"Anyone interested in Elliott wave analysis should read R.N.Elliott's Masterworks and Elliott Wave Principle. Both books are written in an easy-to-understand style, though you will probably find it necessary to reread some portions a few times to fully comprehend the many forms corrective waves can have. Don't skip anything. Every little nuance of the method is important. Reading the books is the easy part. The difficulty comes in learning to apply the methods in real-time trading. Elliott wave analysis looks deceptively simple and that is one of the biggest shortcomings. Proper application takes lots of practice."  - R.P.B., Utah

"Truly a great history and biography, updates very helpful." -G. B

"The author enjoys a reputation as a top timer and forecaster in the market: stocks, bonds, currency, commodities, social and cultural trends. A large part of his success comes from adopting and mastering a generally obscure theory know as the Elliott Wave. This fascinating book salutes the creator: Ralph Elliott. It’s the first time someone has pulled together all of Elliott’s works in one binding, and Prechter adds a bonus: a biography of a man who quietly established "a tool for explaining the otherwise surprising and indecipherable ways of the market." One might add, for explaining a phenomenon in human activity. In 1943, Elliott began noticing duplications of patterns which were similar in both large and small movements. "Gradually, the wild, senseless…changes in prices from year to year…day to day, linked themselves into a law-abiding rhythmic pattern of waves." In more than 300 pages Prechter methodically and generously explains how it all works, with lots of graphs to illustrate conundrums. But this is no crystal ball. "None of us can escape our human nature." So, there’s no guarantee of instant wealth. Elliott’s credentials were nothing spectacular. He spent time in executive accounting positions for railroads in South American, became a business consultant to restaurants, wrote about Latin America. Similar for Financial World magazine, others. He died in 1948, mostly unappreciated. Prechter’s unique book makes up for that tenfold." -The Book Reader
