Introduction

One of the most popular methods of market analysis is the Elliott Wave Principle. However, this process is quite complicated, which leads us to the use of additional instruments. One of such instruments is the automatic marker.

This article describes the creation of an automatic analyzer of Elliott Waves in the MQL5 language. It is assumed that the reader is already familiar with the wave theory, if not, you need to refer to the appropriate sources.


1. Elliott's Wave Principle

Elliott's Waves - is a theoretical model of market behavior, developed by Ralph Nelson Elliott, according to which all of the price movements on the market are subject to human psychology and are a cyclic process of changes of impulse waves, to the correctional and vice versa.

Impulse waves are a sequence of five price fluctuations, corrective waves - a sequence of three or five price fluctuations. Impulse waves in their form, structure, and the rules applicable to them, are of the following types:

1. Impulses:
Figure 1. Impulse
Figure 1. Impulse
  • The end of the second wave never comes over the beginning of the first wave;
  • The third wave always extends beyond the top of the first wave;
  • The end of the fourth wave never comes over the top of the first wave;
  • The third wave is never the shortest of all the acting waves;
  • The third wave is always an impulse;
  • The first wave may be either an impulse or a leading diagonal;
  • The fifth wave can be either an impulse or a diagonal;
  • The second wave could take the form of any corrective wave except a triangle;
  • The fourth wave could take the form of any correctional wave;
2. Leading diagonals:
Figure 2. Leading diagonal
Figure 2. Leading diagonal
  • The end of the second wave never comes over the beginning of the first wave;
  • The third wave always extends beyond the top of the first wave;
  • The end of the fourth wave always comes over the top of the first wave, but it never goes over the beginning of the third wave;
  • The third wave is never the shortest of all the acting waves;
  • The third wave is always an impulse;
  • The first wave may be either an impulse or a leading diagonal;
  • The fifth wave can be either an impulse or a diagonal;
  • The second wave could take the form of any corrective wave except a triangle;
  • The fourth wave could take the form of any correctional wave;
3. Diagonals:
Figure 3. Diagonal
Figure 3. Diagonal
  • The end of the second wave never comes over the beginning of the first wave;
  • The third wave always extends beyond the top of the first wave;
  • The end of the fourth wave usually comes over the top of the first wave, but it never goes over the top of the third wave;
  • The third wave is never the shortest of all the acting waves;
  • The first, second, and third waves could take the form of any corrective wave except a triangle;
  • The fourth and fifth wave could take the form of any corrective waves;
Corrective waves are classified into:
4. Zigzags:
Figure 4. Zigzag

  • Wave A may take the form of an impulse or a leading diagonal;
  • Wave C may take the form of an impulse or a diagonal;
  • Wave B can take the form of any corrective wave;
  • Wave C extends beyond the top of wave A;
  • The end of wave B does not go over the beginning of wave A;
5. Flats:

  • Wave Z extends beyond the top of wave Y;
  • The end of wave X does not go over the beginning of wave W;
  • The end of wave XX does not go over the beginning of wave Y;

  • Wave C never goes beyond the price limits of wave B;
  • Wave D never goes beyond the price limits wave C;
  • Wave E never goes beyond the price limits of wave D;
  • Wave A, wave B, and wave C may take the form of any corrective wave except a triangle;

  • Wave C is always greater in lengths than wave B
  • Wave D is always greater in length than wave C
  • Wave A, wave B, and wave C may take the form of any corrective wave except for the triangle
  • Wave D and wave E may take the form of any corrective wave

The wave models and rules, presented above, correspond only to the the classical notion of the wave analysis.

There is also its modern conception, formed during the study of the Forex market. For example, a new model of oblique (sliding) triangle is found, impulses with the triangle in the second wave are identified, etc.

As can be seen from the figures 1-11, each impulse or corrective wave consists of the same impulse and corrective waves (shown by the dashed line), but in a lesser degree. This is the so-called fractal (nesting) of Elliott's waves: waves of a large degree consist of waves of lesser degrees, which in turn, are composed of waves of much less, and so on.

On this note we can complete the short introduction to the Elliott Wave Principle and go on to the topic of automatic mark-up of waves.


