This the 4th article of our Elliott wave learning series which is a price action based technical analysis method. Here we shall break down elliott wave theory in its components so that in next articles we can concentrate on each parts.

No 1 Article on components of Elliott wave theory — Read Now[/caption]

From the explanation of previous article we have understood that any wave cycle can be subdivided into 8 waves 1,2,3,4,5 and A,B,C either the wave is Bigger/Inner. Out of these 8 waves 1,3,5,A and C is impulse towards main trend and 2,4 and B is correction towards opposite direction of main trend.

Having this basic idea of Elliott wave now we shall move to learn the theory in more detail. Study of Elliott wave theory can be subdivided in four parts as mentioned below:

  1. Wave cycles — We have already learnt what wave cycle is.
  2. Wave’s Personalities
  3. Fibonacci calculations
  4. Wave patterns

With the use of these four principles we can use EWT to predict the market move and missing any one of these will make us confuse to use this wonderful method.

We shall cover wave’s personalities in the next article.
