Experience
Eduardo Mirahyes's investment experience spans 25 years, from portfolio manager at a Major Wall Street "value" Firm, to running a small hedge fund.
When the Market Crashed in 1987, Mr. Mirahyes was vice president and portfolio manager at value-oriented GAMCO Investors in New York City, the top-ranking money manager in the country at the time. In the aftermath of the Crash, the value of assets under management dropped nearly 30%, and clients representing one third of the assets closed their accounts.
He began that quest by studying the Great Depression and and after several years arrived tangentially at Market Wizards and its sequel, Market Wizards II. The only common thread between five of the top traders was the Elliott Wave Principle applied either as a primary or confirmatory tool. By 1990 Mr. Mirahyes had enrolled in the Basic Elliott Wave Course taught by Elliott Wave International in Gainsville, Georgia. When the course materials arrived, they included a set of video tapes containing the the entire basic course, which he studied diligently for a month. By the time he arrived in Gainsville, he knew enough to skip the basic course and go right into the advanced tutorial, giving him a year's head start on the Advanced Tutorial which was offered only once a year.To date Mr. Mirahyes is the only one who has ever skilpped the basic course, and gone directly into the advanced tutorial.
For the next several years he charted the indices real-time on the 1-minute charts to gain the equivalent of 20 years experience on the hourly charts. He also read every book put out by Elliott Wave International (EWI) and returned to Gainsville several times for symposiums and a dedicated trading course. While many amateur practitioners apply Elliott, few can match Eduardo's aptitude for pattern recognition, his thoroughness or his experience for successfully applying the wave principle.
