elliott-wave

elliott-wave is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from HKUDS/Vibe-Trading. It costs 55 tokens per session (477 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A market-analysis engine based on Elliott Wave Theory, which describes price movements as repeating five-wave trends and three-wave corrections. It finds turning points with Zigzag analysis, checks wave relationships using Fibonacci ratios, and produces trend or correction signals.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify possible completed uptrends, pullbacks, trend continuation, and potential buy or sell signals from price data. It is intended for analysis and signal generation, not guaranteed forecasts.
Why use it?
It gives a consistent way to label possible market swings instead of relying only on visual chart judgment. The built-in rules and ratio checks help reject wave counts that do not fit the method.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

elliott-wave scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (example_signal_engine.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Elliott Wave Theory

Purpose

Classic wave theory based on the core assumption that markets move in fractal wave structures:

Structure Wave Count Direction Meaning
Impulse wave 5 waves (1-2-3-4-5) Trend-following Main trend direction
Corrective wave 3 waves (A-B-C) Counter-trend Pullback correction

Core Rules

Three Iron Rules for Impulse Waves

  1. Wave 2 cannot retrace beyond the start of wave 1
  2. Wave 3 cannot be the shortest impulse wave
  3. Wave 4 cannot enter the price territory of wave 1

Fibonacci Relationships Between Waves

  • Wave 2 retraces 0.5-0.618 of wave 1
  • Wave 3 = wave 1 × 1.618 (most common)
  • Wave 4 retraces 0.382 of wave 3
  • Wave 5 ≈ the length of wave 1

Signal Logic

  • 5-wave advance completed → sell (trend top)
  • ABC pullback completed → buy (correction finished)
  • Wave 3 in progress → stay with the trend (no reversal signal is generated)

Parameters

Parameter Default Description
swing_window 10 Rolling window for swing-point detection
fib_tolerance 0.15 Tolerance for Fibonacci ratios
min_wave_bars 5 Minimum number of candles per wave

Notes

Wave theory is highly subjective, and automatic counting can yield multiple interpretations. This implementation uses a "simplest effective single interpretation" strategy and would rather miss signals than misclassify them.

Dependencies

pip install pandas numpy requests

Signal Convention

  • 1 = long, -1 = short, 0 = stand aside
Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
