The Elliott Wave Principle is a method of technical analysis that aims to predict price movements in financial markets by identifying repeating patterns of waves. According to Elliott, market prices move in waves, which are repetitive and predictable. These waves are composed of smaller waves, which in turn are made up of even smaller waves. The Elliott Wave Principle is based on the idea that market prices reflect the emotions and psychology of market participants, which tend to repeat themselves over time.

In the vast ocean of technical analysis, few tools are as revered, misunderstood, and potentially lucrative as the Elliott Wave Principle. While many traders cut their teeth on the foundational works of R.N. Elliott or the popular interpretations of Robert Prechter, there exists a hidden summit in the world of wave theory. That summit is

Neely's method follows a strict, step-by-step order of application: Glenn-Neely-Mastering-Elliott-Waves.pdf

This paper examines the core methodologies presented in Glenn Neely’s Mastering Elliott Wave (1990), which refines R.N. Elliott’s original wave principle. Neely introduces “NeoWave”—a stringent set of rules for wave labeling, retracement logic, and time symmetry. The paper highlights Neely’s contributions, including the “Monowave,” “Polywave,” and “Rule of Alternation” applied to time. Practical applications, common criticisms, and comparison with classical Elliott Wave are discussed.
