In this webinar recording, we assessed a corrective pattern in Elliott Wave Theory that is a difficult one to trade, the flat.

There are three types of flat patterns:

  1. Regular
  2. Irregular or expanded
  3. Running

We looked at each of the three idealized patterns above. Then, we used EUR/USD as a case study it is illustrated some of the guidelines used in flats.

Lastly, we discussed how to trade flats. Generally, they are a tough pattern to anticipate as they chew up more time than price. Range traders may find them especially interesting. I typically wait and try to anticipate the termination of the flat to trade as the ensuing trend could be strong.
