The Basics of Elliott Wave Theory

one question i NEVER seem to find answers to in all videos and articles i've read about the Elliot wave theory is... HOW DO I IDENTIFY THE ORIGIN OF THE WAVES??? I mean... how do i draw or count the waves? where do i start from? how do i know where to start from? i've seen several examples on charts but no one ever seems to explain why they chose theirs points as the origin of the 1st wave.

So could someone please explain this to me? i know quite a bit about the Elliot wave theory now, but all that knowledge is USELESS cos i still can't apply anything i've learned.

so a little help PLEASE

Guys, I'm admittedly new to EWT.

any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Can anyone help identify what wave we are in now?

Is this some kind of extension. Are we in a new downward, very fast primary bearish wave pattern?

Check the "HISTORIC Archives" section and in the Article section the
Cycles Magazin from 1988 especially.

From wikipedia:
"The Dow Jones Industrial Average was founded by Charles Dow on May 26, 1896, and represented the dollar average of 12 stocks from leading American industries. Previously in 1884, Mr. Dow had composed an initial stock average called the Dow Jones Averages, which contained nine railroads and two industrial companies that appeared in the Customer's Afternoon Letter, a daily two-page financial news bulletin which was the precursor to The Wall Street Journal."

How could the count start in 1765?

Hi guys,

this is my first time trying to understand Elliot wave. I posted my chart. Could someone take a look at it and see if this is correct? or have i Violated one of the rules for wave counting?

Wave 4 should not overlap with Wave 1, except for wave 1, 5, a or c of a higher degree
