Part [A] Basic of Wave PrincipleElliott Wave background In the 1930s, R.N Elliott identified the price of the stock trends and reversed a specific pattern. This pattern is repetitive in form and, the patterns have predictive value. He decided to use this pattern (Elliott wave theory) to predict the market. The Elliott wave is not primarily a trading system. It is a detailed description of how the market acts. The Elliott wave is part of technical analysis. Also, the Wave principle is the reassembled form of dow theory. -Elliott Wave Principle The key To Market Behavior] Waves in the market? We all know that price never moves in a straight line. It will neither fall in a straight line nor rise in a straight line. Price will create highs and lows. And this high and low creates waves. Elliott wave theory is all about counting waves and, we are going to use the Elliott wave to trade the market. Now, the concept of waves is acceptable for you. Elliott wave theory is made of 5+3= 8 waves. Let me show you that structure in both trends. In bull market ( UP Trend ) : Figure 1.1 This is the Elliott wave structure in an uptrend. As we discussed, Elliott's wave theory is made up of 5+3=8 waves. Where five waves move with the trend and three waves move against the trend. In Bear market (downTrend) Figure 1.2 This is an example of Elliott wave theory in the Bear market. We can see that five waves move with the trend and, three waves move against the trend. Take a deep breath, I know you have lots of doubts in your mind. Let me solve some. 1. Elliott wave theory works in any time frame. 2. These 5+3=8 waves will give us a market edge. It will provide strong trends & trend reversals. 3. The accuracy of Elliott wave theory is 84% of you are using the wave principle correctly. Practical Example of Elliott wave theory : In the Bull market : Figure 1.3 This is the TATA MOTORS 4 hour timeframe chart. I used bar charts because It is easy to recognize Elliott's waves in bar Patterns. Well, it works for me to recognize if you feel that you can recognize patterns in another chart, go ahead with bar charts! In Bear Market: Figure 1.4: This is the ITC daily time frame chart. It shows the beautiful Elliott wave structure in the Bear market. Elliott wave structure : Now, we all know that Elliott is made of a 5+3= 8 wave structure. So, Let's start getting into it! To understand the wave principle, we have divided the wave structure (5+3=8) into two Phases which are an Impulse phase/structure & a corrective phase/structure. Figure 1.5 This picture illustrates Two phases of the Elliott wave principle. The impulse phase is made up of 5 waves and, the corrective phase is made up of 3 waves. Figure 1.6: This picture divides the wave principle into two phases. 1. Impulse phase/structure ( which includes five waves and, which moves with the trend you can see in bull market impulse phase is going upward and in a bear market, impulse phase is going down which is directional move.) & 2. Corrective Phase/structure ( which includes three waves and which moves against the trend, you can see that in bull market corrective phase is going downward and In bear markets, the corrective phase is going upward, which is a counter-trend move. Figure 1.7 , Elliott wave has 2 phases. motive/Impulse phase ( directional move ) and corrective phase(counter trend move). We can divide these 2 phases into two types of waves. Impulsive waves and corrective waves. Let’s zoom in on the impulse phase to understand the underlying structure and wave behavior. Motive/Impulse Phase : Important things about the impulse phase 1). Motive/Impulse phase is a Five wave structure that includes wave1,2,3,4 & 5. 2). motive/Impulse phase is a directional move ( moves with the trend.) 3). The Ending point of the impulse phase is the starting point of the corrective phase. 4). motive/Impulse structure is powerful than corrective structure. 