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. As trade is developing we were glad to see a bearish

head and shoulders pattern at the top structure.

AUDCAD - Weekly— On the weekly scale the pattern is even more convincing for a reversal here. We have really nice ABC retracement symmetry within the Gartley pattern.

Wave C target possibility is 0.92 to 0.88. We suggest using the daily chart for execution.

AUDJPY - Trade was triggered on 4/15. 1/2 of the trade position was stopped out at 95.89 . The remaining stop is now at 96.54. Clear corrective type wave structure from A to D.

X is very impulsive, which should contribute to a well behaved reversal here. Targets remain 93 and 89.

AUDUSD- 1/2 of position was stopped out at 0.9355. Remaining position stops are now at 0.942. We suggest waiting for a break below Entry Zone 2 at 0.9214 before

adding or re-entering this trade. Analysis : Price bounced off the A C trendline, we could be making a wave 2 up retracement that would suggest a strong down

move if it breaks entry zone 2.

EURAUD - Trade is Live. 1/2 of position was stopped out at 1.47. 1/2 Buy stop entry triggered at 1.488. Pattern has now developed into a bullish bat so we have sug-

gested a new buy stop to entry level at 1.50. Clearly a nice area to get long with the prevailing trend. Current stop for remaining 1/2 @ 1.44, Minimum expected

target is 1.59. Risk is price breaks lower to complete a 5 wave impulse down. (see daily chart)

EURAUD daily - Trade is Live. Wave 5 leg pushed into BAT support. We have now labeled reentry levels at 1.50. If price reverses up and takes out the May high we

suggest adding back the 1/2 position that was stopped out from last week.

EURCAD—Bearish Head and shoulders confirmed. Measured move target possibility 1.44. Right shoulder is finding support at 1 : 0.618 ABC. Move down has poised a

very symmetrical ABC of 1 : 0.786. This zig zag formation could find support and reverse back over the next line. This pattern is more fit to our model and we will look

at a possible long trade if it breaks above the B level of 1.50. aggressive traders whom are short the H&S pattern should adjust stops down to minimize risk at this

point.

EURGBP Weekly—Possible bat support at 0.79. Weekly narrow range candle shows a balance here at the minimum PRZ.

EURGBP Daily—Low pattern rank bullish butterfly has been reached. No trade suggested. But for those whom are so inclined we have plotted suggested stops.

EURJPY—Trade is Live, Sell stop entry triggered 140. Stops are at 141.73 & 141.03. Measured move target 134. Analysis : Corrective Symmetrical triangle.

EURNZD—Weekly PRZ

EURTRY—Wave 5 underway. Possible 5th wave measures a typical move very close to Bullish Bat support near 2.75

EURUSD— Trade is Live. Sell stop entry triggered at 1.367. Stops at 1.422 and 1.406. Potential downside targets could be 1.24 or new lows long term. Weekly scale cor-

rective 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.

GBPAUD— Daily Look

GBPCAD— Complex head and shoulders pattern confirming. Measured move target 1.77

GBPJPY— bearish Rhombus confirmed . 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 pro-

spective 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. Cypher support at 169. and potential wave 3 measures 1.65 typical length.

GBPNZD— Trade fully stopped out at 1.9295

NZDJPY weekly— 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 3—5 wave termination points it’s a very high conviction trade setup. We recommend 200% normal position size

for aggressive traders. Sell stop to entry at 86.00, with stops at 92.98 & 93.99 respectively. Minimum expected targets are 78 and 70.

NZDJPY— Daily Look. Double top about to confirm here for weekly pattern.

NZDUSD— Previous Trade Fully Stopped out at 0.876. unfortunately our initial trade got fully stopped out and reversed right after. But we are going to stay systematic

and wait for a re entry out of the current broadening pattern since we think the harmonic setup is still valid. If sell top to entry fills at 0.85 our 2 targets would be 70%

of Broadening Pattern Measured move at 0.835and then 0.8150 harmonic target. Stops will be place at 0.881 and 0.876 if filled.

USDCAD— Nice turn from 2 weeks ago suggested bearish 5-0. Target still un reached.

USDMXD— possible 0.50 : 1.382 ABC Rhombus

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— 1/2 of the original trade position was taken off for profits at 99.00. remaining half of position stopped at breakeven 102.58.

Brent Weekly— Large scale symmetrical triangle.

Brent Daily— Fractals

Interest Rates

US Ten Year Treasury Note— Trade is Live. Buy stop entry triggered 125,05. 1/2 normal position size suggested. Current stops at 124.44 & 124.88. Measured move tar-

get is 128. Bullish bat in early April supported the Head and Shoulders bottom pattern.

US 30 Year Treasury Bond—Trade is Live. Buy stop for a long entry was triggered on 5/1/2014. Weekly Reverse Head and Shoulders bullish breakout. Stops are at

132.58 & 130.64. Possible target measured move is 143.

US 30 Year Treasury Bond—Daily Look current up wave could find harmonic resistance at 138.04. we will move stops up tighter when this level is being tested.

Indices

NASDAQ 100— Daily Look. But as the pattern is developing its clear that it is a Head and Shoulders top. The Neckline of this pattern is a “make or break” level mean-

ing if we test on the harmonic support and start to move higher a bullish move up through recent highs is expected. While if we get a confirmed break down below

neck line we suggest a small short trade, with sell stop to entry at 3400. If filled stops at right shoulder are suggested with a 3100 measured move target.

Russell 2000 Futures— Daily Look

SHANG HAI INDEX— Trade is live, Entry triggered at 2185. Stops are revised to 2166 for 1/2 and 2153 for 1/2.

VXX VXZ VIX — Volatility checkup—Spreads between VIX and VXX & VXZ are seeing a nice push to there lower Vol band boundaries. Also term structure is quite

steep. We think this will spring board volatility slightly higher and has put in floor for the term structure in the near term. No trade recommended.

Jakarta Index—Update : 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. Sell stop level revised higher to 4799. if triggered stops at 5381 & 5251 suggested.

Bombay Sensex Index—Update : PRZ was hit on a bearish Crab with a huge extension blow off top. There is also high ranking symmetry in respect to the 5 wave se-

quence 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 sub-

stantial. Sell stop to entry is suggested at 22077 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— Almost Triggered! 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— Trade is Live. Sell stop entry triggered 800. Stops are at 844 and 832.50 for 1/2 of the position for each. 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.

Platinum—Daily Look.

Copper—Daily Look Low structure ranking bearish Gartley. No Trade Recommended

Grains & Softs

Corn—Daily Look

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 impulse

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 Oil— Daily Look—

Wheat— Trade is Live. Sell stop to entry filled at 722.25. stops are now at 729.24 & 715.41. Target 1 almost achieved. Bearish butterfly reversal with 5 wave sequence

preceding pattern.

Cocoa— Trade is Live. Sell stop entry filled 2866. Stops are at 3172 & 3089. Bearish Crab Pattern on the weekly scale. Nice structure rating here. This is a high proba-

bly trade set up. We recommend using 150% larger size on this trade. Targets are 2600 and 2200.

Cotton—Daily Look

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 don’t 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 Rank—Our 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.

PRZ—Potential 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 Names—BAT, 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 Oscillator—One 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 utilize 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
