is a landmark text in technical analysis authored by Glenn Neely. The book formally introduces his signature NEoWave method , which claims to be the first purely objective and scientific approach to applying R.N. Elliott's classic Wave Principle to market forecasting.
The Elliott Wave Principle, pioneered by Ralph Nelson Elliott in the 1930s, postulates that financial markets move in predictable, repetitive cycles driven by mass human psychology. However, traditional Elliott Wave analysis has historically been criticized for its subjectivity, often resulting in numerous valid but contradictory wave counts for a single asset. In his seminal work, Mastering Elliott Wave , Glenn Neely introduces the "Neely Method" (later known as NEoWave). This paper explores how the Neely Method imposes a strict, step-by-step logical framework onto wave theory to eliminate analyst bias, introduce measurable rules for time and complexity, and establish a truly scientific approach to market forecasting. 1.

Formed by combining multiple monowaves into larger patterns. By building from the bottom up rather than the top down, the analyst avoids forcing the market into a macro bias. B. The Introduction of "Time" and "Complexity" The Elliott Wave Principle, pioneered by Ralph Nelson
The Neely Method was born out of a decade of intensive research to remove this guesswork. Neely posits that the plotted price activity of a market is the exact graphical representation of crowd psychology. To analyze it accurately, he developed absolute mandates that any valid wave formation must pass. 2. Core Methodologies of the Neely Method A. Monowaves and Polywaves
Classic Elliott Wave theory defines the market as a series of 5-wave impulsive moves and 3-wave corrective moves. While powerful, its real-time execution often left too much to personal interpretation. Analysts could easily manipulate wave counts to justify a preconceived bullish or bearish bias.
Unlike traditional analysis which starts by looking at macro patterns, Neely mandates starting at the most basic level of price action:
