This is a Wolfe Wave that formed since the beginning of the month as appeared on my ES 15 minute chart. Looks like it hit the 1-4 target line and died. But that point 5 was a little tricky to narrow down. As a matter of fact it has way exceeded the standard guideline for point 5 as set forth by Bill Wolfe.

I personally don't like waves - neither elliott nor these but here is some manuals I found that might be of help if anyone is interested :)

 

 

.. By the way searching these wolfe waves I found forex-tsd forum's thread about them and the guy who started it, and also who posted most about it edited and deleted all his posts :) maybe he found his own grail in them :) :P

Just to let you know, those manuals are reprint of LBR's book, "Street Smart". According to Bill Wolfe, they are not accurate.

Just had a quick look at the two pdf files. They seem pretty accurate to me. Doesn't surprise me that Bill Wolfe, whose trying to parlay a pattern into a career, would say they're inaccurate--it's in his economic self-interest to say so.

 

Well, it would make for an interesting discussion if someone can find some mistake in Linda's work. If you do, please post it!

Just ignore him then. i am only quoting what he said only because his last name is Wolfe.

What are the warning signs that the wolfe wave is about to fail ?

I mean , I have seen perfect patterns following all the rules , nice turnarounds from the line connecting points 1-3-5 and giving you all the confidence that the target 6 will be reached. Then , suddenly poof , the pattern falls apart.

What are the indicators that one should watch out ? I mean a warning sign that the wave is about to fall ?

 

Thanks in advance .

Its all about the move from point 4 to point 5. If this is choppy, the pattern is either negated, or the target becomes closer. Move your target line to be less aggressive in chop.

 

WW and Andrews are 2 methods that have been working very well in these choppy markets recently.

Hey Bubba,

 

A bit ugly since it looks like not so much a range as trend - -

But I will be the first to say that the ones that look "perfect" are the worst ones!!!

I really dont like the 4-5 wave- its so choppy...

I DO like the volume pattern, that looks pretty good especially at point 3 and 5.

 

Regardless the 1-3 line you drew is an important channel line, thanks for pointing this out.

thx for your point of view ws.. always appreciated.

price actually violated the 1-3 line (yesterday?).. anyway.. it quickly jumped 30-40pts or so. as i type, it's right back near the low. we'll see.

This is more like what I'm talkin about,

5 min chart, here's what I like:

 

Its more horizontal

Nice volume move off point 3

nice volume move into point 2

nice direct move from 4 to 5

nice triple touch to 1-3 line

the 1-4 line was touched once from the upside

 

good potential for a 40 pt move if price can stay above 1165.

One more thing that I noticed is that if you draw a smaller wave with the next peak after point 3 as mini point 4 and next touch as mini point 5 , than the target line from 1 to mini4 , perfectly points to major 4.

Nice call on the 40 pt ES. How about a 100 ES point day ? :o

6.01 million contracts traded 9/18/08, that is probably a record. 100 point range in ES in about 8 hours.

They are probably trying to gap this up to reduce selling by the longs and force covering by the shorts.

How about that?

Here's the after shot of that chart pattern I put up the other day.

It looked good to me, but to be honest I often get skeptical with this pattern on the higher time frames.

I hope some of you guys got those moves today, crazy rides. I had got some of that first 40 pts, and quite a bit out of the second move.

The key was how that 1-3 line acted as support after price blast through it, from there it was the easiest 20-30 points I've ever seen!

This is a good one to study.

Even the time predicted by 135 and 24 interesection worked perfectly.

Interesting pt. here...

 

this is the second touch of the Andrew's line, also a potential wolfe wave.

 

I like how this point one begins at the 50% of the range.

 

Also its not a steep line.

 

TIming wise, the distance from point one to three is almost equal point 2 to 4.

 

The gap below is a big void - extremely possible it will be tested.

 

A good plan would be to sell a retest of this box from below.

 

any thoughts?

yes sorry, es.. Its just an hourly.

 

day session only, as I found out (@ES.D in Tradestation).

 

Where would point 6 be, waveslider? Somewhere below point 2, right?

 

I like the fact that there's a pitchfork confirming the weakness.

Doesn't hurt that there are two moving averages providing resistance on the daily chart (34 EMA and 50 SMA).

 

Still, every money manager on the planet is telling his clients to get back into the market, so I'm dubious that point 6 will get reached. This might turn out to be a classic example of what happens when technical analysis stands in the way of a stampede of bulls.

yes here is an updated chart. I actually moved point 1 on this chart a little lower to where momentum actually started. This is a 45 min chart of ESZ08(24 hr sesh).

 

Total disclosure, I actually took a position on this one short on the close today. I had another signal anyway, but I think I will trade a portion of this according to the pattern.

 

I added the Andrews line because it seemed appropriate.

 

I like the WW target here because it has acted as a genuine support and resistance line on both sides.

 

I like how the WW target line also penetrates the pattern at the 50% mark of the pattern. There is of course another Andrews line that could originate from the #1 pt. which has an even more deep target.

 

I am still convinced the charts say we are in a range, a time when WW works well (as opposed to trend).

 

The classic descending triangle should be apparent to every one in this market.

 

This is not going to be an easy ride lower (I anticipate), since its not close enough to be a straight fall. However the R/R is about 5 to one right now.

 

I'm doing one contract down to that WW line (100pts). Its the most conservative line of the other andrews lines I see originating from that area. The rest of the position I'll take off around 850 if it gets that low.

 

There is a real possibility of testing recent Nov. lows... notice that price is failing to stay above pt. #3. Every one who was going to buy bought on that gap up - weak volume follow through..

 

Well see..

Best of luck on this trade WS. I'm thinking right now that we won't hit even the Andrews medianline, but that's what makes for two-sided trading, right? I have to admit that the WW and pitchfork really do look classic.

Patiently waiting for something to happen, another WW just formed as the top failed here...

I don't know why I am seeing WWs recently more. I still don't trust them too much, they have to be traded with some other method.

The steep pitchfork I had on that chart doesn't look so good anymore.

I still think this market is headed south.

    • Agreed since some of the new traders usually lose money in start and some loses more while chasing their lost money and eventually ends up blaming to their brokers part.
    • The crypto market are also in phase of maturing like the forex and other trading assets so we can do much more accurate analysis than before since early days it was purely a luck if the investments in crypto bears results because most of the coins or tokens never come to fruition. Some early birds were also able to make profits on these tokens or coins. e,g., like turtle coin starts with 1 satoshi and go up to 7 sathoshis, quite good rewards. another token lmgx now hovering at 10 started from 1, 
    • How's about other crypto exchanges? Are all they banned in your country or only Binance?
    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
