Currencies
AUDCAD - Daily Trade is Live. Sell stop to entry triggered 1.01, Stop levels are at 1.035 & 1.028. Possible targets are .99 and .96. Analysis : Extended bearish Butterfly. Clear im-
pulse wave up from January low. One could easily fit this wave structure as a possible wave 3 of 5 up secondary wave. I believe its still worth considering for a harmonic trade set-
up. We have a nice price / momentum divergence on the last up wave. As trade developed we were glad to see a bearish cup and handle pattern at the top structure.

AUDCAD - Weekly On the weekly scale the pattern is even more convincing for a reversal here. We have a really nice ABC retracement pattern within the Gartley pattern.
AUDCAD has been testing the upper volatility boundary. Wave C target possibility is 0.92 to 0.88. We suggest using the daily chart for execution. Nice symmetry ranking on week-
ly.
AUDJPY - Trade was triggered on 4/15. Stops loss orders are at 97.00 & 96.29. Clear corrective type wave structure from A to D. X is very impulsive, which should contribute to a
well behaved reversal here. Sell stops to entry at 95, with stop loss levels at 97.15 for 1/2 the position and 96.41 for one half the position are calculated. Targets of 93 and 89.


AUDNZD - Smaller scale harmonic repeating fractal. Complex flat corrective EW structure. If AUD weakens across the currency matrix this could be a nice reversal.
No Trade suggestion because pattern rank is too low. Potential bullish support at 1.06



AUDUSD- Entry was triggered at 0.9350 with targets of 0.91 and 0.88. suggested stops are now at 0.942 & 0.936. Price is currently testing the A C trendline if we see a
break below could be nice impulse move down to target level 1.
EURAUD - Trade is Live. Buy stop entry triggered at 1.488 still Very nice AB = CD wave setting up here at .618% of the previous impulse wave. Clearly a nice area to
get long with the prevailing trend. Current stops 1/2 @ 1.47, 1/2 @ 1.45, Minimum expected target is 1.59


EURCADPossible bearish reciprocal AB = CD. No trade suggested.


EURGBPPossible Minor wave three drive reversal pattern


EURJPYCorrective Symmetrical triangle. Slight upside bias despite the double top underneath a major top formation. 144.00 bullish breakout level. 140.00 bearish
breakout level. Measured move targets at 150 (bullish) & 133 (bearish)

EURNZDBuy stop to entry was triggered 4/11/2014, stops are now at 1.598 for 1/2 the position and 1.587 for 1/2. Preceding structure lacks the traits of a 5 wave im-
pulse or extension (blow off) at X so we are less confident in this particular trade. Seems like our initial analysis is correct in terms of low structure rating. Trade is about
to get stopped out for 1/2 as of Friday May 2, 2014.
EURUSD Weekly scale corrective EW pattern suggests that the current up move from the 2012 low could be at a critical reversal juncture. The Gartley PRZ of 1.401
has not been tested yet but we think this pattern is of high enough rank to merit early short positions for aggressive traders. No formal trade is suggested yet until the
PRZ is reached for conservative traders. But if the PRZ gets hit a sell stop to entry at 1.367 is what we calculate. Stops at 1.424 and 1.415 would be used if filled. Poten-
tial downside targets could be 1.24 or new lows long term.
GBPAUD Retest of the primary head and shoulders pattern. No trade recommended due to low structure rating but suggested stops are shown for those whom
want to take the risk. (1.86 & 1.85). If we do see a reversal here then I have laid out possible wave 5 moves that would fit the pattern symmetry. 1.74 would be a typ-
ical wave 5 move.
GBPCAD Complex head and shoulders pattern setting up here. Measured move target 1.77 if it breaks the neckline.
GBPJPY Potential bearish Rhombus here. The Length of X to A : B to C is 1 : 0.618. Also it is hitting the double top resistance level from the March and April highs.. A
prospective wave C move target would be approximately 168 if the current move is assumed to be B in nature. We are not suggesting a trade setup here but for
those who like the idea prospective stops would be at 175.63 & 174.52

