Bill Wolfe – Wolfe Waves

The Wolfe Wave (Not to be confused with The Elliot Wave), discovered by Bill Wolfe, is a naturally occurring, harmonic trading pattern and is generally seen as a reversal pattern. The pattern is made up of five waves (fives distinctive bull & bear movements within a channel) showing supply and demand and the fight between supply and demand towards setting a new 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 will break-out of it’s channel and where price will go after the break. When correctly exploited, Wolfe Waves can be extremely effective.

It’s Reversal Qualities

An upward sloping trending channel will result in a bearish reversal of price and a downward sloping trend channel will result in a bullish reversal of price.

Generally the Wolfe wave can be seen when the price is contained within a channel and can give traders a good idea when the price is going to break-out of the channel and reverse. These channels can be parallel as per our Range and Channel Trading section, or can converge as per Wedge Patterns. Within these channels the Wolfe Wave has an amazing symmetrical pattern, with the wave cycles having equal time intervals between them.

The Wolfe Wave’s Psychology

Bill Wolfe suggests that the wolf wave is a naturally occurring harmonic pattern, found in all financial charts, all of the time. This suggests that there’s no psychology behind it. If you want to get to grips with the psychological mindset of the market, then other technical analysis will have to be utilised. For instance the use of volume, support & resistance and price action may be useful in understanding the market’s psychological state. Of course, Bill Wolfe and his disciples would be against the use of additional indicators, as Wolfe suggests that the Wolfe Wave stands alone in it’s methodology. The choice is yours…

To Sum Up

It is important to note that Wolfe Waves, are highly subjective and may need other technical analysis to figure out the market psychology (although Bill Wolfe, probably wouldn’t agree with the use of further TA). The key to profiting is accurately identifying and exploiting these trends in real time, which can be more difficult than it sounds. As a result, it is wise to trade this technique with a practice account – as it is any new technique you are learning – before going live. And, remember to use stop/loss to limit your losses.

Technical analysis is not an exact science and although these indicators and patterns can increase the probability of making the correct trade, many will go against you and large losses can be incurred. Your own trading strategy needs to be formed and hopefully you’ll be on your way to achieving this on completion of this course.

What is forex?

Quite simply, it’s the global market that allows one to trade two currencies against each other.

If you think one currency will be stronger versus the other, and you end up correct, then you can make a profit.

If you’ve ever traveled to another country, you usually had to find a currency exchange booth at the airport, and then exchange the money you have in your wallet into the currency of the country you are visiting.

Foreign Exchange
You go up to the counter and notice a screen displaying different exchange rates for different currencies.

An exchange rate is the relative price of two currencies from two different countries.

You find “Japanese yen” and think to yourself, “WOW! My one dollar is worth 100 yen?! And I have ten dollars! I’m going to be rich!!!”
When you do this, you’ve essentially participated in the forex market!

You’ve exchanged one currency for another.

Or in forex trading terms, assuming you’re an American visiting Japan, you’ve sold dollars and bought yen.

Currency Exchange

Before you fly back home, you stop by the currency exchange booth to exchange the yen that you miraculously have left over (Tokyo is expensive!) and notice the exchange rates have changed.

It’s these changes in the exchange rates that allow you to make money in the foreign exchange market.
