Hi,

Already entered SHORT at 1.1534.

I guess too risky, so moved my SL to breakeven.

Elliott said contracting triangles cannot be a wave 2.

It can be a wave 4. Or, inside a complex correction, in the B wave or as a C wave.

I'm sure you are right, I do not know ew that well yet. But imo correcting that does not change counting much, only some details in the beginning are affected.

Sorry about my bad measurement, need to be more careful, correct entry was 1.1682.
Oh well, 1.1645 is not that far away. Did you get a good entry?

Nope, stopped at break even. That was a wrong entry.

Hi! I don't know much about the Elliot's theory but I understand that the main trend is established by waves 1 through 5 and can be either up or down. The three following waves always move in the opposite direction of waves 1 through 5, good so far I guess, when I get kind of confused is when it comes to cycles, supercycles, , grand super cycles and so with all the other divisions of waves, but I really want to learn. I’ve been reading more about this method and I’ve been looking forward to keeping up on the thread. By the way, thanks.

In Elliott's day there was no such thing as intra-day data such as H1 or 5M so I think EW rules should not be taken as absolutes - including the biggie that W4 shouldn't trade below W1 high. BTW this "rule" wasn't originally in Elliott Wave Theory. He put it in later on to please the wall street crowd.

Sometimes the price data just won't cooperate. Is it better to stick to the rules or find trades?

Just checking the corrective waves in eurusd , seems still to down to complete wave B & then C if may not up above A but may touch & then finish big wave 4 of weekly counts to come down . as global turmoil yet to settle it may even go much extremes than expected .

I agree. Glen Neely covers this in his book, when he argues that EW using candles is not as accurate as using averaging data points. For most of us, this can be easily accomplished by using the 'line' view to cut average candle wicks. It also helps when doing counts by seeing through some noise in a different view. I used it a few times this week when wave 4 crept into wave 1 territory, and could justify relaxing the rule for a few pips. I see the rules as items not to be dismissed lightly for good reasons (that would allow incorrect counts to pass), rather than face an alternative count. Obey the rules, but use discretion when it is on the border line - and be aware of the consequences of changing rules. (experience says the rules are there for a reason). The EWI people also will not toss out a count because of a few pips from a candle wick, knowing that the structure of the count is most important.
