Hello,

 

I have been reading this post for a while now. Just started with WW. I actually called Mr. Wolfe and asked if he were willing to provide 3 charts looking into the future to see a real-time performance metric before shelling out the money (This way there is a better chance to determine if it works). His website shows charts of past (hindsight) charts and their success. Looks like he didn't want to. I have been plotting the WW manually but would like to know your methodology. What determinants do you use for the pitchfork. i.e. what points do you use?

Sorry for the low humility on the last post, I was having a good day..

 

Thanks Suri,

 

I especially like the momentum on the move from pt. 4 to pt. 5.

 

Also, if you zoom out you see that pt #1 is at the 50% level of the total down move. I've noticed that's important.

 

Look how the 1 - 4 line is touched 3 times on both side, on the far side just perfectly..

 

That's a nice one. This market is not a mean reverting market, meaning, it trends hard on the daily charts - will stay overbought/sold for a while.

 

The trick would be finding a low risk entry, which you'd have to try for on the intraday charts..

 

Nice chart Suri - thanks.

Hello,

 

I've been interested in this pattern as well. I've posted a 60 minute chart of the ES. Someone posted one of the ES a few days back, so I'm assuming the large pattern is the same one that was posted a few days ago only on a 60 minute time frame. There is another pattern that seems to be forming on the lower right corner (blown up). I was wondering if what Im seeing is accurate. Thanks.

 

David

Hi David,

 

Thanks for your post...

 

Recently, I have been seeing many WW patterns intraday and hence

started doing research. I have also seen many examples elsewhere of WWs as part of Falling/Rising Wedges/Pennants/Symmetric Triangles and Megaphones etc. But my view of WWs is little different than including in other patterns. The other patterns also have different rules to trade than WW.

 

I am going to continue my research but currently want to focus on WWs with a distinct starting point (1). In my view this point (1) should be a Key Swing Low/Swing High in the market structure and also have connecting lines converging at (1). WW should form after identification of 1,2,3,4 points. Then the typical ranges, barcounts etc should be checked for qualifying WWs...

 

Will try to build my rule set for WW's to trade then planning to write Auto-WW identification in TS.

 

I'll attempt to post my results here.

 

Regards,

Suri

Hi David,

You are correct, the larger pattern is and was the pattern we were discussing / trading.

 

The one you noted is not a correct WW pattern.

 

Go back and study the pattern to get it right, and just keep looking at charts.

For a bearish pattern, the pt #3 and #5 should be above pt #1.

Feel free to post any chart you aren't sure about and we can discuss..

Hello Suri,

 

What are you using to confirm the wolfe waves. From reading the website, it seems that a wedge isn't mandatory for a valid pattern (ETA). From looking at different examples, it seems that it sometimes gets subjective. How do you confirm the first wave (time frame?, bars?, etc). Is there a max number of bars that you use to confirm the subsequent waves (2, 3, 4 etc).

 

One example I bring up is that when I track a particular stock, I see a different pattern (bearish vs. bullish) when I look at daily, weekly and 5 min charts. Am I doing something wrong.

 

Thanks

Hi perfectzero,

 

Thanks for your post...

 

I am in research mode for WWs' and trying to understand certain concepts.

I'll attempt to post my results soon.

 

WW rules seems to be subjective to an extent, but if you build specific rules to detect specific WW-type(s), you may have better success. Most patterns you have to do solid research with your time-frames, instruments to make them your own trading-ideas. Obviously, it does take time, effort and strong will.

 

Looking at your question, could you pl. post a chart??

 

Regards,

Suri

Suri,

 

Thanks for the reply. I copied a couple of charts. They have changed now but I have having trouble attaching them. Tried using both internet explorer and firefox. I'll look into why it won't let me attach and repost.

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

found this thread yesterday and today I've searched and painted my first WW's in my Charts. Here is an german FDax Chart. Would love to hear your opinion and tipps what I can do better. Also I would like to hear how you handle your WW patterns in 5-10 minute Charts. Do you only trade the first WW pattern that forms or do you "rebuilt" it later in the trading day etc.

 

When does a WW pattern fails? Is an breakout a reason to re-built the WW setup? Questions over questions - thank you very much for your help!

 

(Added a second screenshot of the ES. Let me know what you think about this one as well.)

Hi Mel_Function,

 

Thanks for your posts...

 

I am still in research mode for WWs.

 

From my knowledge, WWs are drawn from Major SwingHigh/SwingLows.

For me, critical points are (1) and (2) in that order... Few other authors mentioned (2) being important and pretty much trivialized (1).

 

Anyway, looking at your first chart FDAX, I am not sure if you are picking the SH/SLs or drawing trendlines from other pivots for convergence.

 

In your Second chart, an important point to note is, for the leg 2-3, the lowest point is considered a SL.... Here it is 16.15 bar. Also, the ES5m chart is a Buysetup. In my view, you only plot WWs after 1-4 are identified. Buy Only occurs at (5).

 

As I quoted before, I am still in research mode for WWs and may limit WWs with the Major SH/SLs only for now.

 

Regards,

Suri

If I remember correctly, I think Bill Wolf uses volume and $TICKI to identify the turning point. I also find Stendahl's Value Chart useful for this type of entry

:roll eyes:

 

OAC, does my value indicator appear close?

 

thx

 

It looks close enough. Anyway it is just a guideline to detect exaustion like $TIKI and volume spikes. For trigger, you may want to zoom in on a lower timeframe, in the case of your 30 min chart, you may want to look for other patterns or candle formations on the 5 min or 10 min charts.

I am still in research mode to identify the pattern (this may take a while) before building trading rules etc.

 

First @ES.D 30m chart, I thought I found one, but I realized this may not be a WolfWave. (Reason: Fails the rule SwingHigh4 < SwingHigh2).

 

Second @ES.D 30m, this may be Wolfwave. (I am not quite sure about SwingHigh1). Plotted the ABC Bearish setup with Projections.

 

Let's Watch and see if it works.

 

Regards,

Suri

    • 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.
