easy · Elliott Wave Theory motive

What geometric characteristic distinguishes a diagonal triangle from a standard impulse wave?

1. Diagonals allow Wave 2 to retrace more than the entire length of the preceding Wave 1.
2. Impulses instead require a strict corrective-style 3-3-3-3-3 internal sub-wave structure throughout.
3. Impulses must always have Wave 3 as the longest of the five waves, while diagonals never require this at all.
4. Diagonals form a converging wedge shape while impulses generally maintain non-converging trendlines.
