INTRODUCTION
The Elliott Wave Blueprint is a Pocket Guide to all the important rules and guidelines
every new trader or a professional trader need to master and become consistently
profitable.
The rules and guidelines of Elliott Wave covered in this book are not all the rules and
guidelines but after years of learning and trading effectively with it, these are among
the few one need to know to apply the methodology to profit from the markets.
I’m Peter Pel, I’m not a lifestyle trader to show you fancy cars, neither I am a multi-
millionaire trader to show you penthouses and estates but I am a professional trader
with a combined in-depth knowledge of three(3) decades with my team of traders at
Pel Markets.
Pel Markets provide retail traders with the best opportunity in being consistently
profitable and achieving success and wealth creation in the financial markets through
our learning environment, community and support team.

IMPULSE WAVE
Motive waves have a subdivision of five waves and always move in the same
direction as the trend of one larger degree. The most popular and common
motive wave is an Impulse. Impulsive waves have five (5) subdivisions
which are always labelled 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Impulsive patterns occur in waves 1,3,5 and in corrective waves A and C.
The sub-waves (1,3 and 5) of an impulsive wave are themselves motive.
v Wave 3 can never be the shortest impulse wave – among Waves 1,3
and 5.
v Wave 2 cannot retrace to a new price low of wave 1.
v Wave 4 never ends in the price area of Wave 1 except in diagonal
triangles.
v Impulsive waves have five (5) subdivision and Waves 1, 3 and 5 are
themselves impulse waves.
v As a guideline, Wave three (3) shows the greatest thrust, except when
Wave five (5) is an extended wave.
v As a guideline, the internal wave structures of corrective Waves 2 and
4 should be different which is termed as alternation.
v As a guideline Waves 2 and 4 often bounce off Fibonacci retracement
levels.

ENDING DIAGONAL (3-3-3-3-3)
Downtrend
A diagonal triangle is a unique type of wave that occurs mainly in Wave 5 of
an impulse wave C of a corrective pattern. It occurs at times when the
proceeding move has gone too far, too fast and has run out of steam. A
diagonal triangle is a motive pattern, yet not an impulse, as it has
characteristics of one or two corrective structure.
v It is a five-wave structure
4 or B
v It has a sub-division pattern of 3-3-3-3-3

v Wave 3 can never be the shortest impulse wave – among Waves 1,3
and 5.

LEADING DIAGONAL (5-3-5-3-5)
A diagonal triangle is a motive pattern, yet not an impulse, as it has one or
two corrective characteristics. In a leading diagonal, waves 1, 3, and 5 are
all impulse waves or all corrective waves in the form of zigzags though
exceptionally rare in its formation.

ZIGZAG (5-3-5)
A zigzag is a three-wave corrective pattern that has two impulsive waves of a Downtrend
lower degree. Mostly, the pattern typically is a counter-trend formation and
moves against the main trend. Its inception is mostly a sharp reversal and can
be mistaken for impulse because of the momentum it shows.
v It is composed of 3 waves
Uptrend
v Wave A's move is reversed by Wave B and ends near the origin of
Wave.
Uptrend
v Wave B retraces past the end of the prior impulsive wave which is
wave A's origin.
Uptrend
RUNNING FLAT
The running flat is a rare variation on the 3-3-5 pattern where wave B
terminates well beyond the beginning of wave A as in an expanded flat, but
wave C fails to travel its full distance, falling short of the level at which wave
A ended. The forces in the direction of the larger trend are so powerful that the
pattern becomes skewed in that direction.
v It is composed of 3 waves.
v Wave B retraces past the end of the prior impulsive wave which is
wave A's origin.
TRIANGLES
Triangles are overlapping five wave affairs that subdivide 3-3-3-3-3. They
appear to reflect a balance of forces, causing a sideways movement that is
UPTREND DOWNTREND
usually associated with decreasing volume and vitality
EXPANDING TRIANGLE
This is a reverse symmetrical triangle where the top is rising and the bottom v Wave C cannot be the shortest Wave
declining. This is a triangle where the B wave exceeds the origin of A.
v Sub-waves of all the diagonal have corrective wave structures.
Rules and Guidelines
v Wave A is the shortest whiles Wave E is the longest.
v It is composed of 5 waves labelled a, b, c, d, e
v As a guideline, the sub-wave structures should alternate.
v Wave D goes beyond the origin of Wave C.
Triple Three
TRUNCATION
A diagonal triangle is a motive pattern, yet not an impulse, as it has one or
two corrective characteristics. In a leading diagonal, waves 1, 3, and 5 are
all impulse waves or all corrective waves in the form of zigzags though
exceptionally rare in its formation.
