Wave Labels

In running text:
  • Brackets [ ] will be put around wave degrees where R. N. Elliott (and EWI) use circles, i.e. Grand Supercycle, Primary, Minute, and Micro-scale waves.
  • Parentheses ( ) will be put around waves of Supercycle, Intermediate, Minuette, and Submicro degree.
  • Waves of Cycle, Minor, Subminuette, and Miniscule degree will receive no special marking.
  • Waves of Cycle degree or higher will appear in boldface.
  • The typical alternation between Arabic and Roman numerals after every three degrees shall be used for all waves of Grand Supercycle degree or lower.
  • If I should have occasion to label waves of Submillennial degree, motive waves will be labeled in all-caps with the word for the number written out, e.g. THREE.  Corrective waves shall have Greek letters written out -  waves A/B/C/D/E/W/X/Y/Z are ALPHA, BETA, GAMMA, DELTA, EPSILON, PHI, CHI, PSI, OMEGA respectively.

    Images will retain this labeling convention, with the addition of a color convention by degree
    • Submillennial:  Burgundy
    • Grand Supercycle:  Black
    • Supercycle: Brown
    • Cycle: Teal
    • Primary: Navy Blue
    • Intermediate: Purple
    • Minor: Black
    • Minute: Red
    • Minuette: Green
    • Subminuette: Olive
    • Micro: Magenta
    • Submicro: Orange
    • Miniscule: Blue
    • Waves of smaller degrees repeat the cycle from Minor (Black-Red-Green-Olive-Magenta-Orange-Blue).
    To the best of my knowledge, no names were given to the wave degrees smaller than Miniscule by either Elliott or Prechter; as a result, I use my own based on the metric prefixes.  The wave degree immediately smaller than Miniscule is of course Subminiscule, than Nano, Subnano, Pico, Subpico, etc.  This would be more consistent if I had switched Miniscule/Subminiscule with Micro/Submicro, but alas...
