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.
Appendix
These standing wave patterns represent the lowest energy vibrational modes of the object or complex system. While there are countless way by which an object
can vibrate (each associated with a specific frequency), objects favor only a few specific modes or patterns of vibrating. The favored modes (patterns) of vibration
are those which result in the highest amplitude vibrations with the least input of energy. -AE
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
