[TP] Elliott Wave - Mentor

Elliott Wave says a move often comes in five swings: three with the move and two against it. This indicator puts the numbers 1 to 5 on a run of confirmed swings only when the run passes all three classic rules, shows each rule check in words, and calls every count possible, because other counts can fit.

It never labels a run that is still forming and never draws a path ahead. After each possible count, it watches the next 30 finished candles and records what happened: kept going past wave 5, came back past wave 4, or neither. The panel shows this chart's own count, both outcomes side by side, and its header does not pick a side. Every number on the panel comes from this chart. The counts are history, not promises.

What it is in 30 seconds

Elliott Wave is a classic way of reading a move as five swings. It is also famous for how many ways one chart can be counted. Ours does one narrow, honest job: it numbers a run only when three fixed rules pass, shows you each rule check, and counts what past possible counts on this chart did next. It describes the past. It does not say what comes next.

Three rules, shown

Wave 2 stays beyond the start of wave 1, wave 3 is not the shortest, and wave 4 stays out of wave 1's range. The panel's rule check says which passed and which missed, in words. Full view lists each rule on its own line.

Always "possible"

Every count is one mechanical reading. The numbers' tooltip and the rule block in Full view both say other counts can fit. Runs that miss a rule stay as plain swing dots.

It counts, it does not guess

Each past possible count is sorted into kept going, came back or neither. The panel shows the count on this chart, both outcomes side by side, and does not lean.

What counts as a possible count here

Wave tools disagree with each other, and many never say which rules they check. This one uses one swing size, three rules and one shape check, writes each check on the chart, and never changes a count after drawing it.

  1. 1. Six confirmed swingsA swing is confirmed once five candles have closed on each side of it (Balanced, the default). If two highs or two lows arrive in a row, the more extreme one is kept, so the swings always alternate.
  2. 2. The shapeFor a run up: low, high, low, higher high, higher low, higher high again. Wave 3 must end beyond wave 1, and wave 5 beyond wave 3. A run down is the exact mirror.
  3. 3. The three rulesWave 2 does not go past the start of wave 1. Wave 3 is not the shortest of waves 1, 3 and 5. Wave 4 does not dip into wave 1's range. All three must pass.
Drawn late, on purpose

The numbers go on when the sixth swing confirms, five candles after it on Balanced. So a count always appears some candles after its wave 5 swing. Nothing is drawn from a run that is still forming.

Never moved

Once drawn, the numbers stay on their swings for good. If a later run reads the chart differently, it gets its own numbers; the earlier count is not relabelled.

One window at a time

Runs never share a swing, and while a count's 30-candle window is open no new count is taken. The same candles are never counted twice.

Each part, up close

Counts up and counts down are treated the same way, mirrored, and counted separately. The marks use shapes, never arrows, and all of them share one neutral colour, so their meaning lives in the shape.

 Confirmed swing

Every confirmed swing high and low gets one small neutral dot. A dot appears only after the chosen number of candles has closed on each side, so it is always drawn late, and it never moves. Hover it and the tooltip says "Confirmed swing. It arrived after the selected right-side candles closed."

Runs that miss a rule keep their dots and get no numbers. Seeing "no count passes here" is a full answer. "Show HH, HL, LH, LL" and "Show swing prices" add plain words or prices to recent swings; both are off by default to keep the chart quiet. "Show swing line", also off by default, joins the confirmed swings with one neutral line; "Line width" sets how thick.

Back to the chart

 Possible count

When six confirmed swings in a row pass the shape check and all three rules, the five swings after the start get the numbers 1 to 5 in small neutral type. Hover a number and the tooltip says "Possible count; other counts fit." and adds one size from the finished run: "Wave 1 completed.", "Wave 2 went back Nx wave 1.", "Wave 3 was Nx wave 1.", "Wave 4 went back Nx wave 3." or "Wave 5 was Nx wave 1." These compare waves that are already over. Nothing is drawn from them.

Only finished five-wave runs are counted. No corrections, triangles, diagonals or waves inside waves, and no run that is still forming. A shortened fifth wave fails the shape check in this version.

 Kept going

From the candle where a count is confirmed, the indicator watches the next 30 finished candles. Kept going means a candle closed beyond the wave 5 swing (above it for a count up, below it for a count down) before any close back past wave 4.