2. Algorithm of the automatic mark-up of the Elliott Waves

As you have probably already realized, the Elliott Wave Analysis is a complex and multifaceted process. Therefore, people began from the very start to search for and apply instruments that help to ease it.

One such tool became the mechanism for automatic mark-up of the Elliott Waves.

We can distinguish two principles of auto-mark-ups:

  1. According to the fractality of waves, the analysis is carried out from top down, from the larger to the smaller waves;
  2. The analysis is carried out by a direct enumeration of all of the possible options.

A block diagram of the automatic analysis of the Elliott Waves is demonstrated in Figure 12.

Figure 12. A block diagram of the automatic analysis of Elliott Waves
Figure 12. A block diagram of the automatic analysis of Elliott Waves

Consider the algorithm in more detail, based on the example of the automatic mark-up of the impulse (see Figure 13).

On the first stage, at the required interval of time of the price chart, using the "Zigzag", the amount of points, necessary for making the mark-up, are highlighted. The number of points depends on which kind of wave we want to analyze. So, for the analysis of the Impulse, there are required six points - 5 vertexes and one point of beginning. If we were analyzing the Zigzag, then the number of required points would have been 4 - 3 vertexes and one point of beginning.

If the "Zigzag" has identified six points on the price chart, then we can immediately generate a mark-up of the Impulse: the first point - the starting point of the first wave, the second point - the vertex of the first wave, the third point - the vertex of the second wave, the fourth point - the vertex of the third wave, the fifth point - the vertex of the fourth wave, and the sixth point - the vertex of the fifth wave.

However, on Figure 13, the "Zigzag" has identified 8 points. In this case, it will be necessary to enumerate by these points, all of the possible options and mark-ups of the wave. And there will be five of them (marked with different colors). And each version of the mark-up will have to be checked according to the rules.

mark-up options
Figure 13. Options for marking the mark-up of an impulse

After checking against the rules, in case the mark-up of the wave is an Impulse by all of the parameters, all of its sub-waves are analyzed in the same manner.

The same applies to the analysis of all of the other impulse and corrective waves.

 

3. The types of waves for the automatic mark-up

As previously stated, the analysis will be conducted from the top to bottom, by giving the program instructions to find some wave on a given interval. However, on the largest interval, it is impossible to determine the state of the wave, its beginning and end. We will call such a wave unbegun and unfinished.

All waves can be divided into the following groups:

