 Applying
Elliott Wave Theory Profitably (222 pages, $69.95 hardcover, 2003,
ISBN 0-471-42007-7) by Steven W. Poser, published by John Wiley & Sons.
During the late 1920s, Ralph Nelson Elliott theorized that stock markets do not behave in a random, chaotic manner, but rather move in cycles, reflecting the actions and emotions of human mass psychology. Elliott believed that the ebb and flow of mass psychology reveals itself in repetitive patterns, or waves. This book makes sense of this proven trading strategy and gives you a straightforward lesson on how to make money using Elliott wave theory. This book will take you through the process of understanding how and why Elliott wave theory works.
