This Wall Street bestseller is the most useful and comprehensive guide to understanding and applying the Wave Principle. A groundbreaking investment classic, Elliott Wave Principle is hailed by reviewers as the "definitive textbook on the Wave Principle." Still the best way to learn the Wave Principle First published in 1978, Elliott Wave Principle is the definitive text designed to help the Elliott wave novice and veteran practitioner alike. This book will teach you the rules and guidelines of the Wave Principle and help you understand how to apply it to any financial market. 37-plus years is enough time for investors to deem a book about an investment method as "classic," and surely the jury is in on this one: Elliott Wave Principle is now published in seven languages, and continues to sell thousands of copies every year. In Europe, Asia and the Americas, literally millions of investors worldwide use or recognize the Elliott Wave method as the road map for how markets behave. Here's a sample of what you'll learn: The basic tenets of Wave Theory: You'll read simple explanations of the terms, and how to identify all 13 waves that can occur in the price movement of financial markets. The rules and guidelines of Wave analysis: You'll learn the basics of counting waves, how to recognize the "right look" of a wave, plus lots of simple steps for applying the rules. The scientific background of the Wave Principle: How you can see it in nature and the universe, in art and mathematics, even in the shape of the human body. Long-term waves: You'll see how the Wave Principle gives history greater meaning, from the fall of the Roman Empire through the Middle Ages into the financial upheavals of the 20th Century. Understanding these monumental trends will help you position yourself for long-term profit and protection. Stocks, commodities and gold: The Wave Principle is your guide to the movements of any financial market. Few pleasures can match the exhilaration you'll feel when a Wave Principle forecast has you in the market when it moves up, or takes you out just before it moves down.

Review

"This is a definitive, excellent book on Elliott, and I recommend it to all who have an interest in the Wave Principle." -- Richard Russell, Dow Theory Letters "Gold & Silver Today wholeheartedly endorses this book. It is the definitive work on a scientific wave theory of human experience. If you are interested in technical or wave analysis, it should be required reading." -- Gold & Silver Today "This book is extremely well done. It is clear, brief and bold...by far the most useful and comprehensive for both the beginner and the veteran." -- William DiIanni, Wellington Mgmt Co. "An outstanding job...I don't think a better basic handbook of Elliott Wave theory could be written." -- Donald J. Hoppe, Business & Investment Analysis "A top-drawer reference for serious technical analysts...all the nuts and bolts necessary to do their own Elliott Wave assembly." -- Futures Magazine "Chapter Three is the best description of Fibonacci numbers we've seen in print and that alone is worth the price of the book." -- James Dines, The Dines Letter "Elliott Wave Principle is simply the best description and validation of a concept which by all rights should be revolutionizing the scientific study of history and sociology." -- J.W.G., New York "In a third of a lifetime in this business, this was the first time I really understood Elliott, and this is certainly the first book on Elliott that I could recommend. All of the methods that Prechter has used so successfully are fully described in this book." -- The Professional Investor "Elliott Wave Principle is such an important, fascinating, even mind-bending work, we are convinced that it should be read by any and every serious student of the market, be they fundamentalist or technician, dealing in stocks, bonds or commodities." -- Market Decisions ----This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

About the Author

Robert R. Prechter is known for developing a theory of social causality called socionomics and for his career applying and enhancing the Wave Principle, R.N. Elliott's fractal model of financial pricing. Prechter has made presentations on socionomic theory at the London School of Economics, the University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge, MIT, Trinity College Dublin, Georgia Tech, SUNY and various academic and financial conferences. In 2005, Prechter created the Socionomics Institute, which is dedicated to research and the application of socionomics, and the Socionomics Foundation, which supports academic research in the field. Prechter and colleagues have written several academic papers, including "The Financial/Economic Dichotomy" (2007) and "Social Mood and Presidential Elections" (2012), which became the third most downloaded paper on the Social Science Research Network that year. Prechter graduated from Yale University in 1971, joined the Market Analysis Department of Merrill Lynch in New York in 1975 and founded Elliott Wave International in 1979, where he has published monthly market analysis in The Elliott Wave Theorist. He is a member of the Triple Nine Society and the Shakespeare Oxford Society. Prechter has authored, edited or contributed to 18 books. His latest work, "The Socionomic Theory of Finance," aims to replace conventional financial and macroeconomic theory with an internally and externally consistent paradigm based on socionomics.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "must have" book for Elliotticians
Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2003
Verified Purchase
This book is the easiest to read, most direct and to the point book that is solely on Elliott Wave. It tells all the possible moves, how they happen, and why. The book also goes into the very necessary explanation of Fibonacci and time relationships with regard to price. Many gold nuggets of information contained within this book; it is the most simple, complete Elliott Wave book you can get.
But the biggest problem is...most people just don't "get it"... Elliott Wave and Elliott's findings are SO MUCH MORE than the financial markets. The fundamental discoveries that govern the Wave Principle and thus the behavior of the financial markets are the very same fundamental forces at work throughout the entire universe. When you have a deep understanding of the Wave Principle, Socionomics, and science in general, you can begin to see how everything around us all ties together to form this awesome grand scheme of life and existance. A deep understanding of Elliott Wave and Fibonacci is the key to opening a whole new world of knowledge, application, and the birth of a new science.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good reference for learning Elliott Wave
Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2010
Verified Purchase
I am still in the process of reading this book. However, it is easy to read and give me a good understanding on wave patterns.

While I have read many books which in a way or 2 contain some wave count guidance, they never did ellaborate on the varations. This book gives references to variation of counterwaves. When I see the charts again, it seems to open up a whole new world and many unexplained moves become clearer to me.

I don't really care if others love or hate this book, I find it very useful for those who are interested to learn.

4.0 out of 5 stars Unnecessary information, but good overall.
Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2021

I don't like when they go about stories and tales about Leo Fibonacci and the deep mathematics on the sequence for about twenty pages, I find it unnecessary.
I'm not done with the book but so far it is pretty good if you wanna learn Elliott Waves.

There's a lot of good info in this book for chart analysis, especially if you're just starting out in trading.
The info is very lean with just enough fat to keep it interesting.

3.0 out of 5 stars BOON OR BANE?
Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2009
Verified Purchase
This book is a double-edged sword. It can either help or harm
you greatly One needs to use it with other TA tools. For e.g.,
if you are lulled into thinking that all bull runs have 3 legs (5 waves),
it can be dangerous because bull runs can have 2 or 4 legs too.

The double zig-zag I read here seems different from other books.

5-3 is chosen as a standard for all to understand. The market
need not be so. Pregnant ladies by an large give birth to one child.
But sometimes, there are twins or more. In the same way,
by and large, EWP holds true with its deviations.

It’s a little overwhelming how in-depth the book is. However, once you grasp it you feel empowered.
You will have to read it a couple times to compute it all. Would recommend, but not for the light of heart