  1. Unbegun waves:
    1. Waves with an unbegun first wave - 1-2-3-4-5 (for example, an Impulse with an unbegun wave 1, the required number of points - 5), and 1-2-3 (for example, a Zigzag with an unbegun wave A; the required number of points - 3);
    2. Waves with an unbegun second wave - 2-3-4-5 (for example, a Diagonal with an unbegun wave 2, the required number of points - 4), and 2-3 (for example, a flat with an unbegun wave B; the required number of points -2);
    3. Waves with an unbegun third wave - 3-4-5 (for example, a Triple Zigzag with an unbegun wave Y; the required number of points - 3);
    4. Waves with an unbegun fourth wave - 4-5 (for example, a Triangle with an unbegun wave D; the required number of points -2);
    5. Waves with an unbegun fifth wave - 5 (for example, an Ipulse with an unbegun wave 5, the required number of points - 1);
    6. Waves with an unbegun third wave - 3 (for example, a double three with an unbegun wave Z; the required number of points - 1);
  2. Unfinished waves:
    1. Waves with an unfinished fifth wave - 1-2-3-4-5 (for example, an Impulse with an unfinished wave 5; the required number of points - 5);
    2. Waves with an unfinished fourth wave - 1-2-3-4> (for example, a Triple zigzag with an unfinished wave XX; the required number of points - 4);
    3. Waves with an unfinished third wave - 1-2-3> (for example, a leading diagonal from the unfinished wave 3, the required number of points -3);
    4. Waves with an unfinished second wave - 1-2> (for example, a Zigzag with an unfinished wave B; the required number of points -2);
    5. Waves with an unfinished first wave - 1> (for example, a flat with an unfinished wave A; the required number of points -1);
  3. Unbegun and unfinished waves:
    1. Waves with an unbegun first wave and an unfinished second wave -1-2>(for example, a Zigzag with an unbegun wave A and an unfinished wave B; the required number of points - 1);
    2. Waves with an unbegun second wave and an unfinished third wave - 2-3>(for example, a Zigzag with an unbegun wave B and an unfinished wave C; the required number of points - 1);
    3. Waves with an unbegun third wave and an unfinished fourth wave - 3-4>< (for example, an Impulse with an unbegun wave 3 and an unfinished wave 4, the required number of points - 1);
    4. Waves with an unbegun fourth wave and an unfinished fifth wave - 4-5> (for example, an Impulse with an unbegun wave 4 and an unfinished wave 5, the required number of points - 1);
    5. Waves with an unbegun first and an unfinished third wave - 1-2-3>(for example, the triple three with an unbegun wave W and an unfinished wave Y; the required number of points - 2);
    6. Waves with an unbegun second wave and an unfinished fourth wave -2-3-4>(for example, a leading diagonal with an unbegun wave 2 and an unfinished wave 4, the required number of points - 2);
    7. Waves with an unbegun third wave and an unfinished fifth wave - 3-4-5>(for example, a Diagonal with an unbegun wave 3 and an unfinished wave 5, the required number of points - 2);
    8. Waves with an unbegun first waste and with an unfinished fourth wave -1-2-3-4>(for example, a triple three with an unbegun wave W and an unfinished wave XX; the required number of points - 3);
    9. Waves with an unbegun second wave and an unfinished fifth wave - 2-3-4-5 (for example, an Impulse with an unbegun wave 2 and an unfinished wave 5; the required number of points - 3);
    10. Waves with an unbegun first wave and an unfinished fifth wave -1-2-3-4-5>(for example, a Triple zigzag with an unbegun wave W and an unfinished wave Z; the required number of points - 4);
  4. Completed waves - 1-2-3-4-5 (the required number of points - 6) and 1-2-3 (the required number of points - 4).

The sign "<" after the number of the wave, indicates that it has not begun. The sign ">"after the number of a wave, indicates that it is incomplete.

On the Figure 14 we can see the following waves:

  1. A wave with a first unbegun wave A -A -B-C;
  2. A wave with an unbegun first W and an unfinished second X wave -W<-X>;
  3. Completed waves B and C;

      Node.Child=new CArrayObj;

   string            Text;    // the marking of the wave
  };

 

5. The description of the function of the automatic analyzer of the Elliott Waves

To write the automatic analyzer of the Elliott Waves, we will need the following functions:

5.1. Zigzag

The search function of the extremums of the "Zigzags":

int Zigzag(intH,int Start,int Finish,CArrayInt *IndexVertex,CArrayDouble *ValueVertex)

A key element in the automatic analyzer of the Elliott Waves is the "Zigzag", by which the waves will be built. The calculation of the "Zigzag" by any parameter must be done very quickly.

In our analyzer, we will be using the "Zigzag", taken from the article "How to Write Fast Non-Redrawing ZigZags".

The Zigzag function calculates the Zigzag, with the parameter H in the interval from Start to Finish, and then records the found indexes of the vertexes and the values ​​of the vertexes, respectively, into the arrays IndexVertex and ValueVertex, the addresses of which are passed into this function.

The Zigzag function returns the number of found vertexes of the "Zigzag". 

5.2. FillZigZagArray

Function of the filling of "Zigzag" and the storage of its parameters: 

void FillZigzagArray(int Start,int Finish)

As was shown before, we will need to find the necessary number of points on the price chart for the mark-up of the wave. And therefore we will need to have an array of vertexes of the "Zigzag", with different parameters, which we then will iterate to find these points. 