GBPNZD Trade is Live. Buy stop to entry was triggered at 1.953. Current Stops at 1.928 and 1.94 Measured move targets at minimum at 2.00 and we suggest taking
off 3/4 of the total position if this is reached since the target 2 is beyond what we see feasible in the next move. Current weakness after breakout is dis heartening
but our stops are placed and we will see if this comes to fruition.
NZDJPY Very high ranking pattern symmetry. Clearly a 5 wave EW impulse with a Bat-Crab in between wave 3 and 5. When we get a high ranking Ew pattern
that also has a Harmonic relationship in the 35 wave termination points its a very high conviction trade setup. We recommend 200% normal position size for ag-
gressive traders. Sell stop to entry at 86.00, with stops at 92.98 & 93.99 respectively. Minimum expected targets are 78 and 70.
NZDUSD Sitting on nice profits here. Sell stop to entry was triggered on 4/11/2014 at 0.8635. Stops are now at 0.876 and 0.86 Potential targets include 0.8472 and
0.8150. Even though the trailing stops adjusted down since we think this top is still developing into a head and shoulders so we are going to leave them at last weeks
suggested levels. This is an example of a very rare occasion where will override the system during a live trade. If H&S pattern confirmed we will move stops lower
than ATR to compensate for time at risk added at this point.
USDCAD Nice turn from last weeks suggested bearish 5-0
USDSGD potential bullish Bat, PRZ not yet reached. I have measured out the typical wave 5 symmetry and its quite curious that it is very close to the bullish bat sup-
port on the larger term pattern setting up here.
Energy
WTI Crude Oil Trade is Live. 1/2 of the original trade position was taken off for profits at 99.00. Current stop for remaining 1/2 is at 102.28. Target 2 of 94.00 is next
place we will take profits if position is not stopped out before then.
Interest Rates
US Ten Year Treasury NoteBullish bat in early April supported the Head and Shoulders bottom pattern setting up here. A small long trade is suggested on a break of
the neck line at 125,05. If filled stops would be placed at 123,50 & 123,11. Measured move target is 128.
US 30 Year Treasury BondTrade is Live. Buy stop for a long entry was triggered on 5/1/2014. Weekly Reverse Head and Shoulders bullish breakout. Stops are at 132.
possible target measured move is 143.
US 30 Year Treasury BondDaily Look current up wave could find harmonic resistance at 138.04. we will move stops up tighter when this level is being tested.
Ultra Bond Daily Look
Indices
NASDAQ 100 Daily Look, Potential Gartley Resistance. Trade setup will be valid if PRZ is hit.
DJIA Daily Look, nice 1 : 1 ratio rhombus here. Double top right at the January major high swing. Also could be setting up a head and shoulders top. We are cur-
rently forming the right shoulder. If we see a reversal down a sell stop to entry could be recommended at 16290 for aggressive traders.
SHANG HAI INDEX Trade is live, Entry triggered at 2185. Stops are revised to 2184 for 1/2 and 2160 for 1/2.
Jakarta IndexUpdate : ENTRY Suggestion Not triggered yet. High ranking bearish Gartley pattern on the weekly scale. There is also nice symmetry inside the X and
C legs. This indicates there is some well behaved wave energy occurring in this market and should be high conviction trade. We recommend %150 bigger position
size than normal.
Bombay Sensex IndexUpdate : PRZ was hit on a bearish Bat Crab (1/2 way between). There is also high ranking symmetry in respect to the 5 wave sequence
that we labeled starting at the Harmonic A point. On a long term basic we feel like this market is way over extended and the potential retrace is quite substantial.
Sell stop to entry is suggested at 22000 with stops at 24133 & 23639. Minimum hold target would be 19000
Metals
Gold Weekly Possible bullish head and shoulders reversal pattern off of the Major harmonic support level zone. If neck line is breached at 1400 a small buy stop to
entry for long trade is recommended with stops at 1196 and 1153 respectively. Minimum measured move target would be 1650.
Silver Nice Bullish Bat setting up here . Suggested Buy stop entry 20.00 with stops at 1/2 @ 18.55, 1/2 @ 18.19 with Targets at 22 & 24. Also clear bullish three drives
pattern down here at the D zone.
Palladium Bearish Deep Crab. With nice structure rating. This complex three drives high suggests there is distribution up here at the PRZ. This could be a good
spread trade with Gold's bullish set up. If Gold and Silver fail support here it should drag this leader down. Suggested entry is a sell stop to short at 800 with targets of
770 and 720 to the down side. With stops at 857 and 846 for 1/2 of position. Since ATR is quite high right now it has pushed the stops a good distance away from PRZ
so a small position size is recommended.
Grains & Softs
Corn Clear three drives to a high pattern.
Soybeans Weekly There is two separate harmonic patterns here both with resistance PRZ at the 1520 +/- region. Clear ABC up swing suggests a new down im-
pulse should form. Suggested entry zone is 1440 for a sell stop to entry short. With stops at 1646 & 1604. Targets are the recent lows at 1280 and below at 1050.
Soybeans Daily LookReally good example of a Copsey modified elliott wave. With a clear 3 wave impulse for wave 1. Double top at 1520. see weekly chart for
trade setup.
Soybeans Oil Daily Look
Wheat Double Top
CoffeeBearish ALT bat. The pattern has a low structure ranking so we are not suggesting a trade. But we have plotted the suggested stop levels if you feel so in-
clined.
CocoaBearish Crab Pattern on the weekly scale. Nice structure rating here. This is a high probably trade set up. We recommend using 150% larger size on this
trade. Sell stop to entry short is 2866 with stops at 3150 and 3234. Targets are 2600 and 2200.
SDPR Sector ETFS
XLP Consumer Staples Three drive to a high top pattern here (1.618 and 1.272 ratio between highs) Also in the last 2 swings a bearish rhombus has formed with nice
price and time symmetry. Sell stop to entry at 43.50 with stops at 46.44 & 47.45. Target at 39 or EPA Line
XLU Utilities Three drive to a high top pattern here with a Bearish Butterfly as well. Also in the last 2 swings a bearish rhombus has formed with nice price and time
symmetry. Sell stop to entry short is suggested at 41.75 with stops at 45.76 and 44.99. Targets of 38 & 35 to the downside.

