RULES are great. They tell you what you can’t do. The Elliott Wave Principle has three.
In a five-wave impulse (shown in the chart below):
- Wave 2 can never retrace more than 100% of wave 1
- Wave 3 can never be the shortest of waves 1, 3 and 5
- Wave 4 can never end in the price territory of wave 1

But GUIDELINES tell you what’s PROBABLE. And that’s what you want to know! |
