Background
 Ralph Nelson Elliott) (1871 - 1948) studied
the wave phenomena of the US stock
market in 1934
 Published the “Wave Principle “ in 1938
 Published the “Nature Law” in 1942

Wave Theory popular in the investing
communities

Theory Outline
 Market fluctuations due to:
 Impulse Wave
 Corrective Wave
 Impulse wave
 follows the trend
 composes of 5 sub-waves
 Corrective wave
 moves against the trend
 Composes of 3 sub-waves
 Waves within waves

Wave Counting Principle

 2nd wave should not exceed the beginning
of 1st wave
 3rd wave should not be the shortest
among 1st, 3rd and 5th wave
 No overlapping between 4th and 2nd wave
(with exception in diagonal triangle)
 Rule of alteration – 2nd and 4th waves take
different wave forms

3 Wave Forms in Impulse Wave (1)

 Extension –
 One of the 1st , 3rd and 5th wave will extend
conspicuously
 3rd wave would not be the shortest among
1st, 3rd and 5th wave

3 Wave Forms in Impulse Wave (2)

 Diagonal triangle –
 Wave structure in upward or downward diagonal
triangle
 In a form of contracting or expanding triangle
 The sub-waves in the diagonal triangle take the
structure of 3-3-3-3-3
 If diagonal triangle appears at the 1st wave, it
will take the structure of 5-3-5-3-5
 The 2nd and the 4th sub-wave will overlap

3 Wave Forms in Impulse Wave (3)

 5th wave extension –

 5th wave failed to exceed the 3rd wave end
 5th wave takes a structure of 5-3-5-3-5
 failure to have the momentum to breath into
new high / low before reversal

Forex Tips & Trading Strategy For You
3 Step To Trade Elliot
Wave
Elliot Wave Cyle
There are few wave correction pattern. But for
this strategy, we are going to find the easiest
zig-zag Correction.
Step 1 : Determine Impulsive Wave
• To determine the impulsive wave, you need to
know that, in 1 impulsive wave consist of 5
minor wave inside the big impulsive wave.
• Find the wave at bigger time frame, then look
at smaller time frame.
Step 2 : Wait For The Correction End
• Correction for zig-zag pattern is A-B-C wave.
• Inside A wave, there are 3 wave cycle.
• B wave also got 3 wave cycle.

• What you need to do is counting wave C.

• Wave C, this time will be 5 Wave Cycle.
• Find the 5 wave in smaller time frame

• After 5 wave complete on the C wave. The price

will end it correction of Zig-Zag Pattern.
 Step 3 : Find Confirmation
• For this step, you need to use confluence of
Divergence And Hidden Divergence before
making any decision to support your wave
count.

• In order for you to success in trading forex
with elliot wave, you need to practice.
• Always finding the impulsive wave, then wait
for the end of correction, then find the
confluence of divergence and hidden
divergence before you make a decision to go
long or to go short.
• Use higher time frame to smaller time frame.
