| Feature | Why It Matters | |---|---| | | Waves and signals must never move or disappear after they appear. Repainting indicators give false confidence and cannot be backtested reliably. | | Multi‑Degree Analysis | Ability to view minor, intermediate, and primary wave degrees simultaneously provides a complete market context. | | Fibonacci Projections | Automatic calculation of retracement and extension levels (23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, 61.8%, 78.6%, 100%, 161.8%, 261.8%) turns wave structures into precise targets. | | Invalidation Alerts | An “x” mark or alert when a wave count breaks Elliott Wave rules helps you exit losing trades immediately. | | Volume Validation | Confirms that impulsive waves are accompanied by higher volume than corrective waves, adding an extra layer of confirmation. | | Multi‑Timeframe Compatibility | Works seamlessly across all timeframes, from M1 scalping to D1 position trading. | | Alert System | Popup, email, or mobile notifications for new wave completions, corrections, or invalidations. |
