Spotted both correctly immediately after, i tracked back and confirmed 1-2, meaning 4-5 follows after 3 *yaay*
So then, after such 1-2-3-4-5, ABCs may follow. Always? (not sure)
Also, correctives after motives - can take 1-2-3-4-5 form or ABC form? OR ABC encapsulating fractal 1-2-3-4-5's? (I think so) - correct me
Lastly - where do diagonals come in? Are they capsules for correctives? or motives? or both? or all?
*edit i could get used to the colour codes. I get lost in all the numbers
there is no structure in EW of 5-3-3. This you have to know.
A five wave structure of 3, 3-3-3-3-3 (expanding, contracting, diagonal) may be impulsive in the form of wave c within a 5-3-5, v within an impulse (not a triangle though), an expanding diagonal may be a primary wave, but thats the only case. A triangle is not considered an impulse (i think?) but it is technically 5 waves. triangles are corrective none the less.
There are a lot of rules to know, dont underestimate that, but they are all simple and in simple terms. along with the rules, there are guidelines of how known structures tend to interact with one another, this is where character of structures comes into play. It is to easy to dismiss EW as astrology until one recognises how evidence compiles by guidelines and wave character to support counts. This is the element of plausibility, where the hard rules are the element of validity. Spend a few years studying EW and there will be magic times. It cant happen very often, but sometimes the form of a count is strong and supported by many various and compounding factors of evidence.The market tends so strongly to play out to textbook EW guidlines, not only in direction but character also, that those involved could hardly deny that it is truly the nature of the market observed. The best examples of this happening are the modest moves, Ending diagonals and triangles in particular.
