Always base your trade entries and exits using ART grounded assess-
ment trading signals.

Most traders get whipsawed and lose money in wave 4. Don’t assume
wave 4 is over until you can clearly see an a-b-c wave pattern with

the correction ending 38 percent to 61.8 percent between wave 2 and
wave 3. Wave B is usually 50 percent of wave A and should not exceed
75 percent of wave A. Wave C is 1

If wave 2 is simple, then wave 4 will most likely be complex, and vice
versa.

Corrective wave 2 statistics: Only 12 percent retrace within 38 percent
of wave 1; 73 percent retrace between 50 percent and 60 percent, and
15 percent retrace below 62 percent.
10.
Impulsive wave 3 statistics: 45 percent of the time wave 3 reaches
1.6 to 1.75 times wave 1; 30 percent of the time between 1.75 to
2.62 times wave 1; 15 percent of the time between 1.00 to 1.60 times
wave 1; and 8 percent of the time greater than 2.62 times wave 1.
11.
Corrective wave 4 statistics: 60 percent retrace between 30 percent
and 50 percent of wave 3; 15 percent retrace between 24 percent and
30 percent of wave 3; and 15 percent retrace between 50 percent and
62 percent of wave 3.
12.
Impulsive wave 5 statistics: Use extended Fibonacci calculations to
determine the price zone for wave 5. Wave 5 usually ends between
1.0 and 1.62 times the length of the beginning of wave 1 to the end
of wave 3. Failed wave 5s do occur.
13.
If you enter a potential wave 5 trade at a wave 4 Fibonacci retracement
level (i.e., 38 percent or 50 percent), set your stop somewhere around
the 62 percent retracement level because the normal maximum wave
4 retracement level is 61.8 percent. Be sure to adjust your position size
accordingly. Then, once you are sure you are in wave 5, add on to your
position size using any ART signal that you can.

Trade
only
in the direction of waves 1, 3, 5, and C (of wave 4) on the
primary time frame that you use to base your entries and exits.
15.
To confirm or filter your trades, trade
only
in the direction of waves
1, 3, 5, and C (of wave 4) on the higher time frame of one Fibonacci
degree.
16.
Wave counts can change, and it is possible at many points to have al-
ternate wave counts. For example, you may think you are in a wave
4 correction until the correction exceeds its maximum retracement
level and instead turns into an impulsive wave 3 in the opposite di-
rection! So you must adhere to your stops!
Figure 31.3 is an example of using both grounded and ungrounded
trading assessments. See how the Pyramid Trading Point adds structure to
Elliott Wave theory.
