About Steve Griffiths
Steve Griffiths started professional life as a Mechanical Engineer qualified to U.K. degree level. Dissatisfied with engineering, however, he started trading privately in 1987, managing his own trading fund. Over time, his main focus shifted entirely towards trading and he left the engineering profession in 1988. Steve then concentrated on professional trading, generating trading profits as his main income source.
Over years of extensive research (combining his engineering and mathematical background) into trading programs and techniques, he discovered what worked for him in his own trading. Finding an ‘edge’ in real day-to-day trading was the main quest. Steve realized that although back-tested and complicated analysis techniques were freely available, typically they promised more than they delivered. A simpler, consistently focused approach to trading often produced better results.
This became the core of Steve’s research – to discover and refine the most reliable techniques into a simple, profitable trading process. It was by stripping away over-complicated analysis, avoiding forecasting that such an approach began to emerge. Going back to basics, the aim was clear: to identify a high probability trade set-up.
- allowing trade entry with a small, controlled risk
- then applying simple, consistent trade management techniques
- to yield trades that, on average, deliver profits far in excess of the losses
Trading then became a matter of being able to consistently find, assess and manage these trade set-ups.
The tool Steve chose was Elliott Wave analysis….. But, using his own isolation approach that he developed to cope with the main pitfalls that existed in more traditional analysis approaches. This web site will take you through Steve’s journey outlining Elliott Wave theory, and then lead onto how to use Steve’s unique isolation approach in today’s markets….
