Elliott Wave [LuxAlgo]The Elliott Wave indicator allows users to detect Elliott Wave (EW) impulses as well as corrective segments automatically on the chart. These are detected and displayed serially, allowing users to keep track of the evolution of an impulse or corrective wave.
Fibonacci retracements constructed from detected impulse waves are also included.
This script additionally allows users to get alerted on a wide variety of trigger conditions (see the ALERTS section below).
🔶 SETTINGS
🔹 Source
• "high" -> options high, close, maximum of open/close
• "low" -> options low, close, minimum of open/close
🔹 ZigZag
• The source and length are used to check whether a new Pivot Point is found.
Example:
• source = high/low, length = 10:
• There is a new pivot high when:
- previous high is higher than current high
- the highs of 10 bars prior to previous high are all lower
• These pivot points are used to form the ZigZag lines, which in their turn are used for pattern recognition
🔶 USAGE
The basic principles we use to identify Elliott Wave impulses are:
• A movement in the direction of the trend ( Motive/Impulse wave ) is divided in 5 waves (Wave 1 -> 5)
• The Corrective Wave (against the trend) is divided in 3 waves (Wave A -> C)
• The waves can be subdivided in smaller waves
• Wave 2 can’t retrace more than the beginning of Wave 1
• Wave 4 does not overlap with the price territory of Wave 1
Here we see an example:
Let's look at the development:
• 1 bar after point (5) a confirmed 5 Motive Wave pattern is found (1 -> 5; The 5 Waves can also be seen as one large Wave 1 ).
• Next, the script draws a set of Fibonacci lines, which are area's where the Corrective Wave potentially will bounce.
Here we see the fifth wave is getting larger, the previous highest point is updated, and the Wave 5 is larger than Wave 3 :
(At this point, the pattern is invalidated, and it display as dotted)
Further progression in time:
At this point, a confirmed " 3 Corrective Wave pattern " is found (a -> c)
When a new high has developed, a circle is drawn (in the same color of the lines)
However, when the bottom of the drawn box has breached, a red cross will be visualized.
Further progression:
Later on, a bearish confirmed " 5 Motive Wave pattern " is found (1 -> 5):
When a Corrective Wave becomes invalidated, the ABC pattern will display as dashed (not dotted):

🔶 ALERTS
Dynamic alerts are included in the script, you only need to set 1 alert to receive following messages:
• When a new EW Motive Pattern is found (Bullish/Bearish )
• When a new EW Corrective Pattern is found (Bullish/Bearish )
• When an EW Motive Pattern is invalidated (Bullish/Bearish )
• When an EW Corrective Pattern is invalidated (Bullish/Bearish )
• When possible, a start of a new EW Motive Wave is found (Bullish/Bearish )
• Here is information how you can set these alerts()

Elliot Wave - ImpulseLets dabble a bit into Elliot Waves.
This is a simple script which tries to identify Wave 1 and 2 of Elliot Impulese Wave and then projects for Wave 3.
Ratios are taken from below link: elliottwave-forecast.com - Section 3.1 Impulse
Wave 2 is 50%, 61.8%, 76.4%, or 85.4% of wave 1 - used for identifying the pattern.
Wave 3 is 161.8%, 200%, 261.8%, or 323.6% of wave 1-2 - used for setting the targets
Important input parameters
Length : Zigzag Length. Keep the numbers low if you are looking for smaller and shorter trades. Keep the numbers high if you are looking for longer and bigger trades.
Error Percent : Adjustments for ratios as it is not always possible to find exactly equal retracement ratio.
Entry Percent : Once Wave 2 is formed, entry is set after reversing 30% of wave 2. This number can be increased or decreased. Caution: Keeping the number too low may result in false signals.
Ignore Trend Direction : If unchecked, it will only look for pattern if Wave 1 has made a higher high. If not, it will ignore Wave 1 condition and only look at wave 1 to 2 ratio.
Handle Duplicates : Since, the labels are generated upon crossover of entry price, this crossover may happen multiple times. Or sometimes wave 2 can further extend and generate new signal with same wave 1. This parameter says how to handle such cases. Keep Last is set to default and is most preferred option.

EWO Breaking Bands & XTLElliott Wave Principle, developed by Ralph Nelson Elliott , proposes that the seemingly chaotic behaviour of the different financial markets isn’t actually chaotic. In fact the markets moves in predictable, repetitive cycles or waves and can be measured and forecast using Fibonacci numbers. These waves are a result of influence on investors from outside sources primarily the current psychology of the masses at that given time. Elliott wave predicts that the prices of the a traded currency pair will evolve in waves: five impulsive waves and three corrective waves. Impulsive waves give the main direction of the market expansion and the corrective waves are in the opposite direction (corrective wave occurrences and combination corrective wave occurrences are much higher comparing to impulsive waves)
The Elliott Wave Oscillator ( EWO ) helps identifying where you are in the 5 / 3 Elliott Waves , mainly the highest/lowest values of the oscillator might indicate a potential bullish / bearish Wave 3. Mathematically expressed, EWO is the difference between a 5 period and 35 period moving average. In this study instead 35-period, Fibonacci number 34 is implemented for the slow moving average and formula becomes ewo = sma (HL2, 5) - sma (HL2, 34)
The Elliott Wave Oscillator enables traders to track Elliott Wave counts and divergences. It allows traders to observe when an existing wave ends and when a new one begins. Included with the EWO are the breakout bands that help identify strong impulses.
The Expert Trend Locator ( XTL ) was developed by Tom Joseph (in his book Applying Technical Analysis) to identify major trends, similar to Elliott Wave 3 type swings.
Blue bars are bullish and indicate a potential upwards impulse.
Red bars are bearish and indicate a potential downwards impulse.
White bars indicate no trend is detected at the moment.
Added "TSI Arrows". The arrows is intended to help the viewer identify potential turning points. The presence of arrows indicates that the TSI indicator is either "curling" up under the signal line, or "curling" down over the signal line. This can help to anticipate reversals, or moves in favor of trend direction.

The Elliott Wave Oscillator (EWO) helps identifying where you are in the 5-3 Elliott Waves, mainly the highest/lowest values of the oscillator might indicate a potential bullish/bearish Wave 3. Mathematically expressed, EWO is the difference between a 5-period and 35-period moving average based on the close. In this study instead 35-period, Fibonacci number 34 is implemented for the slow moving average and formula becomes ewo = ema(source, 5) - ema(source, 34)
The application of the Elliott Wave theory in real time trading gets difficult because the charts look messy. This study (EWO-S) simplifies the visualization of EWO and plots labels on probable reversals/corrections. The good part is that all plotting’s are performed on the top of the price chart including a histogram (optional and supported on higher timeframes). Additionally optional Keltner Channels Cloud added to help confirming the price actions.
What to look for:
Plotted labels can be used to follow the Elliott Wave occurrences and most importantly they can be considered as signals for possible trade setup opportunities. Elliott Wave Rules and Fibonacci Retracement/Extensions are suggested to confirm the patters provided by the EWO-S
Trading success is all about following your trading strategy and the indicators should fit within your trading strategy, and not to be traded upon solely
