Privacy Overview. All we needed now is an extended fifth wave to complete the first step of another a-b-c. But the market had other ideas. Fig 10f - Internal sub waves of the failed fifth wave shown in this 1-minute chart As you can see, even the failed fifth wave respected all the rules and guidelines of the Elliott Wave Principle. The third wave was So what is the take away for you from all this. When it comes to trading the fifth wave, you should be very alert. Once a five wave move ends the ensuing correction will be larger than the second wave or the fourth wave that preceded it.
There is no way of telling beforehand that a move will fail. But you should be alert to notice a failure as it is happening and take steps to exit your position in time. I should have gotten out when it came back to 0. Simple Corrections- Zigzags Some of you might think the material you have read up to here is difficult.
But do not despair. To tell you the truth, the subject of corrections is going to be a bit more challenging. But be patient. Once you have read the entire book, especially the later portions where I discuss practical application of the Elliott Wave Principle, you will find everything makes sense. Afterwards you would come to love this approach to the market so much that you cannot trade without counting the waves first!
Before we plunge into the deep end of corrections, let us quickly review what you have learnt so far. If we take just the five waves that go up the growth phase we will see that this set is made up of 3 impulses and 2 corrections. Thus, although the complete set of five waves is ONE impulse wave, there are 3 impulses and 2 corrections that are of a smaller degree together making up the 5 waves.
Once the growth phase is over, we get the corrective phase which is made up of three waves. Of these three waves in the corrective phase, two waves are in the short term direction, separated by one correction. We normally label the internal waves of the five wave impulse wave as 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 whereas the three wave corrective phase is labeled as a, b and c. For instance, wave b corrects wave a before we get wave c. Wave 2 corrects wave 1 and wave 4 corrects wave 3.
Once the five-wave impulse is over, the set of a, b, and c together corrects the entire five-wave rally. Thus this set of abc is together larger than either wave 2 or wave 4. Because waves 2, 4 and b are all corrections, each of them is made up of 3 waves. There are four main categories of corrective waves: Zigzags, Flats, Triangles and Combinations. We will deal with each of these one by one. In this chapter, we will look at Zigzag corrections in detail.
Wave C is always made up of 5 waves in any correction, irrespective of the category. Fig 11a A zigzag correction in Caterpillar Inc The key points to note about a zigzag correction is wave B usually ends well above the start of wave A, and wave C travels well above the top of wave A. The following chart shows the internal waves of the ABC.
Fig 11b- Internal waves of a Zigzag correction As you can see from Fig b, Wave A assumes the form of an impulse wave with five minor waves. It is moving in the direction of the immediate trend, which is up, although the bigger direction is down. Wave B is made up of 3 waves, but not so clear in this hourly chart. Wave B serves to correct Wave A. Be aware that counting waves in the very short term is often a challenge, and you must attempt it after you gain some experience.
Wave C that commenced at the end of Wave B is also made up of 5 waves. How can we use this knowledge in practice? Once Wave C starts off in the desired direction, you will apply the rules of determining the end point for wave 5 within wave C as described in the chapter dealing with wave 5.
Actually, this approach should work for all your projections for end points of corrections whether it is a zigzag, flat or irregular corrections. If a zigzag occurs in Wave 2 position, the maximum distance it usually travels is to the top of wave 1 of the preceding lower degree.
As this is quite a useful guideline, let me explain it a bit more. Notice that wave II or B in the chart has come down only to the top of wave 1 inside wave I or A in the chart. Wave 1 is of lower degree than Wave II because wave 1 is a sub wave within wave I.
If a Zigzag occurs in a wave 4 position then the maximum distance it travels is usually limited to the top of wave1 in the same degree. There is, however, no compulsion for it to come down to the maximum extent, because it could end well above that.
But should you spot a Wave C of a zigzag coming close to the top ie ending point of of Wave 1, you should view it as a low risk trade to position in the direction of the bigger trend. Another important clue that you can keep in mind is this.
Compute the time and distance travelled by both the waves 2 and 4 of the lower degree. Then, your zigzag correction will be bigger in size and take longer time than the bigger of waves 2 and 4.
