Summary: Elliott Wave Theory
Here’s a summary of what we covered regarding the Elliott Wave Theory: Elliott Waves are fractals. Each wave can be split into parts, each of which is a very similar copy of the whole.

The first 5-wave pattern is called impulse wave.… Continue reading Summary: Elliott Wave Theory

The 5-wave trends are then corrected and reversed by 3-wave countertrends. Letters are used instead of numbers to track the correction. Check out this example of a smokin’ hot corrective 3-wave pattern! Just because we’ve been using a bull market as my primary example doesn’t mean the Elliott Wave Theory doesn’t work on bear markets. The same 5-3 wave… Continue reading Corrective Waves
