Introduction

“If you don’t try to be the best, it means that you ceased to be good. We are the masters of our own fate!” In one of his presentations, Zoran Gayer, a faithful follower and developer of Elliott Principle, has embraced Elliott thinking and has extended it with the application of chaos theory. The trader must look for the moment of maximum uncertainty, the edge of chaos, after which markets coalesce around a direction. That’s where the trader comes in… He/she must observe the end of these coalescent zones and then, and only then, must enter the market in the dominant direction. This well assimilated behaviour is the warranty of a successful trader. But this will not come without “sweat and tears”; the wisdom from sagacious China says: “What first brings pleasure, in the end gives only pain, but what at first causes pain, ends up in great pleasure”.

Common sense compels us to acquire a consistent trading technique that gives us the confidence to learn how to trade successfully. We must stack the odds in our favour. Elliott wave principle is one of the profitable choices.

Volume 4 is uniquely specialized in presenting real time trading cases, thus showing the apprentice trader how to apply the assimilated knowledge to an ongoing market. Like the sniper, the trader will have the patience to wait for the well-assessed and waited for trading set-up and only then, he/she will take action. The volume is composed of 7 chapters (480 pages, 533 charts and 43 Excel & Table files). The successful outcome is simple… One target, one hit.

The main purpose of writing this manual was dictated by the author’s desire to help the traders in their process of applying the trading rules for each of the impulsive Elliott waves: W1, W3, and W5. Even if it is not advisable for the beginner or for the experienced trader to trade the corrective waves, the author emphasizes here the high caution of doing just that, but only once the trader has acquired the necessary experience. Thus, the W2 and W4 trading will not have any secrets for the astute trader. The trading approach of the impulsive waves, A and C, of the corrective A-B-C patterns are not neglected either.

Numerous and efficient little known topics are described and illustrated here by means of many charts:

• Conceiving the most probable scenario, always having an alternate one with their invalidation/reinitiating conditions;

• Detecting the end-run phenomenon and the source of building the kinetic energy indispensable to the momentum strength of Elliott waves;

• The top-down technical analysis; • The identification of the dominant trend; • The role of the last bar and also the last swing to forecast the identification of the

incoming swing/trend; • The most optimal trading time frame to be used.

All these are scrupulously and methodically written in trader’s journal. The module of risk and money management is considered here as one of the most important elements, a truthful gearwheel indispensable to the well oiled mechanism of getting a highly profitable trade.



9

In practicing these real time cases presented in this manual, we have conceived and leaned on a strategic analysis composed of six tactical precursory trade parameters.

1. Pre-Market Momentum Evaluation : o External: Nikkei 225, US News at 14:30hrs (CET), o Internal: Energy sourced out of previous day.

2. Quantifying the Internal Strength / Weakness of the Ongoing Market 3. Evaluation of the most Current Deploying Momentum (Vertical & Horizontal Axis) 4. End-Run Limits forming Resistances, Supports, Clusters and Confluences 5. Strict Monitoring for Reversals / Continuation 6. Money and Risk Management.

The Annex chapter, at the end of this volume, will efficiently serve the trader with its Excel spreadsheet and tables. They were conceived not only to enhance the assimilation of the entire material, but also to give the trader a better chance to be ahead of the crowd. Always remember that “The Elephants don’t like to be accompanied!” The loneliness of the accomplished trader is the same as that of the marathoner’s who is trying to win every race.

Fig. 25 - The above floor pivot table calculates the values of daily, week and monthly time frames. As we already know, the best landmarks to halt or reverse the market are the clusters and the confluences. We can classify the pivotal cluster as one of the best stopping landmarks. Its halting power is dramatically enhanced when it is formed of multiple time frame components. We observe in the above pivotal table corresponding to the chart in Fig. 24, several possible clusters:

• Cluster Zone 12956-12948 marked as n° 1 on the table, corresponding to the monthly mid pivot P/S1 and daily mid pivot S4/S5,

• Cluster Zone 12997-13003 marked as n° 2 on the table, corresponding to the weekly pivot S2 and daily mid pivot S3/S4,

• The daily pivot S5 at 12916 key level is the optimal floor pivot susceptible to reverse the market if the cluster zone 12956-12948 (n° 1) will be broken down.