For example, suppose wave 2 travelled 50 pips and took 3 hours, whereas wave 4 travelled 25 pips and took 5 hours. In this case, your zigzag correction will take more than 5 hours and will travel more than 50 pips. Clearly, with zigzag corrections you have lots of clues to figure out how long and how far the move is likely to travel.
Simple Corrections- Flats A flat correction is a horizontal formation that occurs in between two impulses. Like all corrections, this corrective wave is also made up of three waves. Unlike in a zigzag where Wave A is made up of 5 sub waves, the Wave A in a flat is made up of just three waves. This by itself signals a lack of strength to correct deeply the prior impulse wave. Wave B inherits some of this characteristic and ends near the start of wave A, and unfolds in 3 sub waves remember in a zigzag, Wave B ends some distance away from the start of Wave A.
Once Wave B is completed, the ensuing Wave C unfolds in 5 sub waves, but once again, unlike wave C of a zigzag, this wave C will finish at or just beyond the terminal point of Wave A.
A flat is usually found in the fourth wave position. The most important clue from the preceding paragraph is when you see a move back to the start of an initial 3 wave correction you should get in the habit of labeling it as a flat correction. This would mean the end of Wave C is unlikely to go much beyond the bottom of wave A. How can you anticipate a flat?
The best hint that a flat correction is likely to develop is for the preceding correction to have been a zigzag. This is very valuable information if you are an active trader.
You will approach the treatment of wave A just like a separate zigzag as explained in the preceding chapter. Suppose the first wave of Wave C of a flat proves to be strong, in that it falls below the second leg of the preceding wave B, we should prepare for a much deeper move before Wave C is finished. A useful guide will be to multiply this first wave down of wave C by 3, and subtract from the result the anticipated maximum expectancy for the whole correction.
Remember that if this flat was following an extended third wave, we are looking for the whole correction to be just But occasionally we do see a You can safely use this as a simple and easy to remember guideline. But always try and use the method outlined in the chapter for impulse wave 5 in order to confirm where the C wave will end.
If you find that the targets obtained by using the Fig 12a - A flat correction in wave 4 position Observe the 10 minute chart of Gold in Fig 12a above. The correction is clearly in a fourth wave position. The first thing you should notice is whether the first move from the top of wave 3 is a three wave move or a five wave move. Fig 12 b - Wave A came down in 3 waves. Because Wave A came down in 3 waves, and the price started moving up again, we would anticipate two things.
First, this correction is going to be a flat, which means wave B will come close to the top of wave A. Then we would expect Wave C to unfold in 5 sub waves. We would also calculate some Fibonacci projections of Wave A to determine the likely end points for Wave C. As you can see from Fig 12b above, Wave C finished very close to the Fig 12c - The whole Wave 4 finished exactly at the You also knew that this Wave 4 was going to be a Flat correction the moment Wave B started going up with only 3 waves of Wave A being completed.
You also knew that Wave B will likely go all the way back to the start of Wave A because of this correction being a Flat. And finally, you computed a Irregular Corrections A typical B wave in a zigzag seldom goes beyond the In the case of an irregular correction, however, the B wave goes beyond the starting point of Wave A and just when everyone is convinced that the original trend was probably back in place, the price turns around and comes down rapidly as the C wave to complete the correction.
The first move after the end of wave 5 would be a three wave affair and is labeled as Wave A. The Wave B that follows will also be in three sub waves but the price will exceed the top of Wave 5. Thereafter, we will get a normal Wave C made up of five sub waves. An irregular correction is frequently spotted at the end of an extended fifth wave, because as we shall discuss in greater detail later , an extended fifth wave is subject to what is known as double retracement.
The first retracement usually covers only that portion of the fifth wave that went beyond a normal fifth wave. We can also compute where the irregular top will likely occur by doing the same calculations we would use for a zigzag. Irregular corrections can also occur after a normal fifth wave. The only difference is we need not get the full second retracement of the fifth wave as is common with an extended fifth wave.
