Trade Setups

5 concrete Elliott Wave setups as strategy cards: wave-3 long, wave-C reversal, triangle breakout, diagonal termination, Fibonacci confluence.

1. ⚡ The 5 Wave Trading Setups at a Glance

All five setups are based on the Elliott Wave structure. They are stored as strategy cards in the platform and can be linked directly to your trades in the trading journal.

SetupTypeRiskWave position
Wave-3 LongTrend entry⭐⭐⭐End of Wave 2 (entry into Wave 3)
Wave-C ReversalCounter-trend⭐⭐⭐⭐End of Wave C (ABC completion)
Triangle BreakoutTrend entry⭐⭐⭐End of Wave E (Wave 4 or B)
Diagonal TerminationReversal⭐⭐⭐⭐End of an ending diagonal (Wave 5 or C)
Fibonacci ConfluencePrecision entry⭐⭐⭐Variable — at confluence zones

⚠️ Risk note: All setups require a clear invalidation level as a stop-loss. Without a defined stop, no Elliott Wave setup is a valid trade.

2. 📋 Setup Parameters: Entry, Stop, Target, Invalidation

Every setup has four mandatory parameters that must be defined before the trade:

  1. Entry: Concrete price or condition (e.g. break of the Wave-1 high)
  2. Stop: Invalidation level (e.g. Wave-2 low)
  3. Target: Fibonacci extension level (e.g. 161.8% of Wave 1)
  4. Invalidation: What invalidates the wave count (always one of the three main rules)

The full setup logic for all five setups is documented in the strategy cards. In the app navigate to Strategies → Group: Wave Trading.
