1. Corrective Wave – Combination
The Corrective Combination involves combining 2 or 3 different corrective wave patterns together. These patterns are marked as WXY (Double Three) and WXYXZ (Triple Three) if they are more complex. The sequence starts with a Zigzag (wave W), followed by a wave X, and then a Flat pattern (wave Y), and so on.
The Double Three (D3) pattern is more common, while the Triple Three (T3) pattern is less frequently encountered.
All corrective patterns can be combined to form larger corrective structures. The rules of corrective waves are applied to the mentioned patterns as well. The Triangle pattern often appears at the end of a Combination pattern.
In general, combined wave patterns are mostly found in waves 4, B, and X. They are less likely to appear in wave A and rarely in wave 2.
Principles
- Wave (W) can follow any corrective wave pattern except for Triangle patterns (Contracting, Expanding) and Double or Triple patterns.
- Wave (X) can follow any corrective wave pattern except for Double or Triple patterns. Typically, wave (X) takes the form of a Zigzag (ZZ). The minimum retracement level of wave (X) is 50% of wave (W); the maximum retracement level of wave (X) is 400% of wave (W).
- Wave (Y) can follow any corrective pattern except for Double or Triple patterns. Wave (Y) must have a higher price range than wave (X), except when wave (Y) is a Triangle pattern (Contracting, Expanding).
- Wave (Z) can follow any corrective pattern except for Double or Triple patterns. However, wave (Z) cannot be a Zigzag (ZZ) if wave (Y) is a Zigzag (ZZ). Wave (Z) must have a higher price range than the second wave (X).
Double Three Wave Model
The Double Three (D3) pattern is formed by combining two corrective wave patterns, with the condition that they are not both Zigzag (ZZ) patterns, connected by a short corrective wave pattern called wave (X).
The Double Three (D3) pattern is represented by waves (W)-(X)-(Y), where waves (W) and (Y) are not both Zigzag (ZZ) patterns.
Details of Double Three wave structure
Wave (W) is a Zigzag (ZZ), while wave (Y) takes the form of either Triangle patterns (Contracting, Expanding) or Flat patterns (FL).
Wave (W) takes the form of Flat patterns (FL), while wave (Y) can be in the form of Flat patterns (FL), Zigzag (ZZ), or Triangle patterns (Contracting, Expanding).
Triple Three Wave model
The Triple Three (T3) pattern is formed by combining three corrective wave patterns, with the condition that they are not all Zigzag (ZZ) patterns, connected by two short corrective wave patterns called waves (X).
The Triple Three (T3) pattern is represented by waves (W)-(X)-(Y)-(X)-(Z), where waves (W), (Y), and (Z) are not all Zigzag (ZZ) patterns.
Details of Triple Three Wave structure
Wave (W) takes the form of Zigzag (ZZ) patterns, while wave (Y) is in the form of Flat patterns (FL), and wave (Z) is in the form of Triangle patterns (Contracting, Expanding):
Wave (W) takes the form of Flat patterns (FL), while wave (Y) and wave (Z) can be in the form of Flat patterns (FL), Zigzag (ZZ), or Triangle patterns (Contracting, Expanding). However, wave (Z) cannot be a Zigzag (ZZ) if wave (Y) is already a Zigzag (ZZ).
