Introduction

Rule of Wave 3: Wave 3 can never be the shortest of the three impulse waves (1, 3, and 5).

  • Learning Tool: Seeing the algorithm’s interpretation side-by-side with price action helps train your eye for classic Elliott patterns (e.g., wave 3 not shortest, wave 2 not beyond start of wave 1).
  • Multi-Timeframe Sync: Some versions can overlay higher-degree counts on lower timeframes.
