IMPORTANT LESSONS LEARNT

  1. Trading is a probabilistic game
  2. E.W. is a good guide for future market direction, potential turn points and prospective profit objective ==> There are no guarantees with Elliott Waves
  3. UST Trading Algorithm minimizes probabilistic uncertainty by taking profits at predefined profit objectives. These profit objectives are statistically calculated by keeping in mind market's nature and the highest probability price target, to optimize profitability while minimizing volatility.
  4. Expected value of profits taken at higher probability level is always greater than waiting and hoping for the market to rise extra couple of percents
  5. Taking early profits allows one to keep some powder dry, in order to pounce onto a new opportunity