Methodology & Strategy
Harmonic any component of a periodic oscillation whose frequency is and integral multiple of the fundamental frequency.

The periods of neighboring waves in price action tend to be related by the small whole number. - J.M. Hurst

Our aim with this report is to only focus on identifying the best possible trading patterns that are occurring in any given market. We utilize a variety of algorithms to
find specific geometric ratio wave patterns that have favorable risk to reward projected movements. Most of our trades are harmonic patterns and ideal symmetry
elliott waves in the tradition of H.M. Gartley, Larry Pesavento, Ross Beck, Scott Carney, R.N. Elliot, Ian Copsey & Bryce Gilmore. We blend all the best nuances that
we have studied and thoroughly tested from each of the noted analysts and have also developed some proprietary tools of our own for trade qualification, entry
and management. In terms of Elliot Wave theory we analyze waves in isolation for our primary trading time periods (daily & weekly). We dont believe in the
subjective nature of manually counting elliott waves but rather only focusing on 5 and 3 wave patterns that have perfect symmetry in regards to time and price. In
essence we focus only on waves we recognize to have high probability fractal structures. Meaning only if specific geometric symmetry is identified we then
investigate for a trade entry point. When the market is creating wave fractals that are not amongst our high probability pattern repertoire no trade is taken or
forecasted.

Common Newsletter Nomenclature
Pattern RankOur proprietary measurement system ranks patterns based on many variables within the internal structure as well as the macro technical environment
(longer term waves & trend). We will highlight these patterns but if the rank is too low we will not recommend a trade.

PRZPotential Reversal Zone, is also defined as our clearly defined level that a pattern must reach / test at least once in order to qualify as a harmonic pattern

Pattern NamesBAT, BUTTERFLY, GARTLEY, GARFLY, CYPHER, SHARK, ALT BAT, CRAB, DEEP CRAB These labels refer to specific harmonic 5 point fractal structures
that appear in the markets. Please refer to the USER GUIDE here > http://aetheranalytics.com/images/AetherConspectusUserGuide.pdf or full specifics and details
for each pattern

Detrended OscillatorOne of the only 2 indicators we will refer to in our charts is the Detrended Oscillator this is a proprietary calculation and is very similar to
RVALUE indicator laid out by Mark W. Helweg & David C. Stendahl in there book Dynamic Trading Indicators. We have found this to be a great tool in analyzing the
over extending to the up and downside of a markets normal behavior. It is also very useful for finding divergence point between price and momentum.

Trade Management
We primarily recommend trades that have a minimum of 3 to 1 risk reward ratio. Initial risk (stop loss) levels we often util ize are (ATR 14, 1.618), (ATR 21, 1.272), (ATR
14, 2.5) (ATR 21, 3.0) from the entry price. Then a trailing stop from the current price is used with the ATR measures previously outlined. Entry technique is the only
somewhat subject process in our trading methodology. Users should always be aware that if a trade risk to reward ratio is less than 3:1 then the entry point, risk point
or minimum targets need to be revised. We always show 2 potential target areas for each trade. Once Target 1 has been reached we recommend at a minimum
putting the trade stop loss at break even. Typically we take 1/2 the position off at Target 1 and trail stops until target 2 is reached or we get stopped out.
Position Sizing

There are many different ways we suggest utilizing position sizing for your portfolio. For the purpose of this newsletter we will simply suggest our confidence rating in
the context of each trade. When we mention Normal position size this is size that you have determined to be most optimal position size for your specific risk
tolerance and trade management style. We will suggest 1/2 (50%) normal or 3/4 (75%) normal for trades we have slightly less confidence in & 6/4 (150%) or 8/4
(200%) for trades we have more confidence in. This is only a suggestion and should only be considered as opinion or commentary from us for each trade. We never
ever recommend betting the farm or going all in in any trade because it surely leads to ruin. One of our favorite Portfolio position sizing formulas that we
recommend is the following:

Percent Volatility Sizing -{ Position Size = (CE * %PE) / SV }- Where CE is the current account equity (NAV of portfolio, %PE is percentage of portfolio equity to
risk per trade (2%, 3% and 4% are recommended), SV is the stocks 14 day ATR
