Can Elliott Wave Theory just a marketing tool of Elliott?

  1. advice regarding the legalities of the CTA track, not advice for trading.

    yea, what doesn't make sense is I have to go through the T4 API and re-configure code to re-port my data and event handling. are you going to compensate me for that time too?

    Elliott wave theory is so subjective that impossible to writes programming codes and back-test it.

    Sure EW works well. However, do not use price & volume as the only input. Consider
    sentiment - moon cycle
    news
    planetary alignments
    earth magnetic fields

    as filter.

    Then out of 100 EW you eliminate 90 and remainder works like a charm

    You subjectively "think"/"consider" it works, no prove.

    sorry, should be more precise - wave direction and reversals can be predicted in general, regardless of EW theory. EW = suburban legend.

    again, You subjectively "think"/"consider" it works, no prove.

    cant prove, except forward test. impossible to backtest sentiment, planetary alignments, news, etc...

    wet dream of quants to create backtested mechanical system based on past price/volume that works like a charm is dangerous fantasy.

    temporary inefficiencies are gone and actually reverse once enough traders figures out.