Fig. 48 – The above weekly Dax chart is the same as the previous chart but one week later. The big volatile bar broke up the upper right side of the diamond moving hastily towards the 0.75 Fibonacci price ratio at the 5701 key level of the relation C of A. The magnet-like effect of the median line of the pitchfork exerts a strong attracting action upwards. The presence of the pitchfork signals the trend continuation and we could forecast the terminal level of the ongoing trend by using the expansions of the height of the diamond.

Fig. 49 – The above weekly Dax chart is the same as the previous chart but one week later. The occurrence of a second big volatile bar raised the market towards the median line at the level of the cluster zone 5748-5758. Another cluster is waiting to halt or reverse the market at 6094-6097 level.

Fig. 98 - The above table shows the trading parameters of a 15-min Dax Futures chart (see Fig. 96) during the period of March 19 to 28, 2018. The optimal trading specificity of Dax Futures consists in its constant behaviour: the greatest intra-day ATR value amount around, 2-5 swings daily, 193 to 651 points intra-day and a predictable morning and after-noon behaviour. Even if we deduct 30% from the intraday amount (entry & exit losses), we still get 4812 to 16275 euros, a comfortable profit for the experienced trader. Going even further in our comparative study we observe below (Fig. 99 to Fig. 103) the huge opportunity of trading Dax Futures with regard to S&P500 and currency pairs.

Fig. 99 - The above table illustrates the comparative parameters expressed in Euro amount ratios and percentages compared with the Dax Futures. In spite of the common beliefs, Dax Futures is the optimal trading financial support choice, followed by JPY/USD, EUR/USD and lastly S&P 500. The GBP/USD amount is placed the last in this comparative list representing only 11% of Dax amount.

As they say, Black Wednesday of September 16th, 1992 was baptized “the day when the speculators broke the British Pound.” In the race to keep the pace with the German economy, the British economy triggered lower interest rates provoking a higher inflation. As a result, the island’s inflation climbed sky high several times. As a solution, the interest rates were increased so that it will attract investors. This scene laid out a highly profitable opportunity in the trading arena by shorting the British pound; among other speculators George Soros, took full advantage.

o Some arguments of this highly profitable Short trade Date – September 16th, 1992 named Black Wednesday Size of the Traded Capital in GBP - 10 billion British Pounds Profit Quantum Fund – 2 billion British Pounds Trade used was Short

Fundamental analysis revealed a steep depreciation of the British Pound. Technical analysis showed a declining tendency which was aggravated once the fall had begun. The trade entry was placed more than 30% after the chart opportunity occurred.

Financial instruments practised: Futures and Options Duration of trade : September 16th to December 18th, 1992 Major Events: depreciation of the British Pound within few days: • 15% with regard to DEM • 25% with regard to USD

o Using the last high level forming an upward hook, in a descending OBV indicator zone of wave C as the threshold of the initiation of the new wave W1 with the condition that the previous wave C has completed its internal five wave structure. This is usually labelled subwave w5: C or at even lower degree subwave (v): w5: C, far better visualized on lower time frames.

o The behaviour of the Volume indicator is simply irreplaceable in confirming or rejecting the real momentum of an up-sloping movement, especially in the process of the terminating and reversing of the wave C. The OBV and the Volume indicators go hand-in-hand. The former has a larger time span approach and the latter possesses a snapshot approach mirroring the development of the current candle and whether or not it exceeds the average level of the previous candles.

Fig. 220 - The above chart shows the high volatility of the first bar of W1-wave, which has surpassed the maximum level of the reversal descending bar (7312.5). The temporary decrease in volume to 10.5 mil was eventually offset by a strong ascending momentum, which pushed the trading volume up to 12.3 mil. The termination and the reversal of wave (C) accompanied by the initiation of subwave w1 is confirmed by the following elements: volume reversal with increased value, fill-in of the descending gap, exceeding the close level of the last descending bar at 7312.5 level and the increased momentum slope of subwave w1.

corresponding to the saying… “Don’t ever leave the money on the table for the market”. The size of the risk is directly proportional with trader’s mastery to identify the optimal location of stop losses. The shorter the risk is, the better the trader’s ability to protect himself/herself will be.

