How to draw it yourself
  1. Load the TradingView chart and choose the timeframe 4 hours (4-hour candles) – the buttons above the chart switch it as well.
  2. In the drawing toolbar on the left, choose the Fib Retracement tool (group with the horizontal lines).
  3. Click on the start of wave 1 (low of Oct 15, 2026 15:30) and drag to the high of Oct 16, 2026 15:30.
  4. The buy zone lies between the lines 0.618 and 0.786 (0 to −1.0%); line 1 is the start of wave 1 – if the price closes below it, the setup is void. The rule is only triggered by a candle close above the last swing high .
  5. Watcher Stop, Target 1 and Target 2 of this zone – and how to draw them – are available from Watcher.

On phones the drawing toolbar is hidden – drawing works better on a desktop.

Scenarios

Timeframe 4 hours · As of Oct 27, 2026 · from the Elliott count in the analysis chart

Weighting Main scenario (3 of 3 guidelines, strong) · no alternative

Weighting by guidelines met – not a probability.

Main scenario

strong · 3 of 3 guidelines

As long as the 4-hour close stays below the end of X, this applies: complex countermove downward (Combination W-X-Y), Y in progress – count points to falling prices.

Invalid if the 4-hour close is above the end of X (+8.7% from the top of the zone)

Alternative

If that breaks, this count no longer applies. Currently no alternative that follows the rules.

The price pulled back into the buy zone (0 to −0.9% from its top) and last closed in the zone. Rule trigger: after the touch a swing high forms, and a daily close is above it. If the price closes below the start of wave 1 (−2.2%), the setup is void. All percentages: distance from the top of the buy zone.

In the TradingView chart: Draw the buy zone in the chart with the Fibonacci tool (instructions next to the wave chart) or as two horizontal lines (tool “Horizontal Line”). If the price closes below the start of wave 1 (−2.2%), the setup is void – without an entry of the rule.

Key figures with traffic lights

Each light follows a simple, disclosed rule. The comparison is with the sector median of all 79 symbols in the Financials sector on our list (current members of the S&P 500 and other lists).

Revenue growth

Light yellow: below sector

+2.8% per year, last 5 years

Sector Financials: median +8.8% (73 symbols)

What does this mean? Revenue: over 5 years it grew by 2.8% per year on average, but more slowly than the median company in the sector (+8.8%).

Light rule: Green: grows at least as fast as the sector median (without a sector comparison: grows) · Yellow: grows more slowly · Red: shrinks.

Net income (total)

Light yellow: below sector

+5.3% per year, last 5 years

Sector Financials: median +13.8% (71 symbols)

per share: +8.2% per year (5 years, split-adjusted)

What does this mean? Total net income: over 5 years it grew by 5.3% per year on average, but more slowly than the median company in the sector (+13.8%).

Light rule: Green: grows at least as fast as the sector median (without a sector comparison: grows) · Yellow: grows more slowly · Red: shrinks.

Net margin

Light yellow: below sector

16.8% last fiscal year

Sector Financials: median 19.4% (75 symbols)

What does this mean? Of every 100 USD in revenue, 16.79 USD remained as profit – less than the median company in the sector (19.4%). Five years ago the margin was 14.9%.

Light rule: Green: at least the sector median (without a sector comparison: profit) · Yellow: profit, but below the median · Red: loss.

Debt / equity

Light red: much higher

1.49 latest balance sheet

Sector Financials: median 0.63 (47 symbols)

What does this mean? For every 1 USD of equity there is 1.49 USD of financial debt – more than twice as much as the median company in the sector (0.63). For banks and insurers, debt is part of the business – so the comparison is only with their own sector.

Light rule: Green: at most the sector median · Yellow: up to twice the median · Red: more than twice · Gray: without a sector comparison.

Payout ratio

Light gray: none found

– Dividend / earnings per share

Sector Financials: median 34% (58 symbols)

What does this mean? The loaded SEC filings of the last two fiscal years contain no dividend per share. Either the company pays none, or it reports it under a different tag.

Light rule: Green: up to 60% of earnings · Yellow: up to 100% · Red: more than earnings or a dividend despite a loss · Gray for real estate (REITs). The sector median is for comparison only.

Profitable years

Light yellow: 1 loss year

9 of 10 fiscal years with a profit

What does this mean? In 9 of the last 10 fiscal years the bottom line showed a profit. One year ended with a loss.

Light rule: Green: profit in every year · Yellow: one loss year · Red: several loss years (at least 3 years needed).