The FillZigzagArray function calculates the "Zigzag" on the interval of the chart from Start to Finish, with all of the possible values ​​of the parameter H (until the number of vertexes of the "Zigzag" will not become equal to or less than two), stores the information about the found vertexes in the objects of class TZigzag, and records these objects into the global array ZigzagArray, the announcing of which is as follows:

CArrayObj *ZigzagArray;

5.3. FindPoints

The search function on the given interval requires the number of points on the price chart: 

bool FindPoints(int NumPoints,int IndexStart,int IndexFinish,double ValueStart,double ValueFinish,TPoints &Points)

The function FindPoints searches for at least three NumPoints points on the price chart, on the required range, from IndexStart to IndexFinish, with the required values ​​of the first and last points ValueStart and ValueFinish, and saves them (ie, points) into the structure of Points, the link of which is passed to this function .

The function FindPoints returns true, if the required number of points is found, otherwise, it returns false.

5.4. NotStartedAndNotFinishedWaves

The function of analysis of the unbegun and unfinished waves:

void NotStartedAndNotFinishedWaves(TWave *ParentWave,int NumWave,TNode *Node,string Subwaves,int Level)

The function NotStartedAndNotFinishedWaves analyzes all of the waves of the third group of waves - unbegun and unfinished. The function analyzes the NumWave wave (with a wave level Level), waves with the name ParentWave.Name, which may take the form of sub-wave waves (a form of a Zigzag, flats, Double zigzag, and (or), etc.). The analyzed wave NumWave will be stored in the node of the tree of waves, the child node Node.

For example, if the ParentWave.Name = "Impulse", NumWave = 5, Subwaves = "Impulse, Diagonal, and Level = 2, then we can say that the NotStartedAndNotFinishedWaves function will analyze the fifth wave of the Impulse, which has a wave level of two, and can take the form of an Impulse or a Diagonal.

As an example, we use a block-diagram of the algorithm analysis of the unbegun and unfinished waves 1<-2-3> in the NotStartedAndNotFinishedWaves function:

  <img alt="Figure 15. The Block-diagram of wave analysis with the formula "1"" title="Figure 15. The Block-diagram of wave analysis with the formula "1"" src="http://p.mql5.com/data/2/260/fig15.gif" style="vertical-align:middle;" height="1746" width="750">
Figure 15. The Block-diagram of wave analysis with the formula "1<-2-3>"

When using the NotStartedAndNotFinishedWaves function, the following functions are called: NotStartedWaves, NotFinishedWaves and FinishedWaves.

5.5. NotStartedWaves

The function for analysis of unbegun waves: 

void NotStartedWaves(TWave *ParentWave,int NumWave,TNode *Node,string Subwaves,int Level)

The NotStartedWaves function analyzes all of the waves of the first group of waves - the unbegun waves. The function analyzes the NumWave wave (with the wave level Level) of the wave called ParentWave.Name, which may take the form of sub-waves waves. The analyzed wave NumWave will be stored in the node of the tree of waves, the child node Node.

When the NotStartedWaves function is at work, the following functions are called: NotStartedWaves and FinishedWaves.

All waves are analyzed similarly to the block-diagram in the Figure 15. 

5.6. NotFinishedWaves

The function analysis of unfinished waves: 

void NotFinishedWaves(TWave *ParentWave,int NumWave,TNode *Node,string Subwaves,int Level)

The NotFinishedWaves function analyzes all of the waves of the second group of waves - unfinished waves. The function analyzes the NumWave wave (with the wave level Level) of the wave called ParentWave.Name, which can take the form of sub-wave waves. The analyzed wave NumWave will be stored in the node of the tree of waves, the child node Node.

When the NotFinishedWaves function is at work, the following functions are called: NotFinishedWaves and FinishedWaves.   

All waves are analyzed similarly to the block-diagram in the Figure 15.

5.7. FinishedWaves

The function analysis of completed (finished) waves: 

void FinishedWaves(TWave *ParentWave,int NumWave,TNode *Node,string Subwaves,int Level)

The FinishedWaves function analyzes all of the waves of the fourth group - the completed waves. The function analyzes the NumWave wave (with a wave level Level) of the wave called ParentWave.Name, which may take the form of a sub-waves waves. The analyzed wave NumWave will be stored in the node of the tree of waves, the child node Node.

When the FinishedWaves function is at work, the function FinishedWaves is called.   

All waves are analyzed similarly to the block-diagram in the Figure 15.

