There are two camps of market analysts out there: the fundamental camp and the technical one. Fundamental analysts look at things like the GDP, unemployment, interest rates, etc. to make logical assumptions about where the stock market is going.<\/p>\n

Technical analysts use none of that. They look at the market’s internals to gauge the trend: things like momentum, trend channels — and yes, Elliott wave patterns.<\/p>\n

And this is your free chance to learn how they do it.<\/p>\n

We’ve put together a free 54-page Club EWI resource for you, “The Ultimate Technical Analysis Handbook.” Below is a short excerpt from chapter 3. Enjoy! (For details on how to read this free report in full, look below.)<\/p>\n

The Ultimate Technical Analysis Handbook
\nChapter 3: How To Integrate Technical Indicators Into an Elliott Wave Forecast
\nBy EWI’s Senior Tutorial Instructor Jeffrey Kennedy<\/em><\/p>\n

I love a good love-hate relationship, and that\u2019s what I\u2019ve got with technical indicators. Technical indicators are those fancy computerized studies that you frequently see at the bottom of price charts that are supposed to tell you what the market is going to do next (as if they really could). The most common studies include MACD, Stochastics, RSI and ADX, just to name a few.<\/p>\n

I often hate technical studies because they divert my attention from what\u2019s most important — PRICE. … Nevertheless, I have found a way to live with them, and I do use them. Here\u2019s how: Rather than using technical indicators as a means to gauge momentum or pick tops and bottoms, I use them to identify potential trade setups.<\/p>\n

Out of the hundreds of technical indicators I have worked with over the years, my favorite study is MACD (an acronym for Moving Average Convergence-Divergence). … Even though the standard settings for MACD are 12\/26\/9, I like to use 12\/25\/9 (it\u2019s just me being different). An example of MACD is shown in Figure 6 (Coffee).<\/p>\n

\"Coffee<\/p>\n

The simplest trading rule for MACD is to buy when the Signal line (the thin line) crosses above the MACD line (the thick line), and sell when the Signal line crosses below the MACD line. Although many people use MACD this way, I choose not to…\u00a0I like to focus on different information that I\u2019ve observed and named: Hooks, Slingshots and Zero-Line Reversals. Once I explain these, you\u2019ll understand why I\u2019ve learned to love technical indicators. …<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