5) Impulse phase can divide into two types of waves i) Impulse waves: 1, 3,5 ( move with Trend of impulse Phase ) ii) Corrective waves: 2,4 ( Moves against the trend of Impulsive Phase) Let me give you a quick understanding because we are going to cover these waves in-depth, Impulsive waves are trend-following moves. We can find this type of wave structure in both phases. Impulsive waves create trends. Impulsive waves are (1,3,5,A,C). Corrective waves are counter-Trend moves. We can find this type of wave structure in both phases. Corrective waves provide pause to continue the trend, Corrective waves : (2,4,B) Motive/Impulse Phase in Bull market Figure 1.8(A) , wave 1,3,5 is an impulsive wave of impulse phase because The trend of impulse phase up and, Impulsive wave are following the trend and heaving upward move. And wave 2,4 is the corrective wave of an impulse phase because the trend of the impulse phase is up but, the corrective wave is moving down, which is against the trend. Figure 1.8(B) , wave 1,3,5 is an impulsive wave of impulse phase because the trend of Motive/impulse phase down and Impulsive wave are following trend and heaving downward move. And Wave 2,4 is the corrective wave of an impulse phase because the trend of the Impulse phase is down but, the corrective wave is moving upward, which is against the trend. Corrective Phase/structure : Important things about the impulse phase 1). The Corrective Phase is a three-wave structure that includes waves A, B, C. 2). The corrective phase is a counter-trend move ( moves against the trend.) 3). The Ending point of the corrective phase is the starting point of the Impulse phase. 4) correction phase can divide into two types of waves i) Impulse waves: A, C ( move with Trend of correction Phase ) ii) corrective waves: B ( moves against Trend of correction Phase ) Corrective Phase in a bull market: Figure 1.9(A) : wave A, C is the impulsive wave of the Correction phase because the trend of the correction phase is down and Impulsive waves are following the trend and heaving downward move. And Wave B is the corrective wave of a Correction phase because the trend of the Corrective Phase is down but, the corrective wave is moving upward which is against the trend. Figure 1.9(B): wave A, C is the impulsive wave of the Correction phase because the trend of correction phase Up and Impulsive waves are following the trend and heaving Upward move. And Wave B is the corrective wave of a Correction phase because the trend of the Corrective Phase is Up but, the corrective wave is moving down, which is against the trend. Impulsive wave structure: 1. Impulsive waves are directional moves that are bigger than corrective waves. 2. Impulsive waves create trends. 3. Impulsive waves are subdivided into five waves. ( that means wave 1,3,5, A, C which moves with the trend will have five sub-waves.) 4. Impulsive waves are easy to recognize. (Impulsive waves can also be called motive waves) 5. Ride of impulsive wave can give us a high probability trade setup with high Rewards We are going to cover impulsive wave formations in the next part. (diagonals,extensions,Impulse,Truncation) Figure 1.10: As we discussed, Impulsive waves subdivide into five waves. Here wave 1,3,5, A, C has five subwaves which you can see in the chart. See you in the next part. @forextidings

How to Count Waves Using Chart Patterns?We can count waves using traditional patterns like Head and shoulders, Double Top and Bottom, Triangle, cup & handle, etc. This article is about how you can count waves by identifying chart patterns. I have covered Three chart patterns in this article, 1) Triangles 2) Head and shoulders 3) Double Top and Bottom 1) Head and shoulders: In addition, the two lows formed when the price failed to rise and fell back down were basically at the same level. The horizontal line is often referred to as the "neckline" When the price fails to fall back for the third time neckline will break. So "head and shoulders" was officially established. Changes in volume with head and shoulders: During the formation of "head and shoulders", the left shoulder has the largest volume, the Head has a slightly smaller volume, and the right shoulder has the smallest volume. The phenomenon of diminishing trading volume shows that when the stock price rises, the chasing force is getting weaker and weaker, and the price has the meaning of rising to the end. Operation plan after the Head and shoulders appear: When the head and shoulders formed, you can decisively follow up the short order. The formation of the head and shoulders indicates the beginning of a new round of decline in the market, and the minimum drop is the distance from the head to the neckline. The profit is very substantial. Therefore, studying the formation of the Head and Shoulders is also a necessary analysis process for band enthusiasts. Wave Count: The left shoulder: wave 3/A. The first touch on the neckline: wave 4/B Head: wave 5/C The second touch on the neckline: wave A/1 The right shoulder: wave B/2 The ending point of the right shoulder: wave C/3 2) Triangles: These are the most commonly used triangle patterns. In this motion, we are going to understand the triangle in terms of the Elliot wave. We'll be talking about the classical triangle pattern in an upcoming educational series. Wave Count: A triangle forms in corrective waves. There are Four corrective waves in Elliott wave theory. The corrective waves are 2,4, B, and X. There are four waves in a triangle which are A, B, C, D, E. The starting point of wave A of the triangle is the ending point of impulsive wave 1/3/A/W. After the completion of wave E of wave 1/3/A/W, the Impulsive wave will initiate. 