Visual Guide to Elliott Wave Trading

Jeffrey Kennedy

The Visual Guide to Elliott Wave Trading is an in-depth, easy-to-use guide to trading the financial markets with the Elliott Wave Principle.

In many ways this book picks up where Frost & Prechter's classic Elliott Wave Principle: Key to Market Behavior left off, which makes it "required reading" if you want to build a solid foundation in Elliott wave analysis. Co-authored by two of Elliott Wave International's most trusted analysts -- Wayne Gorman and Jeffrey Kennedy -- their trading insights offer a perfect blend of traditional textbook and real-world application.

Join Kennedy and Gorman as they provide step-by-step instruction in how to trade with Elliott. They include scores of real market charts that depict the Elliott wave patterns, which will help you measure the strength of trends, forecast market turning points, plus identify trading opportunities. What's more, this illustrated guide also explains how to use supporting technical indicators that can build confidence in your Elliott wave analysis.

Gorman and Kennedy know that "simple" does not mean "easy." Their combined expertise will help you build confidence in your analysis, create an effective trading plan, and better manage your trades. Whether your trading style is conservative or aggressive, their charts and techniques can help identify high-confidence opportunities.

Each chapter includes key points & smart investor tips, such as how to "Prepare yourself to take advantage of opportunities even when your preferred count does not materialize," and "Let the market commit to you before you commit to the market."

Elliott wave analysis recognizes that in financial markets, mass psychology swings from pessimism to optimism and back in a natural sequence. Use this book to recognize those wave patterns, and anticipate market moves that most traders never see coming.

The Visual Guide to Elliott Wave Trading is the new criterion for any serious technical trader.

Prechter, Robert R.: - Robert R. Prechter's name is familiar to market observers the world over. Since founding EWI in 1979, Prechter has focused on applying and enhancing the Wave Principle, R.N. Elliott's fractal model of financial pricing. Prechter shares his market insights in The Elliott Wave Theorist, one of the longest-running financial publications in existence today. Prechter has developed a theory of social causality called socionomics, whose main hypothesis is endogenously regulated waves of social mood prompt social actions. In other words, events don't shape moods; moods shape events. Prechter has authored and edited several academic papers. He has written 18 books on finance and socionomics, including a New York Times bestseller.

Praise for this book

I've been trading for the better part of 5 decades and working in money management for over 4 decades. VISUAL GUIDE TO ELLIOTT WAVE TRADING is simply one of the best and most unique books I've read on trading. It's written by two bona fide traders and uses real examples, not just perfect 'setups' that rarely occur in real life. I highly recommend this book for learning Elliott Wave because of its logical, simple step-by-step approach. It covers all of the main aspects of EW, with Definitions, Key Points, Smart Investor Tips and even an occasional Video reference. - Garrett Jones, Observations


Elliott Wave is often thought of as a comprehensive market philosophy. Gorman and Kennedy demonstrate that EW can be combined with other indicators to potentially increase returns & decrease risk. The use of additional indicators is rarely seen with Elliott wave analysis but this book shows how to add momentum or an overbought/oversold indicators. Visual Guide to Elliott Wave Trading includes basic information new traders will need to understand Elliott Wave and provides new ideas & innovative strategies that more experienced traders can immediately apply. - Michael Carr, Technically Speaking
