Glenn Neely – Neowave. Inovations that Make Elliott Wave Work Better for You
The three core elements of Elliott Wave are:
- the Fibonacci number series
- pattern recognition
- the Golden ratio (.618)
All three elements have a “forecasting” or “anticipatory” aspect, in which the analyst is expecting the market to move up or down a certain number of “waves”, which adhere to a predictable design and have specific relationships. (Note, the concept of “waves” was not objectively defined in any literature until the release Mastering Elliott Wave in 1990)
The three core elements of NEoWave are:
- Logic (e.g., a strong correction must yield a powerful move),
- Self-defining price/time limits (e.g., a smaller degree pattern cannot take more time and price than a larger degree pattern), and
- Self-Confirmation (i.e., the market’s post-pattern behavior determines whether your prior structural analysis was correct).
All three NEoWave elements have a “back-casting” or “reactionary” aspect, where the analyst is making sure (after the fact) a pattern did not take too much or too little time, that it was not too complex or too simple, and that post-pattern price action achieved the minimum movement required to confirm the prior pattern.
It was NEoWave that allowed Glenn Neely to turn adamantly bearish on the U.S. stock market near the highs of 2000 and then, two years later, turn bullish again just six months after the 2002 low. Finally, in January of 2008 – once again, despite strong opposition – he turned adamantly bearish on the U.S. stock market. It was NEoWave that gave Glenn Neely the courage to announce to the world in mid-January 2008 that a new bear market began and that there was virtually nothing that could be done to stop the downward spiral of the U.S. stock market for the next 4 to 6 years!
In its orthodox form, Elliott Wave never allows for such dogmatic forecasts. To the contrary, Elliott Wave typically allows for multiple, completely contradictory scenarios. If you have simultaneously bullish and bearish counts, it is of little value for trading.
The same way calculus elevated mathematics beyond algebra and trigonometry, the logical, self-defining limits and self-confirming aspects of NEoWave raise the field of wave analysis (and technical analysis in general) above the realm of opinion and hearsay and into the realm of science and fact.
