Question: As the book reads: A double or triple three is a combination of simpler types of corrections, including the various types of zigzags, flats and triangles.
Here is my questions: Is it possible that W is a little combination (little double zigzig, for example) and Y is a single zigzig? Does W or Y has to be a single 5-3-5, or just a triangle?
Answer: Hi Antony,
If you look in lesson 3, section 4, of our online tutorial, http://www.elliottwave.com/tutorial, you will see this paragraph:
"R.N. Elliott's original labeling of double and triple zigzags and double and triple threes (see later section) was a quick shorthand. He denoted the intervening movements as wave X, so that double corrections were labeled A-B-C-X-A-B-C. Unfortunately, this notation improperly indicated the degree of the actionary subwaves of each simple pattern. They were labeled as being only one degree less than the entire correction when in fact, they are two degrees smaller. We have eliminated this problem by introducing a useful notational device: labeling the successive actionary components of double and triple corrections as waves W, Y, and Z, so that the entire pattern is counted "W-X-Y (-X-Z)." The letter "W" now denotes the first corrective pattern in a double or triple correction, Y the second, and Z the third of a triple. Each subwave thereof (A, B or C, as well as D or E of a triangle - see later section) is now properly seen as two degrees smaller than the entire correction. Each wave X is a reactionary wave and thus always a corrective wave, typically another zigzag."
In other words, waves W, X, and Y are simply used to count the number of zigzags. First zigzag is labeled W, second X, etc. Each zigzag is a 5-3-5, just as the book says. |
