Chapter 3 — How To Integrate <strong>Technical</strong> Indicators Into an Elliott Wave Forecast<br />

You Can Identify Triangles<br />

MACD can also help you identify triangles.<br />

In Figures 20 and 21 (Pork Bellies and Sugar)<br />

you’ll see contracting triangle wave patterns.<br />

MACD traces out similar patterns that are<br />

concentrated around the zero-line. In other<br />

words, triangles in price often correspond to<br />

a flattened MACD near zero.<br />

Overall, my love-hate relationship with technical<br />

indicators like MACD has worked out<br />

well, so long as I’ve remembered not to get too<br />

caught up in using them. I hope that you will<br />

find some of your own reasons to love them,<br />

too, but I do want to caution you that you can<br />

get burned if you be<strong>com</strong>e too enamored with<br />

them. Remember, it’s price that brought you<br />

to this dance, and you should always dance<br />

with the one that brung you.<br />
