Key to Market Behavior

by Robert Prechter & A.J. Frost

Paperback Book | 258 pages

This Wall Street bestseller is the most useful and comprehensive guide to understanding and applying the Wave Principle. A groundbreaking investment classic, Elliott Wave Principle is hailed by reviewers as the “definitive textbook on the Wave Principle.”

Still the best way to learn the Wave Principle

First published in 1978, Elliott Wave Principle is the definitive text designed to help the Elliott wave novice and veteran practitioner alike. This book will teach you the rules and guidelines of the Wave Principle and help you understand how to apply it to any financial market.

40+ years is enough time for investors to deem a book about an investment method as “classic,” and surely the jury is in on this one: Elliott Wave Principle is now published in seven languages, and continues to sell thousands of copies every year. In Europe, Asia and the Americas, literally millions of investors worldwide use or recognize the Elliott Wave method as the road map for how markets behave.

Here’s a sample of what you’ll learn:

  • The basic tenets of wave theory: You’ll read simple explanations of the terms, and how to identify all 13 waves that can occur in the price movement of financial markets.
  • The rules and guidelines of wave analysis: You’ll learn the basics of counting waves, how to recognize the “right look” of a wave, plus lots of simple steps for applying the rules and guidelines.
  • The universal context of the Wave Principle: How you can see it in nature and the universe, in art and mathematics, even in the shape of the human body.
  • Long-term waves: You’ll see how the Wave Principle gives history greater meaning, from the fall of the Roman Empire through the Middle Ages into the financial upheavals of the 20th Century. Understanding these monumental trends will help you position yourself for long-term profit and protection.
  • Stocks, commodities and gold: The Wave Principle is your guide to the movements of any financial market. Few pleasures can match the exhilaration you’ll feel when a Wave Principle forecast has you in the market when it moves up or lets you exit just before it moves down.

About the Authors:


Robert Prechter Founder and President, Elliott Wave International

Robert R. Prechter’s name is familiar to market observers the world over. Since founding EWI in 1979, Prechter has focused on applying and enhancing the Wave Principle, R.N. Elliott’s fractal model of financial pricing. Prechter shares his market insights in The Elliott Wave Theorist, on of the longest-running financial publications in existence today. Prechter has developed a theort of social causality called socionomics, whose main hypothesis is endogenously regulated waves of social mood prompt social actions. In other words, events don’t shape moods; mood shapes events. Prechter has authored and edited several academic papers. He has written 18 books on finance and socionomics, including a New York Times bestseller.
