The Elliott wave principle is a form of that use to analyze financial and forecast by identifying extremes in investor psychology, highs and lows in prices, and other collective factors. (1871–1948), a professional accountant, discovered the underlying social principles and developed the analytical tools in the 1930s. He proposed that market prices unfold in specific patterns, which practitioners today call 'Elliott waves', or simply 'waves'. Elliott published his theory of market behavior in the book The Wave Principle in 1938, summarized it in a series of articles in Financial World magazine in 1939, and covered it most comprehensively in his final major work, Nature's Laws: The Secret of the Universe in 1946.
Elliott stated that 'because man is subject to rhythmical procedure, calculations having to do with his activities can be projected far into the future with a justification and certainty heretofore unattainable.' The empirical validity of the Elliott wave principle remains the subject of debate. Elliott's essay, 'The Basis of the Wave Principle', October 1940.The Elliott Wave Principle posits that collective investor psychology, or, moves between optimism and pessimism in natural sequences. These mood swings create patterns evidenced in the price movements of markets at every degree of or time scale.In Elliott's model, market prices alternate between an impulsive, or motive phase, and a corrective phase on all time scales of trend, as the illustration shows. Impulses are always subdivided into a set of 5 lower-degree waves, alternating again between motive and corrective character, so that waves 1, 3, and 5 are impulses, and waves 2 and 4 are smaller retraces of waves 1 and 3. Corrective waves subdivide into 3 smaller-degree waves starting with a five-wave counter-trend impulse, a retrace, and another impulse. In a the dominant trend is downward, so the pattern is reversed—five waves down and three up.
Motive waves always move with the trend, while corrective waves move against it.Degree The patterns link to form five and three-wave structures which themselves underlie wave structures of increasing size or higher degree. Note the lowermost of the three idealized cycles. In the first small five-wave sequence, waves 1, 3 and 5 are motive, while waves 2 and 4 are corrective.
This signals that the movement of the wave one degree higher is upward. It also signals the start of the first small three-wave corrective sequence. After the initial five waves up and three waves down, the sequence begins again and the self-similar fractal geometry begins to unfold according to the five and three-wave structure which it underlies one degree higher. The completed motive pattern includes 89 waves, followed by a completed corrective pattern of 55 waves.Each degree of a pattern in a financial market has a name. Practitioners use symbols for each wave to indicate both function and degree—numbers for motive waves, letters for corrective waves (shown in the highest of the three idealized series of wave structures or degrees).
Degrees are relative; they are defined by form, not by absolute size or duration. ^ Elliott, Ralph Nelson (1994). Prechter, Robert R., Jr. Elliott's Masterworks. Gainesville, GA: New Classics Library. Pp. 70, 217, 194, 196.

All waves, except the tiniest actions (such as would be found on a one-minute bar chart or a tick chart), break down into even smaller waves. This is commonly referred to as the fractal 5 nature of stock price movement.
Some scientists have found evidence of fractals in market prices as well, relating the patrems to chaos theory. One of the most common errors I have seen made in applying EWT is to assume that fivewave cycles.
