In every profession there are people that get stuck in their own belief system and can make what ever they see conform to what they want it to look like.  As for history not repeating itself, I will have to disagree with you.  All technical analysis is based upon the fact that certain things continue to happen with a great degree of consistence.  That is what make technical analysis work.  The thing that gets in the way is the human factor.  This is the case in every failed enterprise as well as every success. 
 
Those who can understand what they are looking at and how to use that knowledge will always succeed.  Those that follow rotely are doomed to fail at some point.  It is the ability to apply the knowledge with as little bias as possible that creates success.  That is one of the reasons that I preach, look at both moves up and down all the time.  What has to happen for prices to rise and what has to happen for prices to fall?  The problem with most traders is that they only look in one direction and caught up in their belief system and don't look at what will make their decision wrong.  They usually use financial pain as an exit level rather than a price point that says they are wrong.  
 
I have used the same system for over 35 years and never had to change it, adjust it or tweak it and it has worked successfully in all kinds of markets and it still works today.   So does history repeat itself?  All of the time.  Minute by minute to year after year.

Just Prector .. He's been predicting doom all through out the bull market we've been in including through nearly all of the tech bubble which would have wiped out most people following his advice.  He now admits to under-estimating the length of wave C but only after no one had any money left who had been believers.  His view is that even though the market makeup changes, people do not change but even that is flawed because when he looks at the conditions in 1929, the people in that market had an entirely different geographical and financial makeup than today.  There was no one world market.. no world economy, no ADR's.  Stocks were being purchased for .10 on the dollar.  I wasn't alive then but I don't believe there were mutual funds.  So, the players are vastly different, the game is different and the rules are different but he doggedly sticks to his theme that it's all the same and history will repeat itself.  A view that has been extremely costly to his followers.

Does this mean you're not a Prector fan or not an Elliot Wave fan?
 
Just curious if there is a distinction, and if so, why?
 
Thanks

Prector is still around huh?  Every time the market sinks a bit, his name returns to the media so it's not really surprising I guess.  By the time he was right about the markets from the '90's, his followers had to all be busted but I guess there is a new crop now.
