Prechter's Perspective gives you an inside look at the man named "Guru of the Decade" after winning the U.S. Trading Championship with a record 444.44% profit. Prechter's Perspective compiles actual trading knowledge from a career that took Bob Prechter three decades to build. You'll get Bob's thoughts on how Fibonacci ratios can help you time the markets and when to use risk-limiting stops. You'll get his tips on ruling out emotional tendencies and using discipline to keep the markets in your favor. This book gives you lots of detail about the markets over the last 25 years, but it's more than just a history lesson. Bob also teaches you about how the Wave Principle applies to anticipating the legacies of national leaders, trend changes in pop culture and the next big move in the markets (plus the little ones, too). If you're a newcomer to Elliott Wave or if you're looking for the right resource to give a friend, family member or colleague, this 221-page newly revised edition of Prechter's Perspective is the best overview of the Wave Principle you can get. Robert R. Prechter is known for developing a theory of social causality called socionomics and for his career applying and enhancing the Wave Principle, R.N. Elliott's fractal model of financial pricing. Prechter has made presentations on socionomic theory at the London School of Economics, the University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge, MIT, Trinity College Dublin, Georgia Tech, SUNY and various academic and financial conferences. In 2005, Prechter created the Socionomics Institute, which is dedicated to research and the application of socionomics, and the Socionomics Foundation, which supports academic research in the field. Prechter and colleagues have written several academic papers, including "The Financial/Economic Dichotomy" (2007) and "Social Mood and Presidential Elections" (2012), which became the third most downloaded paper on the Social Science Research Network that year. Prechter graduated from Yale University in 1971, joined the Market Analysis Department of Merrill Lynch in New York in 1975 and founded Elliott Wave International in 1979, where he has published monthly market analysis in The Elliott Wave Theorist. He is a member of the Triple Nine Society and the Shakespeare Oxford Society. Prechter has authored, edited or contributed to 18 books. His latest work, "The Socionomic Theory of Finance," aims to replace conventional financial and macroeconomic theory with an internally and externally consistent paradigm based on socionomics.
