Elliott Waves

Understanding Elliott Waves

  • Elliott Wave Theory describes market movements through a series of waves that reflect patterns of trader psychology.
  • Introduced by Ralph Elliott, the theory identifies eight types of waves: five that follow the trend and three that go against it.
  • The primary framework consists of a five-wave pattern (waves 1, 3, 5 showing directional movement) interspersed with corrective waves (waves 2, 4 moving against the trend).

    • Properties of Elliott Waves

  • Wave 2 never crosses back below the beginning of wave 1.
  • Wave 3 is never the shortest wave; it typically extends further than waves 1 and 5.
  • Wave 4 does not enter the price territory of wave 1.
  • Each complete cycle consists of eight waves, reflecting two phases: an impulsive phase (five waves) and a corrective phase (three waves).

    • Application of Elliott Waves in Trading