3) Double Tops and Bottom: In the chart, you can sometimes see the stock price fluctuations. The stock price fell back after reaching the highest price. After some sorting, it rose again to near the previous stock price level and then fell back. Two "normally highs" The high point is formed on the circuit diagram and will not be seen again in the short term. Wave Count: In a Bull market, The first Top of the pattern represents the completion of the impulsive wave. The ending point of the Impulsive wave is the starting point of the corrective wave. I started the wave count from the first Top and labeled it as A, B, and C waves. In a Bear Market, The first Bottom of the pattern represents the completion of the impulsive wave. The ending point of the Impulsive wave is the starting point of the corrective wave. I started the wave count from the first Bottom and labeled it as A, B, and C waves. After wave C is complete, we can ride the impulsive waves.

Depth of corrective waves. Elliott Wave.Elliott Wave Guidelines: Depth of Corrective Waves Understanding Elliott Waves is much more then the basic rules and 3s and 5s. A largely underused aspect of Elliott Waves is the Elliott Wave Guidelines. These go beyond the guidelines for each specific pattern and are meant to assist in determining the most probabilistic wave pattern. This is just the primary guideline of this larger Elliott Wave guideline. If you have found this inspiring/helpful, please consider a boost and follow!

ELLIOTT WAVES and REAL CHART RUNE ANALYSISElliott Wave Theory Interpretation The Elliott Wave Theory is interpreted as follows: Five waves move in the direction of the main trend, followed by three waves in a correction (totaling a 5-3 move). This 5-3 move then becomes two subdivisions of the next higher wave move. The underlying 5-3 pattern remains constant, though the time span of each wave may vary. Let's have a look at the following chart made up of eight waves (five net up and three net down) labeled 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, A, B, and C. Waves 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 form an impulse, and waves A, B and C form a correction. The five-wave impulse, in turn, forms wave 1 at the next-largest degree, and the three-wave correction forms wave 2 at the next-largest degree. The corrective wave normally has three distinct price movements – two in the direction of the main correction (A and C) and one against it (B). Waves 2 and 4 in the above picture are corrections. These waves typically have the following structure: Wave Degrees Elliott identified nine degrees of waves, which he labeled as follows, from largest to smallest: [ *]Grand Super Cycle Super Cycle Cycle Primary Intermediate Minor Minute Minuette Sub-Minuette

The Trend is Your Friend: Basic Elliott Waves ExplainedIn this post, I'll be providing an in-depth explanation on Elliott Waves, specifically Impulse Waves and Corrective Waves. I personally use Elliott Waves a lot, and as it seems like the majority of my followers are beginner traders unfamiliar with the concept of waves, I decided to do an educational post on it. The concept of Elliott Wave Counts are extremely technical and advanced, so in this post, I'll only be going over the two most common waves: The Impulse and Corrective Waves Elliott Waves Background Information The Elliott Wave Theory was named after Ralph Nelson Elliott, who concluded that the movement of assets could be predicted by observing and identifying a repetitive pattern of waves. He was able to identify specific characteristics of wave patterns, making detailed predictions based on the patterns. Very simply put, the direction of a trend unfolds in 5 waves (impulse waves) and any correction against the trend takes place in 3 waves (corrective waves). The 5 impulse waves are labelled ‘12345’, and the corrective waves are labelled ‘abc’. *A bear market would show a downward trend, indicating that we’d see five waves down, and three waves up. Smaller patterns can be identified within bigger patterns. As demonstrated in the diagram above, we can see that the impulse and corrective waves in green, are combined to form a larger