The circle sits centred on the wave 5 high (the wave 5 low for a count down) and appears only once the result is in. Hover it and the tooltip says "Kept going".

 Came back

A square means a candle closed back past the wave 4 swing first: below it for a count up, above it for a count down. The tooltip says "Came back past wave 4".

Only closes decide. A long wick through either swing decides nothing.

Close-up of a neither ring on a dark EURUSD one-hour chart: a hollow ring centred on the wave 5 low, with 30 candles that stayed between wave 4 and wave 5.

 Neither

A hollow ring means neither close happened within the 30 candles. Every unclear case lands here. The tooltip says "Neither". It has no number in the guide because the NAS100 daily chart above has none: all 12 of its marks are circles or squares. The EURUSD one-hour chart further down has one.

The chart keeps the last 12 marks by default ("Past marks to show", 0 to 30), all in one neutral colour. Each mark sits centred on the wave 5 high (the wave 5 low for a count down). "Mark size" (Tiny, Small, Normal or Large; Normal by default) sets how large they draw and changes nothing else. "Mark past events" switches them off without changing the panel's counts, which use every settled outcome in the last 5000 finished candles.

Close-up of the panel header on a light chart: [TP] WAVES followed by No clear lean in a muted colour. Close-up of the panel header on a dark chart: [TP] WAVES followed by No clear lean in a muted colour.

Header

The header reads "[TP] WAVES |" and then one of two phrases, in a muted colour:

  • "No count now": the latest six confirmed swings do not pass every rule.
  • "No clear lean": a possible count is on the chart, and the panel does not pick a side.

The header never picks a side. This chart's own count, on the rows below, shows both outcomes side by side, and the weighing is yours. Our own offline research on the three rules is further down this page, in a block marked Titan research. The panel never shows it.

Panel rows

Under the header, the panel reads the direction of the latest possible count. Counts up and counts down are counted separately. The rows, in order:

  • The count in words: "No 5-swing run passes all 3 rules now.", "Possible 5-swing count up, rules met." or "Possible count up ended 14 candles ago." (worked example)
  • This chart, both outcomes side by side: "Here: 7 kept, 5 came back." (worked example), or "Too few here to count yet (5)." under 8 settled outcomes.
  • From 8 settled outcomes, the rest: "3 of 15 were neither." (worked example). This row only appears when at least one run was neither; with none, it is left out and the rows below move up.
  • In Compact, one rule check row in gold when a rule was missed: "Rule check: missed W3, W4, shape.", or "Rule check: W2, W3, W4 and shape met." when all pass. Full view drops this row and shows the four-line rule block instead.
  • One teaching line, which changes with each new count: "A count is one reading; others fit too.", "Rules met is not the same as right.", "Swings confirm 5 candles late by design.", "Another reader may count this otherwise." or "Counts describe the past, not a path." With fewer than 12 qualifying runs in the window it says "Clean five-wave runs are rare here: 9." instead (worked example).
  • The footer: "Closed candles, last 5000. Not advice."

The default Compact panel on the chart at the top of this page (NAS100, daily, read 19 Oct 2026 from the published script, on the last candle of 16 Oct), top to bottom. The latest count there was a count up. None of its 12 settled outcomes was neither, so that row is left out:

  • The header: "[TP] WAVES | No count now"
  • The count: "No 5-swing run passes all 3 rules now."
  • This chart: "Here: 9 kept, 3 came back."
  • The rule check, in gold: "Rule check: missed W3, W4, shape."
  • The teaching line: "Another reader may count this otherwise."
  • The footer: "Closed candles, last 5000. Not advice."

Rule check

At the default Compact, the panel tests the latest six confirmed swings in one gold row, for example "Rule check: missed W3, W4, shape.", or "Rule check: W2, W3, W4 and shape met." when every rule passes.

Switch "Panel detail" to Full and that row gives way to a separate five-line block (bottom right by default). The title says "Possible count. Other counts can fit." or "No possible count. Other counts can fit." Then one line per rule, and one for the shape:

Wave 2"W2 stayed above the W1 start: rule met." ("below" for a count down) / "W2 went past the W1 start: rule missed."