The fifth column is titled “Reward/Risk” ratio, The sixth column contains “Observations” and specifies the feasibility of the

considered trade. A trade may be considered as feasible if the R/R ratio is superior to the 2.5 value.

Fig. 254-A – The above table is used in the feasibility calculation of a W(2) trade through the R/R ratio with regard to the 2.5 ratio standard value.

Fig. 254-B - The right-hand side table is used in a particular calculation of the R/R ratio in trading wave W(2) of the chart in Fig 259. We notice the low value of the stop loss risk of 7.5 points which represents a mere 50% of the chart’s ATR(14) – refer to table in Fig. 263.

IMPORTANT: Please read carefully the Notes (bottom of above table) before use!

Notes: * Momentum Count Bars - one can expect trend changes at the Fibonacci numbers. We noticed that all the trends on the above time frames have a Fibonacci count bar number, respectively: 21, 21, 13 and 8. The trend reversal is synchronous with the count. Start counting with the first bar of a new swing. The bar count is valid only if the counted bar exceeds the previous bar high (in uptrend) or prior bar low (in down trend). ** Trend Inception Nest - it is the inceptive rectangle from which the trend is born. The wider its length, the stronger the trend momentum, the steeper the trend slope *** False Stochastics Indicator - is a proprietary tool of eSignal Advanced GET System. A real screen space saver, it has a dual action in assisting the trader not only to identify the reversals but also to detect the various stages of the trend: inception, development and termination. **** Count Back Line - CBL - an excellent exit tool, borrowed from swing and position trading.

Fig. 384 – The above table illustrates the market levels of Gann’s Square of Nine in descending mode (refer to the right sides). Gann taught us that from a single extremity chart level we can forecast the developing levels of a trend, susceptible to temporarily halt or to reverse the market current flow. Keep in mind the main locations: 45°, 90°, 180°, 270° and 360°. In our search for Gann clusters we have used several lower Highs, starting with the highest High: 12650, 12630.5, 12597.5 and 12572.5. The trader calculates from these Highs, in descending mode, the Gann levels. The down-sloping market flow is susceptible to be halted or reversed at 45°, 90° and 135°, respectively:

12481.9, 12462.5, 12485.5 and 12460.6 Gann cluster (marked by encircled cells), respectively, 135°, 135°, 90°and 90° of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th down cycles,

12537.8, 12541.4 and 12530.5 Gann cluster (marked by arrows), respectively, 90°, 45°and 33.75° of the 1st, 3rd and 4th down cycles,

12481.9, 12518.4, 12485.5 and 12516.5 Gann cluster (marked by a small filled square), respectively, 135°, 90°, 90°and 45° of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th down cycles.

Fig. 466 - The above table illustrates the market price values of Gann Cardinal Price Square of Nine levels in an ascending mode (+ 1 increment). We have used the lowest Low in order to obtain the optimal Gann ascending pathway. Once we have filled in the lowest Low value of the start-up cell with the 12105 key level value, marked “Begin” and the cell concerning the +1 increment value marked “Increment” for the ascending mode, we will closely follow the three possible pathways: north (N 0°), north-west (N-W 45°) and north-east (N-E 315°). Frequently, the progression of the trend of the market flow can be closely followed on one of these pathways. In this case, the chosen pathway was N-W 45°. Gann taught us that from a single extremity chart level we can forecast the developing levels of a trend, susceptible to temporarily halt or to definitively reverse the market current flow. We have placed these Gann levels on the 15-min Dax Futures charts shown below (refer to Fig. 467). For the ascending forecast movement the calculation was done from the lowest Low at the 12105 key level. Thus, we reached two consecutive key levels: 12361 and 12429. The former is just two points below the highest High of wave W(3) at the 12263 key level and the latter will be 1.5 points above the highest High of wave W(5) at the 12427.5 key level.

We will see in the next charts that these Gann levels guided us to manage the Long trade. Thus, the trade exit was selected at the 13361.5 key level located on the north-west (45°) pathway of the above Gann Cardinal Price Gann Square of Nine.

TIP: I have been frequently asked… How do you optimally select the Gann levels? We have three rules:

We always use the lowest Low to forecast the ascending Gann levels and highest High to predict the descending Gann levels. This is the first rule!

