ShepWave analysis is always building upon previous technicals and analysis.

As a note of caution: There are a lot of analysts who try to predict wave counts. Please be careful of doing that. It is good to understand the dynamics and underlying principles of Elliott Wave Theory but in the labeling of wave patterns, remember that no pattern or wave count is official until the next wave series begins. So many otherwise really good analysts seem not to understand this simple concept with regards to Elliott Wave Theory.

Proper Technical Analysis is a Science, an Art, and a Discipline:

It is a SCIENCE in that we identify and analyze key technical occurrences and correlations. These lead to patterns which can be used to identify probable future directional movements.

It is an ART because there are times when the strict definitions and observations have variable outcomes. The efficient market analyst has the history and experience to put together all of the contextual observations--which go beyond the bounds of the immediate contextual evidence--to find the most probable future pattern. Note most analysts do not actually provide future probability in the same way as ShepWave.

It is a DISCIPLINE in that we have guidelines to use to minimize any possibility of the market(s) going against our prescribed direction. This is also one of the aspects that most analysts do not designate clearly. This can make the difference between a consistently profitable trader/investor or one who loses consistently.