wave in black, which is also part of a larger wave in red. In technical terms, this is the classification of wave degrees. On Tradingview, the smallest to largest, the degree goes as follows: Miniscule, Submicro, Micro, Subminuette, Minuette, Minute, Minor, Intermediate, Primary, Cycle, Supercycle, Grand Supercycle, Submillennium, Millennium, Supermillennium. The idea of using smaller patterns fit into bigger patterns, can be coupled with the Fibonacci relationship of the waves, offering insight on optimal levels of trade opportunities, and calculations of risk reward ratios (RRR). What are Fibonacci levels? Simply put, Fibonacci levels are a series of numbers discovered by Leonardo Fibonacci, in which a golden ratio (1.681) is derived by dividing a Fibonacci number with another previous Fibonacci number. The Golden Ratio derived through the Fibonacci can be found in predictable patterns in nature from atoms to huge stars in the sky, as nature uses this ratio to maintain balance. Such ratios are very commonly found in the financial markets as well. Elliott Impulse Waves (12345) The Elliott Impulse Wave, which unfolds in 5 waves, has a few guidelines in terms of the rules that must be kept, and references to the Fibonacci ratio. - An Impulse Wave can be subdivided into 5 waves (For instance, the black wave in the diagram is subdivided into smaller green waves) - Wave 1, 3, and 5 are impulsive. - Wave 2 cannot retrace more than the beginning of wave 1 - Wave 3 cannot be the shortest wave of the three impulse waves - Wave 4 cannot retrace below the peak of wave 1 - Wave 5 needs to end with a momentum divergence - In terms of Fibonacci ratios, there is not set answer, but there are some references we need to keep in mind: - Wave 2 is 0.5, 0.618, 0.764, 0.854 of Wave 1 - Wave 3 is 1.618, 2, 2.618, or 3.236 of Wave 1-2 - Wave 4 is 0.146, 0.236, or 0.382 of Wave 3, but no more than 0.5 - Wave 5 can be the inverse 1.23611.618 retracement of wave 4, or 0.618 of wave 1-3, or equal to wave 1. Elliott Corrective Waves (ABC) When referring to corrective waves, this can include the use of other wave counts. In this post, we’ll be specifically looking at a corrective count also known as the Zigzag. - A Zigzag is a corrective 3 waves structure that is counted as ABC - Subdivision of Wave A and C comes in 5 waves - A Zigzag is a 5-3-5 structure (In the diagram above, we can see the black Zigzag waves, which consist of a 5-3-5 wave count in green) - Wave B is 0.5, 0.618. 0.764, or 0.854 of wave A - Wave C is 0.618, 1, or 1.236 of wave A - If wave C is 1.618 of wave A, it can either be a 3 or 5 waves count. Application We can take a look at Bitcoin’s weekly chart as an example of how Elliott Waves work. While I haven’t included the specific counts for simplicity sake, it provides a good idea of how the market moves. Overall, we can clearly see that the trend is bullish. However, prices don’t always shoot straight up without stopping. It breaks out, corrects slightly, and breaks out again. The repetition of impulse waves, and smaller corrective waves, is what completes the uptrend. This is why ‘buying the dip’ is a smart move during a bull market. Corrections are inevitable even in the most bullish market, and taking into consideration the fact that the trend is your friend, such corrections would merely be a buying opportunity. Almost all assets take one step back for two steps forward. This is how the market works according to the Elliott Wave Theory. Limitations Elliott Waves have a critical weakness: it’s extremely subjective. Even while looking at the same chart, traders can count different waves, as it’s difficult to pinpoint the beginning or end of a wave. As with many other tools in predicting the market, it seems that the most common case is that traders are almost 100% accurate, or completely wrong. As such, I personally like to use this tool merely as a reference in weighing out probable scenarios, rather than solely relying on my rather subjective wave count. Final Remarks I tried to dissect the basics of the Elliott Wave theory in this post. The concept itself is extremely advanced, and the explanation I provided above is merely the tip of the iceberg. Understanding Elliott Waves, while it’s not a silver bullet in trading, can help traders understand the overall trend, identify probable scenarios, and calculate optimal risk reward ratios based on wave targets. If you like this analysis, please make sure to like the post, and follow for more quality content! I would also appreciate it if you could leave a comment below with some original insight.

