Understanding the Basic Language of Option Trading / InvestorEducation / Options & Warrants
By: J_W_Jones
“Anticipate the difficult by managing the easy.” ~ Lao Tzu ~
The peculiar vocabulary and concepts inhabiting an options trader’s thoughts are often the source of confusion to visitors to my world.

A Two-Bar Pattern that Points to Trade Setups / InvestorEducation / Learn to Trade
By: EWI
Some people like to get outside on the weekends, maybe playing tennis or working in the yard. Some people like to visit their friends or cook a big meal or go out to see a movie. And some people who are passionate about their work -- such as Elliott Wave International's futures analyst Jeffrey Kennedy -- like to stare at hundreds of price charts on their computer screen to find patterns that point to trade setups. We used to worry for his health but not anymore, because he's been doing it for years and he comes up with some neat stuff.

By: EWI
Patterns are everywhere. We see them in the ebb and flow of the tide, the petals of a flower, or the shape of a seashell. If we look closely, we can see patterns in almost everything around us. The price movements of financial markets are also patterned, and Elliott wave analysis gives you the tools to interpret those patterns.
The Fibonacci sequence is vital to Elliott wave analysis -- as a matter of fact, R.N. Elliott wrote that the Fibonacci sequence provides the mathematical basis of the Wave Principle. Once you understand the Fibonacci sequence, it's easy to apply it to the markets you trade.