An important clue for traders is when an irregular correction appears either after wave 1 or wave 3, i. For example, if wave 1 and 3 were normal waves, and wave 4 was an irregular correction, you can almost be certain that wave 5 will be an extended fifth. Another method to determine the end point of the Wave C is as follows. Compute the distance between the starting point of Wave A and ending point of Wave B. Let us assume this was 40 cents.
Then add or subtract if wave C was coming down these numbers to the end of wave A to get the levels where the C wave is likely to finish. For example, when we pass a reflex point on the way up, you might start thinking that maybe this is going back all the way up. The next thing to do is to determine where to resell! As I pointed out in Fig 13a earlier, we could compute Also, using the hourly charts, one could determine where wave 5 of the C wave would end.
Fig 13c — Determining where the fifth wave will end? Just to complete the example of using Elliott Wave analysis after encountering an irregular correction, you can see from Fig13c that one could have anticipated a significant bounce by computing the distance from point 0 to point 3 and calculating a Subtract that from the end of wave 4 to get the potential wave 5 ending point, and Hey Presto!
An easy pip profit is in the bag. Complex Corrections We have already discussed simple corrections in the form of a zigzag or flat. Every now and then, just when you think the markets have completed one of these corrections, you will see a pause, and another round of corrective moves taking place. What you then get is a complex correction, which is basically a combination of two or more of these patterns.
When two zigzag patterns are combined, with an intervening separator move which we usually label the X wave, then we end up with a double zigzag. Elliott used the term inverted zigzag to refer to the correction happening during a down trend, but for the sake of clarity we will only deal with the normal patterns.
Just remember that any of these corrections can occur in an uptrend or a down trend Coming back to the double zigzag, you will remember that a zigzag has as its internal waves. So a double zigzag will have in its first set and another in its second set. The intervening X wave is usually made up of 3 waves. For example, Wave C was related to Wave A in each of the two sets of zigzags. If you were trading these waves, you would have been able to apply the guidelines for forecasting a fifth wave of an impulse when dealing with Wave C.
Notice that there was pips to be made in the reaction upwards before the final move down happened. But the picture is clear when you zoom in to the hourly charts as shown below in Fig 14d below.
Fig 14d - Here you get a close up view of the internal waves of the second zigzag Just as one could get a complex correction in the form of a double zigzag, one could also get a complex combination of two flats! Not surprisingly Elliott called it a double flat!
If you get a combination of three flats, it will be called a triple flat Just like a normal flat will have as its internal waves a pattern, so also each of the two flats that combine using an X wave in between will also have a pattern.
Triangles One of the easiest formations to spot in a chart is a triangle. According to Elliott, a horizontal triangle occurs only in a Wave 4 position except in some very rare occasions when it appears in the second wave. It will never be seen in impulse waves 1, 3 or 5. However, some well known practitioners of the Elliott Wave Principle have introduced the concept that it is possible for a horizontal triangle to occur In any correction, and particularly in the B wave position.
My own experience also tends to lean in that direction. Triangles could be both converging and expanding type. I have seen the expanding type of a triangle a few times, but was not able to immediately get an example for you from recent market action. Elliott himself did not place too much value on the expanding triangle. A triangle in Elliott Wave analysis is typically made up of five internal waves, each of which is a made up of three sub waves.
This formation actually happened a few months ago, as you will presently see. Notice that inside the large triangle bounded by the pink lines you can see a smaller triangle in the Wave b position. This smaller triangle also has 5 sub waves. The small triangle resolved to the up side, i. The example in Fig 15a is one of the more complex corrections as you can see from the way I have labeled the internal waves.
Fig 15b - The bigger picture for Crude Oil In Fig 15b above, you are able to see the bigger picture at the time of writing the date is at the top left hand corner. With the intervening B wave a triangle.
Next let us see if we can establish any relationships between the waves. You already have a clue in Fig 15b, but it might be useful to see it more clearly Fig 15c - See how the internal waves of the zigzag are related to each other As you can make out from the above chart, Wave C finished at the Incidentally, the final wave of the triangle finished exactly at the Elliott spent quite a bit of time on Diagonal Triangles.
