The foundation of the Advanced GET program is focused on the Elliott Type One and Type Two trades. The Type One trade is a Trend Following Trade. It is based on entering the market at the end of Wave 4, and taking profits at the end of Wave 5. In the Type Two trade, the market is entered at the end of Wave 5, with the initial target for profits being at the same price level as the previous Wave 4.

I know of scarcely anything so apt to impress the imagination as the wonderful form of cosmic order expressed by the "law of frequency of error" [the normal distribution]. The law would have been personified by the Greeks and deified, if they had known of it. It reigns with serenity and in complete self effacement amidst the wildest confusion. The huger the mob, and the greater the anarchy, the more perfect is its sway. It is the supreme law of Unreason.

Hebrew theology was divided into three distinct parts. The first was the law, the second was the soul of the law, and the third was the soul of the soul of the law. The law was taught to all the children of Israel; the Mishna, or the soul of the law, was revealed to the Rabbins and teachers; but the Qabbalah, the soul of the soul of the law, was cunningly concealed, and only the highest initiates among the Jews were instructed in its secret principles.

W.D.Gann started out his trading career just like anyone else. He went broke a few times before he developed methods to "follow" the market and manage his money. His work shows that he had some early methods that didn't work so he immediately dropped them, utilizing only those that worked. His understanding of market movement helped him develop unique ways of determining the trend and where the market was at any one time. Early in his market career he found that TIME was more important than PRICE. It was time that changed the trend, not price. With this in mind, his other developments fell in place around this TIME and PRICE phenomena.

The Tree of Life is a mystical explanation of how the universe came to existence. The Cabbala teaches that creation was accomplished through a series of divine emanations in which God, the unmanifest, wished to behold himself, and so overflowed into manifestation, creating the first sphere of existence known as Kether, or the Crown. When this sphere was complete, the divine power overflowed again and created the next sphere down, known as Hokmah, or Wisdom, and so on until ten spheres, or sephiroth, were created. The Tree, with its roots in the earth and the tips of its branches in the heavens provides a spiritual ladder by which God can read man and man can reach God.

Pike received the 4th through the 32nd Degrees from the American Masonic historian, Dr. Albert G. Mackey, in Charleston, S.C., in March 1853, and, in that same year, Pike was appointed Deputy Inspector for Arkansas.

[The High Preistess of the tarot] is the feminine goddess of the ancient world bearing both knowledge and wisdom to the life around her. She embodies the perfect woman and the essence of all that is female but not particularly feminine in a romantic sense. She is sometimes called Isis, the ancient Egyptian goddess of fertility and sister and wife of Osiris.

When they were finally unearthed, the Stoics were again treated with contempt. The German Kantian Carl Prandtl in his famous History of Ancient Logic (1855) described the truth table for "If .. then ..." as "excessively stupid". Finally, in 1896, the great American logician and eccentric, Charles Sanders Pierce (1839-1914) discovered the truth tables in a Stoic fragment. Casting off the dust of two millenia, the genius of the Stoics returned to fertilize the birth of modern symbolic logic. Their excessively stupid truth tables, embodied in silicon logic circuits, form the minds of our digital computers.

After the burst of the tech bubble in 2000, traders went from seeking the highest possible returns to focusing on capital preservation. But since the U.S. was offering interest rates below 2% (and going even lower), many hedge funds and those who had access to the international markets went abroad in search of higher yields. Australia, with the same risk factor as the U.S., offered interest rates in excess of 5%. As such, it attracted large streams of investment money into the country and, in turn, assets denominated in the Australian dollar.

Interest rate differentials between countries are one of the main factors that influence exchange rates. Money tends to flow into investments in countries with relatively high real (that is, inflation-adjusted) interest rates, increasing the demand for the currencies of these countries and thereby, their value in the FX market.

Until now the human race has undergone two great waves of change, each one largely obliterating earlier cultures or civilizations and replacing them with ways of life inconceivable to those who came before. The First Wave of change – the agricultural revolution – took thousands of years to play itself out. The Second Wave – the rise of industrial civilization – took a mere three hundred years. Today history is even more accelerative, and it is likely that the Third Wave will sweep across history and complete itself in a few decades. We, who happen to share the planet at this explosive moment, will therefore feel the full impact of the Third Wave in our own lifetimes.

Alvin Toffler, The Third Wave (1981)

Christians, for a variety of reasons we do not need to explore here, are likely to remain adamant in their belief in the physical Christ. And as in the case of Robin Hood, or Sherlock Holmes, or Santa Claus, there is no reason why they should change their conviction and identification. The loss would be too great for any gain, and too many great truths have been based on this greatest of lies for it to be so roughly uprooted. Whether they realize it or not, the Christian is, even in his ignorance closer to the ultimate truth than both the scientist, cynic or atheist. Man is light and light is man. The universe and the human are expressions of the same mystery.

We’ve lost certain ancient myths, or connection to the world as mythical. But we’re still living myth. We can’t ever step outside of a myth. We’re in one now in television. Television is a myth. To declare a myth only something that people tell each other around a campfire, or dance naked to, or paint themselves purple. That’s not the whole story of myth. Myth is whatever captures your imagination and moves your language and your body into doing things in certain ways. So, we’re always in myth.

Yes, [Jung believed] that modern man had lost his myth, and lost his sense of myth. But, you see, we’ve moved that, we’ve moved that. Now we realize that technology is our myth. Myth is always the thing you’re in and don’t know it’s a myth.

... in public relations warfare, he who frames the terms of the debate almost always wins. The abortion rights movement has prevailed in that war precisely because it succeeded, early on, in framing the debate as a question, not of abortion, but of choice. The abortion vanguard correctly anticipated that it would be far easier to defend an abstract, positive-sounding idea like choice than the unrestricted slaughter of unborn babies.
