#الدرس 12 in trading: Waves #إليوت (Elliott Waves) - A Brief Introduction
Elliott Waves are a theory used to analyze financial markets through psychological patterns that recur in the behavior of traders. The theory states that the market moves in *waves*, which reflect the state of optimism and pessimism among investors.
Types of waves:
1. Impulse Waves:
- Composed of 5 waves (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).
- Move in the direction of the overall market trend.
- Wave 3 is often the strongest.
2. Corrective Waves:
- Composed of 3 waves (A, B, C).
- Move against the overall trend.
Benefits of Elliott Waves:
- Accurately identify entry and exit points.
- Predict the end of a trend or the beginning of a correction.
*Important Information:*
The theory does not always work automatically and requires experience and practice to accurately distinguish the waves.
In the next lesson, God willing, we will take a practical example of Elliott Waves.
