Pattern school
What the tape is drawing
Elliott, Wyckoff, Power of 3, and the named setups — same story in four dialects. Open a card. The diagram is the lesson. The cheat is what you do. The kill line is when you are wrong.
Elliott wavesMarkets breathe in fives and give it back in threes. Wave 2 is the trap. Wave 3 is the meat.
WyckoffSize builds a cause in a range, then spends it. Phase C is the last lie — that lie is the entry.
Power of 3Accumulate in a box. Raid one side (the Judas swing). Expand the other way. The raid is the setup, not the breakout.
Named patternsA sketch until the neckline, rim, or wedge floor does the confirming close. Until then, it is not a trade.
Elliott waves
Full breath: 5 then 3
Impulse writes the chapter. ABC turns the page.
A clean five, then a three that holds a weekly level. The next 1 often starts as a spring off C.
The cheat
Take 5. Do not marry it. The first close under the Wave 4 low starts A. C against a floor is the next bag.
It dies if
Overlapping swings mean you do not have an impulse. Stand aside until a side takes the last swing and holds it.
Markets breathe in fives and give it back in threes. Wave 2 is the trap. Wave 3 is the meat.
