    Elliot Wave “Cheat Sheet”

    By Bennett A. McDowell, President www.TradersCoach.com®


    Ralph Nelson Elliott (1871-1948) revealed his theory to the world in the year 1938. It
    states that there are 5-Waves in a major trend. Waves 1, 3, and 5 are impulsive waves
    moving in the direction of the trend. Waves 2 and 4 are corrective waves in the trend.
    Elliott Wave has been enhancing my trading profits for years and my hope is that it will
    do the same for you. Enjoy this “Cheat Sheet” and enjoy counting waves!

    WAVE 1
    Impulsive Wave - Wave 1 will begin after Wave 5 of the preceding trend ends.
    Wave 1 will usually be steep and short. Depending on market conditions, Wave 1
    may break out of a narrowing channel.

    WAVE 2
    Corrective Wave – Wave 2 can be either simple or complex. It corrects Wave 1
    but can never extend beyond the starting point of Wave 1. Volume should be
    lower during Wave 2 than during Wave 1.

    WAVE 3
    Impulsive Wave – Wave 3 is the steepest and strongest of all five waves. It has
    the highest volume. While it can, it is not always the longest wave in terms of
    time. You must wait for Wave 3 to exceed the final price level of Wave 1. That’s
    your signal that Wave 2 is over. Any price bar going beyond the final price level of
    Wave 1 must be Wave 3. Wave 3 is the largest, most powerful wave in a trend.

    WAVE 4
    Corrective Wave – Wave 4 can be either simple or complex. If Wave 2 was
    simple, then Wave 4 will be complex, and vice versa. Prices may create a simple
    a-b-c zigzag corrective pattern, which can easily be seen. This is the most
    common. Or, instead prices may meander sideways for an extended period,
    forming a complex correction.

    WAVE 5
    Impulsive Wave – Wave 5 moves in the direction of the overall trend but is
    usually sluggish and not nearly as dynamic as the third wave of an Elliott Wave
    cycle. Wave 5 marks the last burst of buying (in a bull trend) or selling (in a bear
    trend) before a new trend starts.

    NOTE: Most charting platforms have “Fibonacci” drawing software tools that when properly used will
    show these target zones on your charts. It is important you understand where to place the multiple
    anchoring points when using the Fibonacci software drawing tools. (See table on following page.)