Elliott Wave Patterns & Fibonacci Relationships Reference GuideElliott Wave Theory attempts to identify recurring price movements within financial markets and to classify them into a set of meaningful patterns, which can become a reliable tool for future price predictions. The underlying principle is that price-action unfolds via an endless alternation between trending and corrective cycles, while producing this effect on any relative timescale (Fractality) . Elliott Wave (EW) price patterns are divided into  motive waves   (i.e. price movements that initiate progress in one direction and therefore create trend) and  corrective waves   (i.e. price movements that are reactionary in relation to the previous trend-setting move) . Corrective waves essentially attempt to revert or undo the movement that was initiated by the preceding motive wave. How to use this guide This EW reference guide provides an idealized drawing for each EW pattern, including a visualization of the most important internal wave size relationships. The images highlight the most common wave retracement and extension targets in red, followed by the next most common targets in orange, followed by the least common targets in grey. Important Concepts To Remember Before Applying EW Counts Wave Degrees Elliott Waves are labeled in different degrees that are nested within each other due to the fractal nature of price movements. Please refer to your Elliott Wave drawing software for the appropriate names and symbols used for each officially defined degree. Alternatively, you may simply label different degrees with different-colored labels on your chart. Alternation   (“expect a difference in the next expression of a similar pattern”) : EW patterns have the tendency to create alternation within them. This is reflective of nature’s general propensity towards dynamic balance. Following is a list of the main occurrences of alternation: Alternation of corrective waves: If wave 2 is sharp (i.e. zigzag or extended zigzag) and deep (i.e. deep in the sense of how much it retraces the preceding wave 1), then wave 4 will most likely going to be sideways (flat, combination, or triangle) and shallow relative to wave 3. The same applies in reverse but is less common. This is because triangles (which only appear during wave 4 inside a motive wave) are considered to be alternating to all other corrective patterns. That means even if wave 2 is a shallow sideways correction, a triangle can still appear in wave 4, but it is less likely. Alternation also occurs in terms of wave complexity. If a potential bigger complex correction starts out simple at first, then expect complexity to increase during the following parts of the correction (i.e. simple-complex-most complex). The reverse can also apply (i.e. most complex-complex simple) but it is more rare. Alternation of motive waves : If wave 1 is short, then wave 3 is likely to be extended, and wave 5 likely to be short again. If wave 1 is extended, then wave 3 and 5 are most likely not extended. If neither wave 1 nor wave 3 is extended, then wave 5 probably will be extended. If wave 3 is extremely long and overstretched, wave is 5 more in danger of being truncated. Balanced Proportions (“The Right Look”) : It is important that waves within a 5-wave or 3-wave sequence show reasonably balanced proportions to each other… not just in terms of size/magnitude (which can generally be verified by Fibonacci retracement and extension ratios), but also in terms of  time duration . This balancing can occur either via alternation and/or via equality. Consider the following as an example for ‘balance through alternation’ : an impulse is showing a classic deep and short-lived wave 2, plus a shallow but time-lengthy wave 4. The time-lengthiness of wave 4 is in balance with the depth of wave 2, while the shallowness of wave 4 is in balance with the short-lived nature of wave 2, thereby creating balance through alternation. The same need for balance applies for any motive waves within a 5-wave sequence (i.e. 1,3, and 5). The exception however will be the potentially extended wave within the sequence. It can/will be much larger in terms of magnitude and time than the other four waves, but the sub-waves (inside the extended wave) must show a balance to each other. The extended wave will also express relatedness to the other waves of the sequence by the angle of the overall price movement (that’s why impulsive motive waves travel quite neatly within parallel channel lines most of the time, even if one of the waves is extended). Consider the following as an example for ‘balance through equality AND alternation’ . Wave 1 and 5 of an impulse sequence are equal in size and duration (equality), while wave 3 is extended (alternation to waves 1 and 5). Alarm bells should be going off when a potential wave 4 is starting to grow out of proportion in terms of size and duration relative to the other waves of the same degree. It is dangerous to disregard the factor of balanced proportions during wave counting. Disproportionate and misshapen patterns should be seriously questioned. The ‘right look’ may not be evident at all degrees of trend simultaneously, so it is best to focus on the degrees that are the clearest.

