RE: [RT] Why Fibonacci Numbers work and Number crunching - change directions

Your exactly right Clyde :-)  And you've discovered what markets
Are all about.  A minimum of rules and a maximum of chaos.  We all
Want precision and certainty in life and in trading but it will never
Happen.  Its just the way markets are.  All we know is that over time
They will fluctuate up and down to varying degree's.  The one saving
Grace is that it happens more often than statistically should so we
Can profit from trend. There are a 1000 ways to define and get on and 
Off trends.  Each person simply spends years finding what works for
them.  

Neely's work though is far more rigorous than the basic Elliott theory
And has many concrete guidelines that are a 1000x for helpful than 
Anything in other Elliott books. But I agree with you, it would be an
Incredibly complex thing to code, and really little point.