We pay more attention to the cardinal levels of the cycle: 45°, 90°, 135°, 180°, 225°, 270°, 315° and 360°. We are not saying that the in-between levels are not useful but they contain more market noise and give mediocre results. This is the second rule!

The third rule is as important as the previous two rules: Always select the Gann level that goes hand-in-hand with an adjacent level in the process of forming a potential cluster. In our opinion, the dam-like cluster that reverses the market would be made of a Gann cardinal cycle level (90°, 180° & 360°) with multi time frame floor pivots, preferably weekly and monthly.

About us: Email: [email protected]

Dr Mircea Dologa began his investment and trading career in 1987, in pharmaceutical and real estate industries. Once he passed the Series 7 and Series 3 exams, he obtained the two indispensable trading licences controlled by United States Government: the Registered Commodity Trading Adviser (CTA) Licence and Registered General Securities Representative - Investment Adviser Licence. During the training periods, he realized the scarcity in financial literature and trading seminars, of the true ‘know how’ practical tools. After reading hundreds of books and attending numerous seminars, the same question kept popping up: Where is the meat? Most of the time, besides the classics… it wasn’t there!

As a registered Commodity Trading Advisor (CTA) with National Futures Association of U.S.A., he founded a new teaching concept, based on practical aspects of trading, for both newcomers and experienced traders.

He published more than 100 articles and he is an international contributor to trading magazines in the USA (‘Technical Analysis of Stocks & Commodities’, ‘Futures’ and ‘eSignal.com Education Section’); the United Kingdom (‘The Technical Analyst’); Germany (‘Traders’ − English- and German-language editions); Australia (‘Your Trading Edge’) and Asia (‘The Trader’s Journal’). He is also the founder and the president of www.pitchforktrader.com – a specialized trading website.

Dr Mircea Dologa has written seven books, over 3 500 pages, 3300 charts and 150 Excel trading files, in his quest to efficiently teach the trading art, from the beginner’s level to the highest nowadays standards – the professional level. The author’s main thought during these seven years of planning, conceiving and writing these trading books, was how to optimally reveal the practical aspects.

Dr Mircea Dologa attended New York University and Cooper Union School of Engineering and Science in New York and graduated from the latter with a B.S. in Theoretical Physics. He obtained his Doctorate in Medicine from the School of Medicine in Paris. He also took MBA courses in finance and business management at the University of South Carolina in Columbia and at the French School of Business and Finance (HEC Paris France). After holding the positions of Medical Director and later of General Manager, in 1992 he decided to focus exclusively on his investments and since then he has devoted his activity to financial markets. He lives with his wife and two daughters in Paris, France.

A few illustrated moments of Dr Mircea Dologa’s everyday work: trader, teacher, mentor & author!

Dr Mircea Dologa, MD, CTA began his investment and trading career in pharmaceutical and real estate industries, in 1987. As a Commodity Trading Advisor and Stock Investment Adviser, by the New York Stock Exchange clients, he founded a new teaching concept, based mainly on the practical aspects of profitable trading for the novice and also experienced traders at www.pitchforktrader.com.

Member of several technical analysis associations, he is a well-known contributor to international professional publications in USA, England, Germany, Australia & South-East Asia - refer to Bibliography. He studied and practiced for more than twenty years the art of trading and has written three books about original concepts and published more than 50 articles.

Most of the experienced traders confess a substantial increase in trading profitability, if the Elliott waves were used.

• The author writes from his experience and research for more than two decades. He provides in this book, a thorough presentation and practice of Elliott waves. This technique has become a head start in terms of professional trading. The writer’s original concepts are rooted from more than 80 years of trading experience of our masters: Nelson R. Elliott, A.J. Frost, R. Prechter, Glenn Neely and Zoran Gayer.

• The author’s experience in medical field taught and warned him, that there is no positive outcome of any well accomplished tasks without the heavy load of case practice, once that the knowledge and confidence are at “rendezvous”. Thus, a trading edge too efficient to be ignored has been created!

As an entrepreneurial person that you probably are, otherwise you wouldn’t be reading this book right now; you took up the decision to become a profitably consistent Elliott wave trader… Don’t wait… This book is for you! Be warned… the road to conquer the Learning Curve is long and thorny… you’ll certainly get there if you really want it, but you’ll have to fight teeth and nails!