Philakone is MAD! Know your ELLIOT WAVE-Theory now! Dear Friends! D4rkEnergy is back with an educational post about Elliot Wave-Theory. Yesterday, Philakone, a famous crypto-trader and TA-educator, was calling out one of the Top Authors in here, because he could not figure out how to draw lines. Philakone wrote the following on Twitter: "How to NOT draw Elliot Waves. it blows me away... this guy has one of the highest reputations on tradingview, and his elliot wave is shit. Ignoring the most BASIC rule of elliot wave in zig zags..." D4 is not here to create drama. D4 is not here to get enemies. D4 is only here to spread love and wisdom. He wants everyone to have success, therefore he decided to make this basic guide to Elliot Wave Theory. It is pretty complex if we go into the smallest details, but let us keep it basic for now. We are here looking at the 30 min BTCUSD Chart. ELLIOT WAVE THEORY Ralph Nelson Elliott developed the Elliott Wave Theory in the late 1920s. He believed that stock markets was traded in repetitive waves and cycles. According to Investopedia this method gained popularity in the 1970s. Traders try to identify these waves and patterns, because it can help them predict the market. - 1 Cycle contains in total of 8 waves. 5 waves (1-5), which follows the trend, and then a correction pattern A, B, C. We also call this a 5-3 pattern. - Wave 1, 3, and 5 are impulse waves up - 2 and 4 are correction waves down - A, B, C are the correction As you can see, Inside every wave we can have smaller waves, also called sub waves. Basic rules: 1. Wave 4 always have to be above wave 1. 2. Wave 3 can never be the shortest. If these rules are broken, we have what we call an Elliot Wave failure. And therefore it is not a real Elliot Wave Cycle. This was a really short introduction. D4 encourage you guys to dig deeper into this! D4 loves you <3 And as always. Please follow D4 and give a LIKE, if you liked the analysis. It is much appreciated. Thanks in advance, my friends!

Elliot waves. Why cant fully trust this theory. You can find many websites, even free books of Elliot Waves Theory. But if you read it by on eye, can understand its kind of shamanistic predictions. law of the universe - from small to big, law of complication and development. To build waves, should start from max. minimum time frame -1 min. than 1 min group in 5-15 min, than to 30 min, 30 min group to 1 hour, 1 hour to 4-8, and than to daily. the waves are divided into 10 degrees, *subminute, *minute ,*minor , *intermediate, *primary, *cycle, *supercycle, * grand cycle.Depending on the source, there may be different names and divisions, but the essence is about 10 of them. The length of the wave depends on the length of the previous wave, this is calculated by Fibonacci extensions. The waves can contain impulses and elongations, the waves can be lateral or the extensions can be pulses. And the main thing is how to understand this all. Where the exact coordination of movement, measurement, distribution ,. what if to miss? Suddenly it was an impulse but I built it like a wave, maybe it was an extension in wave 3, or is it ABC? in general, you understand that this algorithm is based on your personal judgments and experience, and from those sources that you used in studying waves. When this system of construction attends 2-3 internationally recognized postulates, then it is worth starting to study it. Now it all depends on who and how he sees, and you can prove that there is no way, but skolko people, so many opinions. Not waves determine the movement of prices, but people, their judgments, analysis, the market's opinion of the traded instrument, the conclusions based on previous levels of support and resistance and the general trend. Now the theory of waves is a guessing on the coffee grounds and dancing with tambourines around the fire under the starry sky.

