About Mike's Services

The VIX Trade Alerts service features Mike's day and swing trade alerts on the VXX as well as VXX options. The alerts are posted live in the ElliottWaveTrader room and available by email. The service also features a Live Video on Mondays after the close, in which Mike presents his charts and answers member questions.

Forex is a standalone service in our Trading Room that features chart analysis and alerts on trading opportunities in both the major and minor forex pairs, as well as crypto cross pairs, hosted by Mike and Arkady Yahknis. The six majors are EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, USDCHF, USDCAD, and AUDUSD.

The crypto pairs are BTCEUR, BTCGBP and BTCJPY. As potential set-ups or member requests arise, additional crypto cross pairs, including ETH, LTC, BCH, XRP, are analyzed relative to the heavily traded fiat currencies.

Local Bottom for VXX?

Yesterday the iPath Series B S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN (VXX) bounced off of the 200% Fib extension almost on the nose, which is a good signal that we may have formed at least a local bottom.

US Dollar Back To Highs, But Longer-Term Downside Setup Remains Intact

I still remain quite cautious to the long side here on the DXY, as the risks to the downside still outweigh those to the upside, even as we continue to grind higher.

Levels To Watch for a b-Wave Top

OUR MEMBERS SAY ...

“I consider my EWT subscription one of the best and smartest decisions of my investing career. ”

"joneil" - Trading Room2019-06-28

“I will say this about this site and the crew in general: It is one of the most cohesive, cooperative and harmonious "work" groups I have ever experienced. Everyone's dedication is exemplary, above and beyond the call of duty. The leadership is outstanding. All the trading and money making aside, it is a true pleasure to be here. I haven't even talked about the quality of the analysis. That, I think speaks for itself. OUTSTANDING!”

"Nanook" - Trading Room2018-11-08

“I became interested in cryptocurrency trading at the beginning of the year, but knew very little about it. I found the cryptocurrency service extremely helpful. I was able to watch videos where Ryan explained the basics and potential problems you could run into. He, and other members, also answered my questions when I was confused about how to get started... The proof is in the pudding. Over the past few months, my son and I have each made 40% on our investments. Even with a small investment, our earnings have more than covered the cost of the service.”

"Rocker-2" - Email2019-05-20

“What's incredible is that not only are the analyst's here supremely insightful, collectively presenting multiple scenarios and interpretations, but some of the members too contribute with high quality analysis and charts. Quite special...putting it kind of mildly :-)! Keep up the good work, Avi and team.”

“EW + Avi and team=$$$”

"Kwker" - Trading Room2019-08-05

“I remember distinctly reading an article in 2011 by some kook who had the audacity to call the top in PM when they were obviously going nowhere but up. I dismissed him for the exact same reasons people dismiss him now and went on to suffer catastrophic losses over the next couple of years. Yesterdays highs of both GLD and GDX tapped Avi’s resistance zones nearly to the penny and have since turned down. And the guy gets criticized for being right. If you want to feel better about being wrong, stick to perma-pumpers like Adam Hamilton. If you’re interested in actual price action and calls that actually get updated as conditions change, this is the place to be.”

"Destin" - SeekingAlpha2018-10-12

“In the course of the last 20 years I subscribed to all manner of 'expert' services . . .This forum is at another level. There is nothing like it that I know of. ”

"Green" - Trading Room2019-05-22

“I’ve been here a while and watched the membership grow. What has been maintained is a sense of community allowing for the open sharing of ideas in a respectful manner. This is not only a site with great analysts providing their services and guidance and those behind the curtains updating and making it all run smoothly but also a very knowledgeable membership willing to share and teach. Hats off to all that make this site a wonderful destination. ”

"IMOK" - Trading Room2019-05-22

“Would just like to say Avi, Your approach and professionalism. and the time you take to look after every one on this site is superb. Your a great mentor and I can't thank you enough for turning my trading around. Ive literally turned a huge corner this year and I feel its due to your self and your teams help. So thank you.”

"BobbyJ" - Trading Room2018-10-26

“There are wave counters and then there is EWT. There is nothing that can hold a candle to this site and the wealth of information that is generously shared here. The wave counting by the analysts here is head and shoulders (no pun intended!) above anything you will find elsewhere. I think what sets them apart is that they will actually teach you”
