There are many studies available to follow market behaviour such as Technical analysis, Elliott wave, fundamental analysis, Market Profile, etc. Within Technical analysis, there are many methods based on various momentum indicating, trend indicating as well as reversal indicating methods available. Once a beginner goes through these studies, he/ she must choose one method to follow as well as trade the market.
It is easy to get distracted when various techniques are discussed. It is the same with life too. Once a businessman chooses his trade, he/ she will go deeper into that trade and attempt to excel in it by applying all his/ her resources and such an enterprise will always deliver satisfying results.
So choose your method.And be prepared for 25% failures which will get managed by your "Stop loss application" and the remaining 75% will be well managed with "Part booking and trailing stop loss or till a reversal signal is generated".
Knowing the principles involved in your chosen method helps you to plan, execute and manage your trades independently. The initial time well spent in acquainting yourself with your system and constant affirmation to yourself about your belief in your system will help you "Stay on course" to
"Get Rich Slowly & Quietly".
EW has possibilities but it generally comes down to directions in which the "distance varies". After a 5, a 3 unfolds and after a 3, a minimum 3 unfolds. This is the basic structure. Now you have to decide for yourself, what kind of trader you are and which time frame's waves you intend to trade. Choose and stay glued to it.
When you merge regular TA with EW, it favours 4th.c unfolding currently(OR an "x" wave). The bearish 5th wave down gets negated @ 5117(80%) but the negation gets confirmed above 5169 and above week's pivot, it has already lost its significance.