Wave 3"W3 is not the shortest: rule met." / "W3 is the shortest of 1, 3, 5: rule missed."

Wave 4"W4 stayed out of W1's range: rule met." / "W4 dipped into W1's range: rule missed."

Shape"Waves 3 and 5 extended: shape met." / "Waves 3 and 5 did not extend: shape missed."

A missed rule is shown in gold, so it stands out without red or green. "Show rule checks" hides both the row and the block; "Rule-check position" moves the Full view block.

Back to the chart

Still open, and still forming

Two optional extras, both off by default. "Show still-open event" puts one gold ring, the same size as the other marks, at wave 5 while its 30 candles are being measured; the tooltip says "Still open, not counted yet". "Show forming leg" joins the latest confirmed swing to the live candle with a dotted line; the tooltip says "Forming, not counted".

Neither is ever counted, and neither turns into a number. A run is only numbered once all six of its swings are confirmed.

Back to the chart

Close-up of the Full panel on a dark chart: the lower rows, with the higher-timeframe line, the Changes if line and the mark legend above the footer.

Full detail

"Panel detail" on Full swaps the one-line rule check for the four-line rule block and adds two rows. First, what would change the read, which is always the count's own swing: "Changes if: a close above the wave 5 high." for a count up, "Changes if: a close below the wave 5 low." for a count down, or "Changes if: all 3 rules pass." when there is no count. Then the legend "● kept ■ came back ○ neither".

Turn on "Show higher-timeframe context" (off by default) and Full adds one more row: the same confirmed-swing rule read on one finished higher timeframe, for example "Agrees: the 1W swings step higher.", "Neutral: the 1W swings are mixed." or "Disagrees: the 1W swings step lower." on a daily chart. When this chart's older and newer counts point different ways, it reads "Mixed: older and newer counts differ." instead. It works on intraday, daily and higher charts, and it never changes a count, an outcome or the header.

How the Mentor helps you at every level

Same indicator, same panel. What you take from it grows with you. The quoted lines are the panel's own words. Counts marked as a worked example illustrate the format and are not from a chart.

  1. Level 1

    Beginner

    What gets in the way

    • Believing a chart has one right wave count.
    • Tools that move their numbers after the fact, so every past count looks right.
    • Counts drawn on swings that have not finished yet.

    The habit it builds: seeing a count as one reading, drawn by rules you can check.

    What the Mentor says

    Teaching line"A count is one reading; others fit too."

    Teaching line"Another reader may count this otherwise."

  2. Level 2

    Intermediate

    What gets in the way

    • Not knowing which rule a count broke, so every run of five looks like a count.
    • Forgetting that swings are confirmed late.
    • Letting a long wick decide what happened after a count.

    The habit it builds: checking the three rules first, and judging what followed on closes only.

    What the Mentor says

    Rule check, Compact panel"Rule check: missed W3, W4, shape."

    Rule block, Full view"W4 dipped into W1's range: rule missed."

  3. Level 3

    Advanced

    What gets in the way

    • Remembering the counts that played out and forgetting the ones that did not.
    • Trusting a handful of past counts on one chart.
    • Reading only the kept count and skipping the came back count beside it.

    The habit it builds: reading this chart's kept and came back counts as one thought, with the sample size in mind.

    What the Mentor says

    This chart, NAS100 daily"Here: 9 kept, 3 came back."

    The rest, worked example"3 of 15 were neither."

  4. Level 4

    Expert

    What gets in the way

    • Treating "the rules passed" as "the count is right".
    • Sketching waves that have not happened in your head and calling it analysis.
    • Changing the swing setting until an old chart counts cleanly.

    The habit it builds: a steady second pair of eyes: the same plain read on every chart, with its limit every time.

    What the Mentor says

    Teaching line"Rules met is not the same as right."

    Teaching line"Counts describe the past, not a path."

It reads both directions the same way

Possible count up Five swings rising

Kept going means a close above wave 5.

"Possible 5-swing count up, rules met."

Possible count down Five swings falling

Mirrored: kept going means a close below wave 5.

"Possible 5-swing count down, rules met."

Few clean runs Either direction

Its own answer, said plainly.

