Short-term = SHORT.
Mid-term = LONG.
This is my PERSONAL trading CHART, with no further educational explanations.
BUYING STRATEGY: Take 50% profit at 50% of previous WAVE (just do it) and place stop at purchase price.
IF price reverses lower YOUR EVEN,.... IF price continues UP-TREND then, re-buy at NEXT CORRECTIVE WAVE.
This is actually a very aggressive strategy for going in early that is why 50% "hedge" PROFIT is taken EARLY in the TRADE.
Combining ELLIOTT WAVE and THIS strategy , has SAVED my account 3-TMES during the past 3-weeks.
