Quoting itmeDislikedDear Oedipean,
By counting the components of the waves very carefully, one is able to tell where a likely end of the wave is. When the five waves are all accounted for, then the wave is complete. Also, by cataloguing the size of the waves in the past, the size of waves falls into a typical range. This helps to keep you in the right ballpark.
Trade Wave 3 until it has completed its five waves. You are correct in saying that the third wave is usually extended. So go from counting Wave one to Wave two within wave 3 and then count 3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 3-4, and 3-5. When you are counting 3-3, then make sure that you count all of its component waves also, as they are all played out individually. That way you will be able to catalogue every wavelet in Wave 3 properly.
The same method of counting holds true for all extended waves, whether one , three, or fifth waves.
When you are in the fifth wave of the third wave, then carefully count the component waves. When you are in the fifth wave of the fifth wave within the third wave, then go to a smaller timeframe and count the waves inside the fifth wave of the fifth wave. Continue until you have determined the end of the fifth wave of the fifth wave of the fifth wave. Then exit. The same applies to all waves, except that Wave B of Wave 4 is "abc".Ignored
but according to your usefull comment I will go to trade wave 5 and 4 from now by counting subwaves of wave 3 and 4c . thanks for help .
Best wishes .