5.8. FindWaveInWaveDescription

The function of wave search in the data structure WaveDescription:

int FindWaveInWaveDescription(string NameWave)

The FindWaveInWaveDescription function, by the name of the wave NameWave, passed as a parameter, searches for it in the array of structures WaveDescription, and returns the index number, corresponding to this wave.

The array of WaveDescription structures looks the following way:

TWaveDescription WaveDescription[]=

The FindWaveInWaveDescription function is used in the function analysis of the following waves: NotStartedAndNotFinishedWaves, NotStartedWaves, NotFinishedWaves, and FinishedWaves. 

5.9. Already

The function which checks whether the given section of the chart has already been analyzed: 

bool Already(TWave *Wave,int NumWave,TNode *Node,string Subwaves)

Since the automatic analysis of the Elliott Waves occurs by the method of enumeration, a situation may arise when the given section of the chart has already been analyzed for the presence of a wave or a wave group. To know this, you need to save the link to the node in the tree of the waves of the already analyzed wave, and only then put out the link. All this happens in the function Already.

The Already function looks for a global array NodeInfoArray, which stores the objects of TNodeInfo class, the interval of the chart, corresponding to the wave NumWave, of the wave named Wave. Name, which has the shape of sub-waves waves, and records into the Node the address of the node of the already marked-up section of the chart. If this section doesn't exist, then a new object of TNodeInfo class is created and filled, and is recorded into the NodeInfoArray array.

The function returns true if the interval of the chart has already been analyzed, otherwise it returns false. 

The NodeInfoArray array is declared in the following way: 

CArrayObj NodeInfoArray;

5.10. The functions of checking the waves for the rules

It includes the functions VertexAAboveB, WaveAMoreWaveB and WaveRules, from which the first two functions are called. When testing, remember that the waves can be unbegun and (or) incomplete, and, for example, for the wave with the formula "1<-2-3>", it can not be determined whether the fourth wave has gone beyond the territory of the first wave because there is no fourth wave yet.

5.10.1. WaveRules

Function of checking the waves for the rules:

bool WaveRules(TWave *Wave)

The WaveRules function returns true if a wave, with the name Wave.Name, is "correct", otherwise, it returns false. In its work, the function WaveRules is called by the function VertexAAboveVertexB and WaveAMoreWaveB.

5.10.2. VertexAAboveVertexB

The function of checking the excess of one vertex over another vertex: 

int VertexAAboveVertexB(int A,int B,bool InternalPoints)

The VertexAAboveVertexB function returns the number > = 0, if the top of the A wave exceeded the top of the B wave, otherwise it returns -1. If the InternalPoints = true, then the internal points of waves (maximum and (or) minimum) values ​​of the waves) are taken into consideration.

5.10.3. WaveAMoreWaveB

The function of checking the excess of the length of one wave over the length of another:

int WaveAMoreWaveB(int A,int B)

The WaveAMoreWaveB function returns a number >=0 if wave A is larger than wave B, otherwise it returns -1.

11. The function of clearing the memory

5.11.1. ClearTree

The function of clearing the tree of waves with the top node Node: 

void ClearTree(TNode *Node)

5.11.2. ClearNodeInfoArray

The function clears the array ClearNodeInfoArray: 

void ClearNodeInfoArray()

5.11.3. ClearZigzagArray

The function for clearing the array ZigzagArray:

void ClearZigzagArray()

5.12. The function of bypassing the tree waves and issuing of the analysis results to the chart

After the completion of the automatic analysis of the Elliott Waves, we have a tree of waves.

Its example can be presented as on the figure below:

 Figure 16. An example of a tree of waves
Figure 16. An example of a tree of waves

Now, to display the results of the analysis on the chart, we need to get around the given tree. As shown in Figure 16, there are quiet a few options (since there are several options of waves), and each option of a bypass leads to a different mark-ups.

We can distinguish two types of tree nodes.

The first type - nodes with the wave names ("Impulse", "Zigzag" etc.). The second type - nodes with wave number ("1", "1<", "etc.). All of the information about the parameters of the wave is stored in the first type of the nodes. Therefore, when visiting these nodes, we will retrieve and record information about the wave, in order to then display it on the chart.

