Elliott wave software tutorial: make your first session repeatable

Finish a first calculation with a usable input record, a reviewed candidate and a clear next question.

A first session is more useful when you can repeat it tomorrow. Keep the scope small: one instrument, one timeframe and one preserved input. Do not combine setup experiments, data cleanup and structural interpretation into one undocumented step.

Prepare before calculating

Choose the product route you can run. For Pro, prepare the chart-data CSV according to the guide. For Light, establish the documented browser and Windows-module workflow. Record the access and setup step you have actually completed.

Write down the instrument, timeframe, data source and first and last timestamps. Keep the original input unchanged. If a preparation step fails, resolve it before treating an empty or unexpected result as a wave conclusion.

Define the question and range

Write one sentence describing the part of the chart you want to investigate. Record the origin and range actually selected. The file can contain a broader history than the segment being analysed.

Run the documented calculation sequence. Record the time and input conditions with the result; a later run on newly downloaded data is not automatically a repeat of this one.

Review one candidate carefully

Identify the proposed larger wave pattern and its main turning points. Check the relevant price rules, then examine the required internal evidence. Note one unresolved question instead of trying to make every label certain in the first session.

If alternatives are available for review, compare them on the same input. Keep the explanation of why you retained a candidate, and write the observation that would invalidate that hypothesis.

Save a useful session record

Your record should connect the input, range, result, completed checks and open question. A screenshot is useful as part of that record, but it does not replace the underlying data conditions.

Finish with a next research action such as inspecting the subwave structure or obtaining missing history. Do not turn the first completed calculation into an automatic trade or a wave hypothesis that the method has been performance-tested.

What makes tomorrow's run a repeat of today's exercise?

Use the same preserved input, range and relevant settings, and compare the recorded conditions. If those change, label it as a new experiment.
