Hi,
In this thread I will be posting the Equity stocks with potential WW patterns.......................for commodities and indices , one can refer to my other thread given below...............Thank u
Explanation of wolf wave - Bullish (from book Street Smart by Linda Raschke):
1. Number 2 wave is a top.
2. Number 3 wave is the bottom of a first decline.
3. Number 1 wave is the bottom prior to wave 2 . Point 3 must be lower than point 1.
4. Number 4 wave is the top of wave 3. The wave 4 point should be higher than the wave 1 bottom.
5. A trend line is drawn from point 1 to point 3. The extension of this line projects to the anticipated reversal point which we will call wave 5.
this is the entry point for a ride to the epa line (1 to 4).
6. The Estimated Price at Arrival (EPA) is the trend line drawn from points 1 to 4. This projects the anticipated price objective. Our initial stop is placed just beneath the newly formed reversal at point 5. It can then be quickly moved to breakeven.
IMPORTANT POINT: You cannot begin looking for the Wolfe Wave until points
1, 2, 3, and 4 have been formed. Keep in mind that point 3 must be lower than point 1 for a buy setup. It must be higher than point 1 for a sell setup. Also, the wave point 4 will be higher than point 1 for a buy setup and lower than 1 for a sell setup.
Every event in this world follows the act of balanced equilibrium, ranging from Human Birth-Death,Weather, Tsunami, Earthquakes, Volcanoes...................................And of course the financial markets.................

One is in the Elite Section, unavailable for viewing by most members. Is it possible to request @Big Mike to move a thread in or out of a "section" after it has been started? Not sure I've seen (or noticed) that done before, but I can see the value in it, @kitesfs

I am planning to keep Stocks and Commodities separate as this section is more over of stocks..........and I will be posting only WW in this thread and just stocks and NO commodities or indices.......just to make it simple....while in the other thread I will be focusing on BALANCED EQUILIBRIUM TRADING which includes other patterns along with WW....
Thanks Cashish . Never thought in that way though, but now I get it. I think not too many people are interested in stocks in Elite Section and the concentration is more over on SP500, ES, TF etc.,

Has nothing to do with the section. First, not many interested in wolf wave, second fewer interested in stocks. That's just the nature of the site, it is mainly futures, and mainly not pattern trading.
I yet have not been interested in wolfe waves very much, because I have not found a
way to define them automatically. Recognizing them, by my own eye, is not very easy to me.
Therefore it is very kind of you to share your pattern recognition abilities.
Do you use a automatic scanner to help you find those waves (e.g. the one available for amibroker) or are you scanning them by looking at a chart one by one ?
Which symbols are you scanning do you have criteria for them, maybe a certain amount of volatility average cash value per day ?

Hi FB2012,
This is one of the most common question asked to me when I train the traders. The answer is YES but NO!
Let me put this in an easy way. When I started trading WW , I had the same problem of identifying the points....filtering the trades, identifying the right volume and at one point of time I was even forcing the waves to look like WW....LOL! I still remember those days . I was running after the holy grail of identifying the WW found some but they are not worth chasing.............so I stopped and looked back and was astonished to notice that manual recognition of waves is more easy and promising than the indicators.......They don't work in all scenarios so I quit and trained myself in such a way that I can identify WWs in any instrument, any market, any time frame and believe me once u get it, its lot more easier to do that......................
Here's how I scan them............I go through the end of the day volume and identify the huge volume stocks and mark them and study their price patterns and wait for the confirmation for next few days ( EOD charts) , if volume drops the next few days and I'll find my EL (Entry Level ) and define my exposure SL (Stoploss) and trade them.
Where as SP500, ES or commodities are concerned I do Day trading following 5-min,15min, hourly and what ever the time frame may be even if it is 2-mins. If I feel comfortable with the pattern and my setup rules I trade them irrespective of the time frames and the instruments.............though it depends on the margin I have in my trading accounts................I hope this helps. Thank u

YEP volume is the smart way but it differs from trader to trader. Some of my fellow WW practitioners use other momentum indicators, some use order flow and other volume indicators.............but I use just volume. I have been practicing WW for a while now , my biggest challenge then and now is VOLUME.............RIGHT VOLUME identification...
Volume spike at point -5 and further decreasing volume is my criteria and right now i'm working on order flow....

Thought you had a formula that you liked, e.g. 2x moving average or something. I have a basic scan, but depending on day it can still generate 50-60 hits, so thinking maybe add some type of volume spike filter after reading this. Will play around with it, thanks.
Sorry,
I don't use any other formula or indicator. I just do a manual visual confirmation and verify other setup rules on which i work on and if i'm ok with the opportunity then I proceed.
Fibonacci support levels between 84.5-87 are crucial to watch. I will be entering into the trade only after the break of these levels......for the targets of 76-70...............
................I hope this helps. Thank u