For simplicity, we will bypass the tree, visiting only the first versions of the waves.

An example of a bypass is shown in Figure 17 and is highlighted in red.

Figure 17. Example of bypassing a wave tree
Figure 17. Example of bypassing a wave tree

5.12.1. FillLabelArray

The function of bypassing a wave tree:

void FillLabelArray(TNode *Node)

The FillLabelArray function bypasses the wave tree with the root Node, attending only the first versions of the waves in the tree, and fills a global array LabelArray, the indexes of which, store a link to the array of vertexes (array of objects of class TLabel), with has the given index on the chart.

The LabelArray array is defined as follows: 

CArrayObj *LabelArray[];

5.12.2. CreateLabels

The function of displaying the analysis results on the chart: 

void CreateLabels()

The CreateLabels function creates the graphical objects "Text", corresponding to the wave tags on the chart. The tags of the waves are created based on the array LabelArray.

5.12.3. CorrectLabel

The updating function of (correcting) the tops of waves on the chart: 

void CorrectLabel()

The CorrectLabel function corrects the wave tags on the chart when it is scrolled and (or) during its restriction.

7. The function of initialization, de-provisioning, and event processing

In the OnInit function, the control buttons of the automatic Elliott Wave analyzer are created.

The following buttons are created:

  1. "Begin Analysis" - an automatic analysis of the waves occurs
  2. "Show results" - the display of the wave marks on the chart occurs,
  3. "Clear chart" - a clearing of the memory and the deletion of wave marks from the chart occurs,
  4. "Correct the marks" - corrects the marks of waves on the chart.

The processing of pressing these buttons takes place in the function of event processing OnChartEvent.

In the function OnDeinit, all graphical objects are removed from the chart, including the control buttons.

We have reviewed all of the functions of the automatic analyzer of Elliott Waves.

 

8. Ways to improve the program

The automatic mark-up of Elliott Waves program, written in MQL5, has several shortcomings:

  1. An imperfect system of checking the markup rules. For example, when checking by the rules, the Fibonacci relationships between the waves are not taken into account, according to both, time and price.
  2. The presence of unpartitioned sections on the chart (gaps in the markup). This means that a correct wave can not be built based on the points taken from the given time interval. The way out of this situation is to increase the number of points in order to identify a particular wave. For example, to find the impulse, look for 8 or more points, rather than for 6 point.
  3. The results of the markup do not display any additional information, for example, channels are not constructed automatically, goals are not evaluated, etc.
  4. The implementation of working with the waves tree is not provided in this article (you can not select a specific version of the markup), therefor the chart displays only one of many options for a markup (the first version of the markup).
  5. Regardless of the fact that the chart displays only one variant of the waves, all of the other options are stored in the memory and take up its space.
  6. The program focuses on the mark-up of Monthly to Daily charts, as the operation is very slow when there is a large number of bars (it can take hours to mark-up an hourly graph). An example of a mark-up of a monthly chart of EURUSD is shown in Figure 18.

Conclusion

This article reviewed an algorithm of the automatic analysis of Elliott Waves. This algorithm was implemented in the MQL5 language.

The program has a number of shortcomings, discussed above, and gives reason for their further elimination. I hope that this issue will interest the fans of the Elliott Waves, and soon there will appear many programs with the automatic analysis of waves.

this is not working  

lot's of errors

please fix it.

This is the old good code and exercise to sort of get into EW. The code has 2 bugs. One is in Datastructures.mqh

One need to add public before CObject

class TNodeInfo:public CObject
  {
public:
   int               IndexStart,IndexFinish;  // the range of the already analyzed section
   double            ValueStart,ValueFinish;  // the edge value of the already analyzed section
   string            Subwaves;                // the name of the wave and the group of the waves
   TNode            *Node;                    // the node, pointing to the already analyzed range of the chart
  };

and in the main code Elliott_wave_en.mql5  function Zigzag has the same name as other variables so just change it to Zigzagf and corresponding calls. Then complier will only show warnings.

Although it is not perfect, but useful to practice marking waves.