We have already seen in an earlier chapter the treatment of Diagonal Triangles when it occurs as an impulse wave. In this chapter, we look at diagonal triangles when they appear as a correction.
According to Elliott, diagonal triangles are often found as Wave 4 in situations when the upcoming fifth wave was likely to extend. The third wave would have traveled a considerable distance in a short space of time, and the diagonal triangle itself would appear sloping in the direction of the major trend. For example, in an uptrend, the ending point of the fourth wave diagonal triangle will be near or even above the top of the third wave.
This type of a price action is often seen in the 1-minute chart, especially in the foreign exchange markets. But a more reliable pattern occurs when the diagonal triangle occurs either in Wave A position or Wave C position. When it occurs in Wave A position, it becomes a leading diagonal triangle, and when it occurs at the Wave C position, it is an ending diagonal triangle. When it is a leading diagonal triangle, the internal waves are made up of sub waves.
However, when it is in wave C position, the internal waves are By learning some very useful guidelines, your Wave counting efforts will get further refined, and you will start enjoying the thrill of anticipating market turns. Putting your new-found knowledge to practice in the real world is then just a few short steps away. Start with small amounts first, until you gain in confidence, and gradually move to your normal trading size.
Good luck!! Alternation Now that you have spent time reading about the concepts and rules that govern the Elliott Wave Principle, it is time to move on to understanding some of the guidelines that will help you apply what you have learned to the real world.
At the very outset, you can observe that every other wave goes in the pposite direction to the preceding wave. In an uptrend, Waves 2 and 4 go down, while waves 1, 3 and 5 go up.
The opposite is true during down trends. Particular attention should be given to corrective waves. The pattern that Wave 4 takes will alternate from the pattern of Wave 2. So if Wave 2 was a simple correction, we should anticipate Wave 4 to be complex, and vice versa. This is an enormously useful guide, allowing us to side step the difficulty of trading a complex Wave 4. If Wave 2 travelled deep, then it is likely that Wave 4 will be sub normal.
If Wave 2 took more time to finish, Wave 4 will probably be a quick one. Fig 16a - Observe how wave 2 was a quick zigzag whereas Wave 4 was a leisurely flat Within a correction itself we can find evidence of alternation.
If Wave A was flat, then Wave B could turn out to be a zigzag. As already noted, Wave C is always made up of five sub waves. Fig 16b - Wave A was a Flat, but Wave B was a zigzag Elliott has also observed that major peaks and troughs over a long term also alternate. For example, if a major bottom was seen several years ago and that bottom was an irregular B wave, then it is likely the next visit to the same area will be a normal bottom.
So there is no guarantee that you will get such alternation, but you will be better off for expecting it. Channeling I have mentioned earlier that there is a tendency for two of the three impulse waves to tend to equality. This information could be used in an approach called channeling to forecast the likely ending points for waves 3 and 5.
Before I outline the method, I wish to emphasize that you should use this only as a guide, and pay more attention to the underlying rhythm of the waves. Let us assume you are in an uptrend for this explanation. You will then draw a line connecting the bottom of waves 1 and the ending point of wave 2.
This line will become the base line for the channel. Extend the line further to the right. Next, draw a parallel to the base line, but let it be touching the top of wave 1. This upper line will be the tentative line which could potentially stop a wave 3. However, if wave 3 were to be very strong, and certainly if it extends , it is going to break above this upper line.
Typically, you will also draw a parallel to wave 1, slanting to the right and starting from the end point of wave 2, to determine where that slanting line will meet the upper boundary. That meeting point is where you would think a normal wave 3 will finish. Once wave 3 has finished, you will make adjustments to your channel. You should now connect the tops of wave 1 and wave 3 with a new line, and draw a parallel via the ending point of wave 2.
This new lower line is expected to offer support when the unfolding wave 4 reaches it. Once again, remember it is just expectancy as of now.
When Wave 4 is completed, you should take the most important step, that of determining where wave 5 could end. For this, you will connect the bottoms of wave 2 and wave 4 with a new line. Thereafter, you will draw a new parallel line via the top of wave 3 and extend it to the right. Unless wave 5 was going to be exceptionally strong, in which case you will see a throw over beyond the top of this parallel line, you will expect it to finish near about this parallel line.
