Advanced trading with Elliott waves
In his second video tutorial on Elliott wave theory, John C Burford uses a textbook example from the gold market to explain in further detail some of the theory's main principles, and how to use them in your trades.
Welcome to my second video tutorial on how to use Elliott wave theory in your trading.
In this video, I aim to show how Elliott wave theory can work across many timeframes.
I look at a textbook example of how to use the theory from the gold market. Note that my example is from August, so the market has moved on from then, but the main principles still apply.

After the correction, we get a resumption of the main trend.
