Four Building Blocks of Technical Trading with EWF Wr | Faminy2nt " Elliott Wave Principle History + Elliott Wave Theory is a form of technical analysis to analyze financial market eycles and forecast trends. It is named after Ralph Nelson Elliott (1871 — 1948). Inspired by the Dow Theory and by observations found throughout nature. Elliott concluded that the movement of the stock market could be predicted by observing and identifying a repetitive pattern of waves. + Elliott noted from his observation that movement in the direction of the trend is always in five waves, labelled as 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. This is usually called motive wave. Movement against the trend is always in three waves and this is called corrective wave. Three wave corrections are lettered as "a, b, ¢." " Elliott Wave Principle Fractal Nature of Wave + Elliott observed the fractal nature of waves: smaller patterns can be identified within bigger patterns. In this sense, Elliott Waves are like a piece of broccoli, where the smaller piece, if broken off from the bigger piece, does, in fact, look like the big piece. ‘This information (about smaller patterns fitting into bigger patterns), coupled with the Fibonacci relationships between the waves, offers the trader a level of anticipation and/or prediction when searching for and identifying trading opportunities with solid reward/risk ratios " Elliott Wave Principle Five Waves Pattern CComectve Wave (Zigzag) : A wn x ‘ «wy | \A * Wen A iv) ow [hn ™\NA/\R jm iN ALA @ | A cor \/ hy oy \ om \ \V \/ AV ch le eA IN, & to \ w A a «oy /\ hi @ Elliott Wave Forecast co Jeon «an \f we 2 V jm Elliott Wave Principle Elliott Wave Degree ° Elliott Wave Forecast Grand Super Cycle = (()) ((N)) (AMA) (€@)) (HCC) CO) (00) (W)) Super Cycle £(D (UD (I) V) (V) a) (D) (c) (w) (%) (Y) Cycle :HIMIIVV abe wxy Primary £19) €€2) (3d) 4) (5) CAD CB) CC) (CMD) (0X) (OM) Intermediate MAGA ABC MOM Minor 112345 ABC WXY Minute (Oa ay up va) Ge).

Today, we have computer algos and machines trading in seconds or milliseconds purely based on technical, probabilities, and statistics + In today’s environment, the biggest change in our opinion is in the definition of trend and counter-trend move. In today’s market, trends can move both in 3 waves and 5 waves. In other words, trend can move in corrective structures and thus we believe that trends do not have to be in 5 waves.
