<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

Thanks 
for some intelligent conversations for a change :-)  I do disagree with you 
though..and I'm not talking from a theoretical viewpoint.  I've been 
applying his techniques on the local market here in Australia..and to be honest. 
I've never seen any public material from others here in this country to remotely 
come close to the accuracy that Neely has enabled me to reach.  This is 
well over 10 years  of REAL TIME wave counting with all material published 
publicly for free on the net BEFORE the event.  Now I'm no guru...and 
Neely's work isn't black and white, and isn't the be all and end all...I've 
never claimed it to be.  But it DEFINITELY is an accurate extension of 
Elliott's original work...it is NOT a different animal at all.  ALL of 
Elliott's rigid guidelines still remain...few as they are.  That is the 
problem...there are so few that people can pretty much put any count on a chart 
they like.
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff 
size=2> 
Neely 
has made wave counting MORE rigid...not totally rigid..there is still much 
grey.  And of course Neely tries to lock things in concrete!!  What 
use is a method if there isn't something concrete to it?  How many people 
on this list can differentiate between a wave 'b' in a flat or zig-zag?  Or 
decide if it might be an X wave?  I can do it easily and accurately almost 
every time.  It enables me to reduce the number of wave count alternatives 
by a quantum leap.  I used to believe X waves where a crock.....now I see 
they are not..and make perfect sense both logically and reality wise. 4th waves 
can and do overlap wave 1's...and there isn't anything wrong with that....it 
immediately tells you it is a certain kind of 5 wave pattern..nothing 
complicated..just technical.  
<FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff 
size=2> 
Make 
no mistake..Miner's approach is no different to Prechter's and any other Elliott 
book out there...ALL of them are exactly the same..simply because they make 
little attempt to take Elliott's work to the next level.  Neely is the only 
one I know who has attempted and succeeded....well for me anyway....and I only 
do wave counts on the local equity index..nothing else.  Its my 
speciality..and has been for over 20 years.  
 
How 
you convert all this information into trading signals though is another matter 
entirely and not part of this discussion.

  Adrian:
   
  The picture is not so black and white.  Neely 
  has attempted to make EW more rigid by adding rules to each pattern.  In 
  doing so, some argue that he has left EW and that NeoWave is a different 
  animal.  Neely's rules lock things into "concrete," which is its main 
  problem.  Markets are not locked but reflect changing opinions.  
  Miner's approach is based on Elliott where X waves, 4 overlapping 1, etc. did 
  not exist.  In between there is the "traditional" a la Prechter.  I 
  don't think any can be discarded in the 
               of 
  evidence that it is inferior to the others.  As with most TA, it comes 
  down to a matter of personal choice, reflecting how one incorporates the 
  analysis into a trading "system" and its affect on signal 
  quality.

    Earl,Miners work is good, but his EW is fairly 
    simplistic, but he doesput it into a form that can be used by 
    traders.  If anyone truly wantsto understand markets better and 
    apply Elliott Wave in a far more accurate and scientific way there is 
    ONLY ONE SOURCE of goodinformation.and that's Glen Neely's 
    book.  I STRONGLY WARN readers though not tobotherWith it 
    unless EWT really takes your interest.  It's a big book andEVERY 
    PAGEhas critical information on it, so lots of learning and practicing. 
    Butitworks, impeccably.  Its not a book about trading though, 
    only accuratewavereading.  Adrian>