You can also draw a parallel sideways to wave 3, starting from the bottom of wave 4 to see where that will intersect the upper boundary. If wave 3 was exceptionally strong, then the parallel to the new base line connecting waves 2 and 4 can be drawn via the top of wave 1 instead of from the top of wave 3 as described above.
In order to project the end point of wave 5, we would first draw a line connecting the bottoms of Wave 2 and Wave 4. Then we draw a parallel touching the top of wave 3 and extend that line. Notice the important point that Wave 5 appears parallel to Wave 3! So you could have had an approximate idea of when and where Wave 5 could possibly end. One you got an approximate idea of the terminal point, you will apply the other techniques you already learnt, to see if they also produce levels which are similar.
Fig 17b - Forecasting Wave 5 by using Fibonacci projections In Fig 17b, you can see how one could have taken the distance between the start of the five waves, point 0, and the end of Wave 3, and then computing You will add the result to the bottom of Wave 4 to get the target for Wave 5, and you can see that the levels are approximately the same as what you got using the Elliott Wave channels. Fig 17c - Fibonacci projections to determine end point of wave 5 inside the larger wave 5.
As you know, fifth wave targets are obtained by computing either the Whereas in the larger picture Fig 17b above we used The choice is just a matter of trial and error, to see if you can achieve a confluence of numbers. The end of the minor fifth wave is not far off from the projected end of the bigger fifth wave, and so we become more comfortable in calling a top there.
Fig 17d - Anticipating end of Wave 4 using channels Once again, looking at the same SP index chart, you could have anticipated where the fourth wave will end by doing the following.
You will connect the top of Wave 1 and Wave 3 and draw a parallel via the end of Wave 2. As expected, Wave 4 finished around this parallel line. As a final example for this chapter, I am showing you the chart for the Dow Jones Industrial Average. You can see that the same techniques we discussed above also worked in this case. Fig 17e - The Elliott Channel worked very well in picking the top for the Dow as well. Wave Personality This is an area that I would urge you to study carefully and not only understand what is being discussed, but also assimilate the material.
Doing so will make your trading experience so much more enjoyable. As you practice the art of EWP, there will be times when you are unsure about what wave count to give to a certain stage in the movements. At these times, you will find the knowledge of Wave personality extremely helpful. Let us discuss this in terms of an imminent bull market, but the concepts will apply equally well in a bear market.
Wave 1, for example, starts off at the end of a significant move. Of all the waves, I have most difficulty with the first wave. Sometimes, this wave springs as if released from a stretched rubber band! However, you need to be aware that the markets are technically the strongest after a severe sell off. After a steep rally, you should be looking for formations that will tell you where to sell! You will have to wait for price to move past a reflex point, and then see if you can count five tiny waves.
This is not the case with the third wave! There will be no mistaking whatsoever about a third wave that is in progression. The steepness of the wave is distinct, and volume typically increases. You will frequently see gaps in the chart. Those who use oscillators such as the RSI will find that they show price has reached overbought territory. Yet, after a brief lull during which this situation is corrected, price continues to go higher.
Traders who try to pick a top during the progression of a third wave often get hurt. For example, an extended third wave is usually corrected only by Also, if Wave 3 was extended, then chances are Wave 5 will be of normal proportion, perhaps equal to Wave 1.
A third wave in a bear market is usually more destructive, and easier to trade off pull backs. Fig 18c - The rally having a failed fifth at the top is not a third wave. The best clue for you to decide if we are in a third wave or a C wave is to look at the slope of the potential third wave compared to the slope of the first wave.
Here, in Fig 18c above, the second rally that followed the initial rally induced by the Swiss National Bank The Central Bank of Switzerland was less steep when compared to the latter.
So I should have been skeptical about the up move. Of course, I was only looking for a move to around 0. Now let us turn to the personality of fifth waves. Elliott maintained that the fifth wave was the wave that usually extends.
