"Wolfe Waves represent a fight towards an equilibrium price and are- Bill Wolfe
one of the most reliable predictive reversal patterns in existence."
It is a naturally occurring trading pattern present in all financial markets. The pattern is composed of five waves showing supply and demand and a fight towards an equilibrium price. These patterns can develop over short- and long-term time frames such as minutes or weeks and are used to predict where a price is heading and when it will get there.
If identified correctly, Wolfe waves can be used to accurately predict the scope (equilibrium price) of the underlying security and to anticipate price reversals which are likely to cause big price movements. To identify Wolfe waves, they must have the following characteristics.
Wolfe Waves are amazingly easy to trade! The trade must be taken when the price closes above the trendline created by waves 1 and 3, and the last point of the wave should be used as a protective stop-loss.
The PZ Wolfe Waves indicator implements a trading filter which delays the signal until a price-based breakout takes place in the direction of the wave, making trades 99% deterministic and increasing the profit factor.
Because the indicator uses tops and bottoms to draw wolfe waves, the last leg of the wave must always repaint. However, the trading signal is based on the breakout of the trendline created by waves 1 and 3 and therefore trading decisions are deterministic and almost never repaint.
