Nate's Market Analysis: Santa Claus Rally

Wednesday, December 24, 2014

My update for this week can be found at http://ewaveanalytics.com. Money can still be made during low volatility, low volume periods.

Why read this blog?

I am an analyst at http:/www.ewaveanalytics.com, an instructor for Elliott Wave International (EWI), a level 1 Certified Elliott Wave Analyst (CEWA), and a profitable e-mini futures trader. EWI interviewed me not long ago. Find that interview here.

My trading philosophy is 95% based on my own Elliott Wave analysis of the S&P 500. I try to keep my analysis and trading as simple as possible and do not use trend lines, channels, or definite retracement, price, or time targets. To me, inspecting the proportionality and symmetry of a market's price structure is the key to mastering the principle; it is through this that low-risk, high-reward trading opportunities are found.

Because they are the only things I look at when trading, the quality of the charts I post on this blog are very important to me. I think you will find my work to be the best Elliott Wave analysis of the S&P 500 on the internet.
