A question I can't seem to find the answer to;
I keep reading about the EW rules;
1: Wave 2 never falls below the starting point of wave 1
2: Wave 3 cannot be the shortest wave
3: Wave 4 cannot enter wave 2 territory.
The question nobody seems to answer is what if the rules are broken, what then?
This is how my (Wavebasis) software labelled the waves.
Here it is with the single ABC correction labelled. I have labelled my (A) at the wave basis (C)
It doesn't really matter. There are abc's (or wxy's) in a lower degree (time frame) between abc's on a higher time frame. EWF usually drops down to the 30m chart for entries.
(All of these were just eyeballed, not using fibs.)
Wavebasis as mentioned is working on a single correction. I usually chart out for a double correction based on BTC history...but until it validates we are on our way to 5.
The subwaves are why I think we are doing another correction before 5...we would have blasted through farther on the (sub wave)3 imo if going to 5...but 5 wave doesn't always break the 3 wave level so it might not matter anyway.
This is where fibs come into play, and you can go lower time frames. As mentioned I am not looking for an entry here so not really looking at it.
Here is if we have already reached wave 5 (1) and on the ABC correction --->(2)
I find the 3 wave is too short here.
if 4 crosses into 1. This rule is pretty subjective. I put very little effort in establishing the 1 wave...my focus is always establishing the 3 wave. If 4 crosses into 1 then I would assume I got the 3 wave wrong like in this example.
I had to look this one up on my fib data sheet...this is also showing what happens if the pattern gets invalidated by
If wave C = 161.8% of wave A, wave C can be a wave 3 of a 5 waves impulse.
