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()

[blackcat] L1 Elliott Wave3 CatcherLevel: 1
Background
Elliott wave theory is a method of technical analysis that looks for recurring long-term price patterns that are related to persistent changes in investor sentiment and psychology. The theory identifies waves that are identified as impulse waves that form a pattern and corrective waves that counteract the larger trend.
Function
L1 Elliott Wave3 Catcher is trying to observe Elliott wave more clear with different color candles.
Key Signal
var7 --> bull reveral signal which exists along motive wave
var7-var9 --> long in green color; short in red color; retracement in fuchsia color
var26/27/28 --> they are used for wave swing low detection and long entry
Pros and Cons
Pros:
1. Exhibit Elliott waves in different color candles
2. Highlight motive wave with yellow candles
3. Detect bottom and long entry points
Cons:
1. No complete long and short entries can be obtained
2. It cannot be applied for crypto due to lack of financial() functions
Remarks
Tribute to Elliott
Readme
In real life, I am a prolific inventor. I have successfully applied for more than 60 international and regional patents in the past 12 years. But in the past two years or so, I have tried to transfer my creativity to the development of trading strategies. Tradingview is the ideal platform for me. I am selecting and contributing some of the hundreds of scripts to publish in Tradingview community. Welcome everyone to interact with me to discuss these interesting pine scripts.
The scripts posted are categorized into 5 levels according to my efforts or manhours put into these works.
Level 1 : interesting script snippets or distinctive improvement from classic indicators or strategy. Level 1 scripts can usually appear in more complex indicators as a function module or element.
Level 2 : composite indicator/strategy. By selecting or combining several independent or dependent functions or sub indicators in proper way, the composite script exhibits a resonance phenomenon which can filter out noise or fake trading signal to enhance trading confidence level.
Level 3 : comprehensive indicator/strategy. They are simple trading systems based on my strategies. They are commonly containing several or all of entry signal, close signal, stop loss, take profit, re-entry, risk management, and position sizing techniques. Even some interesting fundamental and mass psychological aspects are incorporated.
Level 4 : script snippets or functions that do not disclose source code. Interesting element that can reveal market laws and work as raw material for indicators and strategies. If you find Level 1~2 scripts are helpful, Level 4 is a private version that took me far more efforts to develop.
Level 5 : indicator/strategy that do not disclose source code. private version of Level 3 script with my accumulated script processing skills or a large number of custom functions. I had a private function library built in past two years. Level 5 scripts use many of them to achieve private trading strategy.
