IS,

<In terms of looking at a chart prior to a trade, you would like to see a pattern of higher highs and higher lows once the first higher high and higher low has been made>

Now..the problem with that logic if you use any eyeball EWT (which isn't a bad practice for experienced traders) is that the strategy gets you into the uptrend on a 5th wave, which tends to be the last of the series and least dependable of the three. If you hit the parabola, you're OK but it's just as easy to print a failure move.
