Start learning Elliot Waves with some trading background knowledge or just straight trade with Elliot Wave theory?

We would all suggest you do basics of trading first. Elliot Waves is often thought and could be beneficial once you already know how to read charts from various trading views and timeframes. And jumping onto knowing it would just make you assume that most trading movement would be like Elliot Waves. But if you already have intermediate knowledge with trading and the market, I would suggest this YT video^[1] I watched the time I want to study and comprehend everything about Elliot Waves. Yet, if you are still starting to know everything about trading, I suggest you go start watching videos of C0TT0NC4NDYTA^[2] from his first videos upto the latest, as he teaches in-depth knowledge with regards to trading.
