# Elliott Wave Engine

> Elliott Wave counting and forecasting — impulse waves, corrective patterns, wave degree. Use for "Elliott Wave", "wave count", "impulse wave", "corrective wave", "wave 3", "wave 5", "ABC correction", "wave analysis", "Fibonacci wave", "wave degree", or any Elliott Wave analysis. Works with fibonacci-strategy-engine for price targets and chart-pattern-scanner.
