<p>To use the Elliott wave theory in trading, traders first need to identify the current trend in the market. They can then use the theory to anticipate potential price movements by looking for patterns in the waves. The theory identifies five waves that make up the overall trend, with three in the direction of the trend (called impulse waves) and two against the trend (called corrective waves). By identifying these waves, traders can determine potential entry and exit points for trades, set stop-loss orders, and manage risk effectively.</p>