"Clean five-wave runs are rare here: 9." (worked example)

Three things to remember

  1. A count is one reading. The rules are on the chart. Read them before reading anything into the numbers.
  2. Read both outcomes together. "9 kept" sounds like something until you see how few counts there were, and that 3 came back on the same chart.
  3. History, not a path. Nothing is drawn ahead of price. The next move can go either way.

Honest about timing, honest about limits

Why every count is drawn late

A swing is only confirmed once five candles have closed after it (on Balanced), and a count only exists once its sixth swing is confirmed. So the numbers always appear some candles after wave 5. Nothing is drawn from a candle that is still open, and no number, count or mark changes once it is final. Bar Replay shows exactly what the chart showed at the time.

What it does not do

No path drawn ahead, no levels ahead of price, no ratios drawn forward (the wave sizes in the number tooltips describe finished waves only), no percentages, no scores and no colour without words. It does not count corrections, triangles, diagonals or waves inside waves. This chart's counts come from one chart, one timeframe and the settled outcomes of the last 5000 finished candles, and clean runs are rare, so the sample is often small.

Titan research

What we found when we tested the three rules offline

We tested this rule on 161 to 196 markets offline. This is our research, not something the indicator reads on your chart.

We compared runs that passed all three rules with runs of the same five-swing shape that broke at least one, over the next 30 finished candles. On daily charts (since 2020), after a count up, 46 in 100 rule-passing runs kept going (188 markets), against 49 in 100 for the rule-breaking runs. After a count down, 49 in 100 came back (161 markets), against 42. On one-hour charts (the last year), after a count up both kept going 45 times in 100 (196 markets); after a count down 45 in 100 came back (189 markets), against 38. So in our test the three rules made little difference. It is history from many markets, and it says nothing certain about the next count on your chart.

Alerts

Each alert says what happened, once, after a candle closes. Two conditions are in TradingView's alert dialog. Neither tells you what to do.

  • A possible five-wave count completedA run of six confirmed swings passed every rule on a finished candle.
  • An outcome settledA past count's 30-candle result is in: kept going, came back or neither.

Open TradingView's alert dialog, pick this indicator in the condition box, and choose the condition by name. Each one fires once per event. The two "Alert when" switches in the settings turn each condition off at the source.

What is an Elliott Wave count, in plain words?

A way of reading a move as five swings: three with the move (waves 1, 3 and 5) and two against it (waves 2 and 4). Three rules say what a valid count cannot do. Any count describes swings that already happened. It does not say what price does next.

Why does it always say "possible"?

Because the same chart can be counted in more than one way, and careful analysts often disagree. This indicator applies one swing size and three fixed rules. That gives one mechanical reading, not the answer, and every label says so.

Does it repaint?

No. Swings are confirmed only after their candles close, numbers go on only when the sixth swing confirms, and outcomes, marks, counts and alerts all wait for finished candles. Every count is drawn some candles after wave 5. Once drawn, a number never moves and a result never changes.

Why does it show no lean?

Because it is not built to pick a side. Every number on the panel comes from the chart it sits on, and one chart has few clean runs, so the panel shows both outcomes and leaves the reading to you. Our own offline test of the three rules is on this page, in the Titan research block. It is our research, and the panel never shows it.

The panel used to show lines about many markets. Where did they go?

We took them off on 19 Oct 2026. A live indicator should only show numbers that come from the chart it sits on, and those lines were figures from our own offline research. The research is still on this page, in the block marked Titan research.

Does it show where price goes next?

No. It draws no wave ahead of price, no levels and no ratios to the right of the last candle. The sizes in the number tooltips compare waves that are already over. "Changes if" names the count's own swing, a price that already exists. Decisions stay with you.

Why are there so few counts?

Because a clean run of six alternating swings that passes every rule is rare, and runs never share a swing. With fewer than 12 qualifying runs in the window, the panel says so: "Clean five-wave runs are rare here: 9." (worked example). A longer history or a different timeframe gives more.

The chart looks busy. What can I do?

Lower "Past marks to show" or set "Mark size" to Small or Tiny, turn off "Show confirmed swing dots" or "Show rule checks", and keep "Panel detail" on Compact for ten rows or fewer, with the rule check in one row. Pick a spot under "Where to put the panel" and "Rule-check position".
