Lit lin Wave sueesfly means wig it simply. Mark Schimmel designed this ‘workshop to provide you with the basic tools needed for a solid understanding of basic Elliott Wave structures: the 5-wave (impulse) pattern and the 3-wave (corrective) pattern. Specifically, Mark believes that you can successfully trade using Elliott Wave analysis by following only three basic rules accompanied by a handful of guidelines. Each Elliott Wave structure defines the trend and the market's next likely move. With 4 solid understanding of these simple rules and guidelines, you will gain confidence in counting a chart, which can result in a better understanding of the item’s price potential Along with the basics, Mark will share several trading approaches to the Elliott Wave sequence. These include deriving likely targets for the next move, assessing risk/reward parameters, and using the Wave Principle to minimize risk. eee ‘Mark A.

Psychology creates overvaluation. POWERFUL WAVE Strength. Breadth. Best fundamentals. Increasing real prosperity. By the end, the underlying trend is considered up. Wave often subdivides. Is never the shortest wave. REBOUND from undervalued levels Recognition of survival SURPRISING DISAPPOINTMENT Signals that best part of growth phase has ended. Does not enter price territory of wave 1. TEST OF LOWS Fundamental conditions often as bad as or worse than those at the previous bottom. Underlying trend considered down. Does not carry to new low. BOTTOM: Marked by Extreme Pessimism Large degrees: question of existence, survival; depression; war. Intermediate degrees: recession; “panic”; limited wars. Minor degrees: often accompanied by "bad news.” 9 500 7 DOW JONES I INDUSTRIAL Kl | fl AVERAGE hy | i i" | hy 507 | 1929 1935 More America than ever [fit ain’t a 1250 September 0; §&P500 ( Daily / 1150 ih i f Ni) i 1050 i no | 900 Ne Ay s Hr | ‘ i 850 8797 10997 121/97 1998 = 32798 —$/2698 7122/98 14 1250 1150 SMT September ©) S&P 500 Daily 3 vl | hy 1 f * 10397 124/97 12098 = 3279852698 —_7122/98 15 1200 it s 1180 1170 1160 1150 1140 1130 1120 1110 1100 s 1090 1080 September S&P 500 Daily | | | (© July 1998 Eliott Wave Intornational ata Couriesy of CG™ 5298 © 6/898 «GIH7I98 6/26/98 »=— 71898 = 7N7I98 (7128/98 16 a 6) September 5 i; §&P500 Daly 3 ff 1150 pang Te / f{ 4 60 1 fi 4 io | af Ni | y Att @ © W hay i 20 1 iy 2 w0 $50 (4) Sete ese g7g7 10997 -—« tag? = 12098 = 3127198 — 512608712298 19 71998" (Oct 97|Nov [Dec |Jan [Feb |Mar |Apr_ [May _|Jun Jul Weaday.

The first wave (wave a) is a smaller degree three wave move (a-b- c). The second wave is also a smaller degree three-wave move (wave b). This wave could also take the shape of a triangle by itself. The third wave (wave c) is a five-wave move (impulse wave). We are most concerned with this wave, in terms of trading. Trading Technique: Expanded Flat: A. Once wave c completes a five-wave move, move long or short (depending on the situation). In this case, we would move short. B. Place a protective stop exactly one tick above wave fives peak as prices begin to pullback. This peak is now key resistance for a bearish move. If prices take out the top of wave five, even by one tick, the probability is that the pattern is not an expanded flat. That does not mean that prices could not still fall. It simply says the count is probably something else. 27 I i | 8 TATA THTR8 TONGS TRIG T12088 x me 08 tH B® 28 S&P 500 15 MINUTE 1208 Eton Wave irternatonl uresy of CaG™ a S & P 500 15 MINUTE i (i) ana SB © August 1888 Eliot Way rt itesyof COS™ mR = Ny BS (| : if THT3 TANS T1883 ym we Hw mH TAB T2088 TBS 29 = s {aly i | N fy \ . i | (i)} | \ a ‘180 = {16 1) S&P500 15 MINUTE ‘© August 1998 Eliott Wave International Data Courtesy of CaG™ | \ H r j I, \ | i | Vv fy} lll) ?
