Product Description

Learn how to forecast the market with Elliott Wave Theory
In Applying Elliott Wave Theory Profitably author Steven Poser shows readers how to trade using Elliott Wave Theory–a powerful technical analysis tool used to forecast the stock market–through easy–to–follow trading strategies, while offering clear explanations on how to interpret this method′s numerous patterns. Step–by–step guidance breaks down the Elliott Wave Theory and provides strategies that a trader can put into action along with a complete explanation of how and why the Elliott Wave Theory works. Applying Elliott Wave Theory Profitably shows readers where to look for external clues, and how to use these to improve their trading performance.
Steven W. Poser (Upper Saddle River, NJ) is President and founder of Poser Global Market Strategies Inc., an international stock, bond, and currency markets trading advisory firm. Mr. Poser publishes a daily newsletter that covers these markets from a technical and fundamental perspective. He holds a post–MBA degree in finance, as well as an MBA in economics and a BA in mathematics and computer science.

From the Inside Flap

During the late 1920s, Ralph Nelson Elliott theorized that stock markets do not behave in a random, chaotic manner, but rather that they move in repetitive cycles, which reflect the actions and emotions of humans caused by exterior influences or mass psychology. Elliott believed that the ebb and flow of mass psychology reveals itself in the same repetitive patterns––illustrated by recognizable "waves." It was at this point that Elliott Wave theory was born.

Since its discovery, numerous books have tried to capture the essence of this revolutionary forecasting method, but they either made Elliott more complicated than it needed to be, or, in an effort to overcome the perceived complexity of analysis using Elliott, oversimplified the process.

In Applying Elliott Wave Theory Profitably, author and Elliott Wave expert Steven Poser makes sense of this proven trading strategy and gives you the most well–rounded and straightforward lesson on how to make money using Elliott Wave theory. Drawing from his many years of Elliott Wave experience, Poser:

  • Reviews how and why technical analysis works, and shows you where the Elliott Wave theory fits into that picture
  • Reveals each of the basic and advanced patterns that the market might trace out and discusses the market conditions that typically produce these patterns
  • Outlines how to build an efficient trading plan
  • Illustrates how to continuously update your plan in real time as the market provides you with further information by way of a constant stream of prices, volume, and news
  • Examines how to review the market from multiple time frames, so you know what degree of price retracements to expect, as well as what your risks and rewards may be

Filled with in–depth insights, expert advice, and a set of sample trading plans, this book will take you step by step through the process of understanding how and why Elliott Wave theory works––as well as show you when and where you are most likely to profitably apply Elliott Wave to improve your trading. You don’t need to trade every day to gain substantial profits, but when it is time to trade, using Elliott Wave theory can make all the difference.


Inside This Book (Learn More)
First Sentence
In his 1938 monograph, "The Wave Principle," R.N. Elliott wrote: "Very extensive research in connection with practically all human activities indicates that social-economic processes follow a law that causes them to repeat themselves in similar and constantly recurring serials of waves or impulses of definite number and pattern. Read the first page

By Donald Mitchell HALL OF FAME TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Hardcover
Having read and reviewed a number of books on Elliott Wave theory, I found this one to be much more helpful to me than any of the others.

I strongly agree with the author that Elliott Waves make more sense when considered in the context of other fundamental and technical information, the business environment, and key social circumstances. I found the way he described how to combine these data to be the most valuable part of the book.

The issue of Elliott Waves or any other technical tool is that it is ambiguous what is going on at any point in time. Even after the fact, many technicians will disagree about what the charts show. So how do you decide what trade to make? This book contains many excellent detailed examples that will help you understand, and gives you a format to follow for the future. The essence is to find potential trades with much more likelihood of gain than loss . . . and a gain potential that is much larger than the loss potential as well. How do to that is well described here for stock indices, stocks, bonds, currencies, and commodities.

What if you just want to better understand Elliott Waves? The book is superb in that dimension, as well. I found that I improved my understanding of how to apply Elliott Waves to stocks by looking at how they work in commodities more than I would ever have simply by looking at lots of stocks.

Mr. Poser is a clear writer. The material is dense though. You are taken through detailed analyses of many charts. These discussions take time to think through, but are rewarding. I recommend reading the book in small bites. I reviewed about 5 pages a day, and found it worked well at that pace.

I especially enjoyed the last chapter where Mr. Poser took a look at what may lie ahead for the stock market.

After you finish this book, you should probably read something by Robert Prechter as well.

After you finish this fine book, I suggest that you look for yet more technical tools to help you understand how to make better investment decisions. If you decide that rapid-fire trading isn't for you (it certainly isn't for me), remember that you can outperform 90% of all investors by putting your money into indexed mutual funds.

Well Written 17 July 2006
By David Keller - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
I recently completed the CMT (Chartered Market Technician) exam process- this is a professional exam for technical analysis, consists of three levels. The third level has a substantial section on Elliott Wave. I have read other books on Elliott, but this book was in my opinion the best written. Mr. Poser made a difficult subject much easier to digest. The real strength here is in discussing what NOT to do when using Elliott Wave- by keeping these tips in mind you will find you can readily apply the techniques to charts from various financial markets.

I highly recommend this book to anyone taking the CMT exam, especially those who don't use Elliott Wave in their trading and/or analysis.

Best Elliott Wave book so far 25 Nov 2003
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Poser has put together a very good book. He shows you how to use Elliott Wave without turning it into some sort of mystical religion. He does not say that there are times that you cannot trade with Elliott, but he does tell you what to look for when the patterns start to get sloppy. He also shows you how to do your research (and turn it into a trading or investing strategy) and very importantly shows the link between market psychology and the wave patterns. The book also explains how to use Elliott along with technical indicators and classic chart patterns.

No book is perfect, and although Poser does give you detailed trading plans, and also presents some trading tips, I wish he would have made the tips a more consistent feature throughout the book. His clear writing style and clear depth of knowledge makes this an excellent choice for somebody who want to learn how to use Elliott Wave and why it actually works.

In the end, the book is aimed at showing you how to use Elliott to trade, which is why this book is a buy for anybody interested in learning how to use the Elliott Wave Principle in their trading.
