDY
It works on any time frame or issue
The Ellipse model works on any time frame (one minute to weekly data). The model
also works on Stocks, Futures or cash indexes. It uses the same parameters for all time
frames and issues. There is no curve fitting, or changing settings for different time
frames. This truly is one case where One size fits all.

This chart shows a 5 minute chart of the June SP 500. As the market creates a new
trend, you can have a corresponding Ellipse level generated. Once the prices test the
Ellipse level, you wait for the cross of the Trend Channels to confirm entry.
When the Ellipse study is used in conjunction with Elliott wave analysis, you are provided with time and price entry levels, Elliott price projections and a forecast for the
strength of the next move. This type of power is not found in any other software

package out there.

Automatic Elliott Wave Counts


In 1987, we created Advanced GET and designed it to count Elliott Waves. Since then,
we have constantly improved the model and developed a totally mechanical approach
to trading the Elliott Wave sequences. An Elliott Wave sequence is a five wave structure with the third wave being the strongest rally. This is followed by a profit taking
wave called Wave 4. Once the profit taking is over, a new rally phase sets in. This last
phase labelled Wave 5 does not have the strength of Wave 3, even though it makes new
highs. This lack of strength eventually creates a high and the market changes trend.
This pattern frequently repeats itself in all stocks and futures and on all time frames.

The counting of Elliott Waves is a well accepted, but sometimes complicated, technical
analysis approach used all over the world. Advanced GET makes it simple by calculating all the various possibilities and automatically selecting the appropriate Wave count.
Many large institutions, fund managers, position traders and day traders have been
using our wave counts and mechanical trading approach for over 10 years. We will now
discuss the different types of mechanical trading approaches using Elliott Wave analysis.

Combining Elliott Waves-MOB-ELLIPSE


XTL: The Expert Trend Locator automatically paints the bars blue to show an up
trend or red to show a down trend. The XTL identifies the beginning stages of a potential Wave 3 rally. The XTL also identifies Wave 3 declines at its early stages.

XTL Continuation: Once a Wave 3 is in progress, the XTL further identifies continuation type trades in the direction of the trend. Usually, the Ellipse also provides
price and time levels for continuation trades.

PTI: The Profit Taking Index measures how much profit is being taken in terms of
momentum. Statistically, if the PTI is greater than 35, the market should make new
highs in Wave 5.

Awards.

Elliott Mechanical Type One Trade


a) The Elliott Oscillator should confirm a Wave 3 rally.
b) During the Wave 4 profit taking, the Elliott Oscillator should pull back to zero.
c) On the pull back, the PTI should be greater than 35.
d) Look for an Ellipse support.
e) BUY ON THE CROSS OF THE TREND CHANNELS.

probability is greater than 80% for a new high. Staying above the second channel provides a probability of 60%.

10

Elliott Mechanical Type Two Trade


a) The Elliott Oscillator should not make lower lows in Wave 5 creating a divergence.
b) In-between the divergence, the Elliott Oscillator should pull back to zero.
c) Look for a MOB support at the end of Wave 5. This sets up a reversal.
e) BUY ON THE CROSS OF THE TREND CHANNELS.

When 5 waves are complete, and there is Elliott Oscillator divergence, the market is
ready to change the trend. Most of the time, Advanced GET would provide a MOB
support at the end of a Wave Five. Once the price crosses the Regression Trend Channels, a trade can be taken with stops placed under the MOB low. Type Two trades
usually provide a strong reversal in the market and generates the most profit potential.

Elliott Mechanical Trades on Hourly data


The same rules apply regardless if you are trading a daily chart or an hourly chart. This
is the beauty and the simplicity of our system. You, the trader decides which market
and what time frame to trade. Our models use the same parameters for all issues and
all time frames.

SHORT SELLING
A versatile trader is one who can establish long or short positions based on the current analysis. Our models provide equal weighting for both long and short positions.
The rules are the same. Only the direction is different as seen in this example:
a) The stock makes a new high with lower highs in the Elliott Oscillator.
b) The Oscillator pulled back to zero for the Wave 4 retracement. This is a must.
c) The software generated a MOB resistance level which the stock tested.
d) When the price crosses the Regression Trend Channels, it sets up a (short position) Elliott Type Two Sell.
e) Place protective stops above the MOB resistance.

False Bar Stochastics Trade


This study was created in 1986 and is still very popular among our users. During certain
market conditions, the Elliott Waves, MOB or Ellipse trades may not be well defined.
In such cases, we use the False Stochastics trade.
The Stochastics study has been around for over 40 years. When the Stochastics is above
80, it indicates overbought conditions and the general consensus is to start a Sell strategy. However, if the market is rallying in a trend, the Stochastics continues to stay in
overbought conditions for a long time and you end up loosing on the Sell side.
We have created a model that alerts the user to such false signals. If Advanced GET
detects a trend, it draws a False Bar indicating a false Stochastics signal.
In the example below, the overbought conditions (Stochastics above 80) had False Bars
indicating False Stochastics signals to sell. The three Buy signals (oversold conditions
- Stochastics below 20) had no False bar and the Buy strategy worked.

the software indicates a
False bar and the signal is ignored.
