Ive always felt that applying Elliott wave principles could be very helpful in analyzing the market, but felt overwhelmed when I tried to make sense of it. Bennett presents a well written book on both the classic Elliott wave theories and adds some great tips on how to check or confirm your wave counts. This is a great place to start for anyone interested in this methodology.

I love this book! It provides an excellent understanding of using the Elliott Wave. It goes into the history of Elliott Wave from the founder of Elliott Wave theory, Ralph Nelson Elliott, to Robert Prechter who kept the wave alive. The book also explains how manias, panics, bubbles and crashes work with the five waves using psychology. This book is a must for anyone who believes there is a method of trading using chart patterns in terms of Elliott Wave.
