Welcome To Our Newest EWT Analyst

In order to help Mike in the VIX and Index Sector Trading Service , I am proud to introduce you to the newest staff member at Elliottwavetrader – Lou Alfieri, known within the community as CapSix (Lou).  We are excited to announce Lou joining our team to assist with enhanced trade management for this service. This new feature is designed to provide members with a simplified approach to trade entries and exits, addressing a gap for those seeking clearer guidance in managing their trades.

A New Approach to Trade Management

Since its inception over six years ago, the VIX and Index Sector Trading Service has provided members with strategic entry setups while allowing flexibility in exit strategies and risk management. While many members have successfully navigated this approach, some have sought a more structured and simplified method for managing trades and growing their accounts over the long term.

Market fluctuations are inevitable, with both winning and losing streaks. However, with proper risk management and consistency, many of our members have achieved significant success over the years. One such member is Lou.

We are proud to announce that Lou has officially joined the team to bridge this gap, offering expert guidance on trade entries, exits, and risk management strategies.

What Lou Brings to the Service

With Lou’s expertise, members will have the opportunity to mirror his trade entries, exits, and position sizing, providing a more structured and steady approach to account growth. While Mike’s trade setup postings will remain unchanged, Lou has optimized a long-term growth strategy based on his six years of experience with the service. His conservative approach emphasizes:

• Strategic position sizing
• Disciplined exits
• Layered risk management

This method offers a slow and steady path to compounding returns while keeping account draw down low, ideal for those looking for consistent, long-term account growth.

Additionally, Lou will contribute educational articles to the service, explaining his methodologies and strategies in depth. As we approach a potential long-term market top, we believe that this structured approach will be invaluable in helping members navigate both rising and falling markets.

Key Benefits of the VIX and Index Sector Trading Service

• Low Maintenance – Ideal for Part-Time Traders
  • Our goal is four trades per month, though this may vary with market conditions. This structure allows part-time traders to stay engaged with the market while managing their time efficiently.
• Easy-to-Follow Setups
  • We use simple buy and sell option strategies that anyone can follow, making trading more accessible.
• Growth Potential in Any Market
  • Our strategy is based on Elliott Wave analysis, enabling us to identify opportunities in both bullish and bearish markets.
• Portfolio Risk Management
  • By primarily using options-based setups, risk is clearly defined in advance. By only using a small percentage of the total portfolio value, the overall portfolio account risk is mitigated at any given point in time.

Whether the market is trending up or down, this service will now provide a structured approach to risk and trade management, helping traders achieve steady, long-term growth. We’re excited about this next step in our evolution and look forward to helping our members succeed with Lou’s expertise and guidance.  This will now provide our members with the needed missing element to this exceptional service.  So, please join us in this service, or feel free to re-join us in this service, which will now have the handholding for which our members have been requesting.  

And, please help me welcome Lou to our team of analysts at EWT.