[EW COURSE] FLAT CORRECTIONTYPES FLAT CORRECTION WAVES: There are three predominant types of flat corrective waves. These include: Expanded flat: This is arguably the most common flat wave formation and occurs in the second and fourth wave of an impulse wave. What connects the expanded wave to the initial impulse wave is a zigzag or other types of triple or double connection. In a bullish market, the price of the underlying asset moves against the trend to form a 3-wave shape. In an expanded flat wave, wave B also appears in a 3-wave structure and goes beyond the start of wave A, while wave C extends beyond the end of wave A. The expanded wave is also known as an irregular flat although this term can be misleading as the expanded wave appears more often than other types of waves. Regular flat: In a regular flat correction, wave B ends slightly at the start of the wave A while wave C ends just beyond the end of wave A. Running flat: A running flat wave is a 3-3-5 wave. Here, wave B terminates past the start of A wave and C stops almost close to the end of wave A. The formation of a running flat is quite rare. The difference between the expanded flat and the running flat is the point at which wave C stops. In an expanded flat, Wave C ends beyond the end of wave A. All in all, each type of corrective flat is essentially an ABC wave with a 3-3-5 sub-waves or configuration. It is also important to note that these types of corrective flats go against the trend of the impulse wave, one degree higher. Thank you for your support! HARMONIC CORRELATION

[EW COURSE] LEANDING DIAGONAL TRIANGLESThe diagonal triangle is a particular type of wave composed of Five minor movements that move within two trendlines, both ascending (or descending), converging in the direction of main trend. Diagonal triangles substitute for impulses at specific locations in the wave structure. They are the only five-wave structures in the direction of the main trend within which Wave 4 almost always moves into the price territory of (i.e., overlaps) Wave 1. This pattern we like very much!! ...and we use it on 30' and H1 TF.

[AUDUSD] HOW CAN CHANGE/CONTINUE A TREND (educational)Technically speaking, it should sell audusd below 0.7334 (max wave 4), but potentially the pair could reach the resistance at 0.7385, if it will happens, the trend will remain bearish only if it will develop a spyke with a daily close below 0.7334. A daily close above 0.7334, it will fail the bearish impulsive structure. This is not "a call" for you, but only an "educational chart"!

Trading Elliott Waves with Fib PinballFor my newer followers or those that missed this post previously, here's a generic trade plan explaining all those horizontal lines on my charts. Notes on the image should be self-explanatory. Minor and minute waves are shown, but this method can be used on any time scale / Elliott Wave degree. Learn more about trading Fibonacci Pinball from the pros at www.ElliottWaveTrader.net This method primary considers price as that is what most traders are concerned with anyhow. The aim is to catch the 3rd wave which is the most powerful and profitable wave to trade. Technical indicators such as MACD, RSI, Stoch RSI, etc, are considered primary to confirm the wave count. For example, momentum indicators will become embedded in a 3rd wave, often not resetting until the move is largely over. MACD may see divergences as a move nears completion; wave v of 3 may have a lower MACD reading than wave iii of 3. Likewise, wave c of 2 may exhibit positive divergence, having a higher MACD reading than wave a of 2. These fingerprints add confidence to the Elliot Wave count but are not required. Price objectives are paramount, and as always, trade safe using a defined plan of your own with STOPS. Trend lines, channels, etc may be included to estimate timing, but this is not a timing system. For example, 4th waves are frequently complicated corrections and difficult to predict. A correction may, for example, take place in time instead of price . In such cases, the price correction can be shallow while time drags on longer than initially anticipated. I try to draw my targets with relatively reasonable time objectives, but often find myself moving the wave labels when price and pattern seem to fulfill their objective. Note: Ignore the symbol, time axis, and price (hidden). I merely used this chart as a drawing space.
