In range bound it is difficult to count 5 /3 waves pattern..
And in trending markets too there are two types of waves we can see
Impulsive and corrective
In TA there is no any hard and fast rule..Ellott was a clerk and he wrote his observations in 1930 and we are still following his theory. At that time technology was not so fine tuned and now we are fine tuned in technology..

Definition of Elliott Waves
In the 1930s, Ralph Nelson Elliott found that the markets exhibited certain repeated patterns. His primary research was with stock market data for the Dow Jones Industrial Average. This research identified patterns or waves that recur in the markets. Very simply, in the direction of the trend, expect five waves. Any corrections against the trend are in three waves. Three wave corrections are lettered as "a, b, c." These patterns can be seen in long-term as well as in short-term charts. Ideally, smaller patterns can be identified within bigger patterns. In this sense, Elliott Waves are like a piece of broccoli, where the smaller piece, if broken off from the bigger piece, does, in fact, look like the big piece. This information (about smaller patterns fitting into bigger patterns), coupled with the Fibonacci relationships between the waves, offers the trader a level of anticipation and/or prediction when searching for and identifying trading opportunities with solid reward/risk ratios.There have been many theories about the origin and the meaning of the patterns that Elliott discovered, including human behavior and harmony in nature. These rules, though, as applied to technical analysis of the markets (stocks, commodities, futures, etc.), can be very useful regardless of their meaning and origin.
Simplifying Elliott Wave AnalysisElliott Wave analysis is a collection of complex techniques. Approximately 60 percent of these techniques are clear and easy to use. The other 40 are difficult to identify, especially for the beginner. The practical and conservative approach is to use the 60 percent that are clear.
The whole theory of Elliott Wave can be classified into two parts:
• | Impulse patterns |
• | Corrective patterns To join Dhanvarsha Online Trading / Technical Education course please visit http://dhanvarshagrp.blogspot.com/2010/02/dhanvarsha-ta-classes.html |
