Fibonacci Pinball is a standardized method identified by Avi Gilburt that has helped him trade waves 3-5 with extraordinary accuracy once waves 1 and 2 are in place.
Strong, trending price move consisting of 5 waves. Waves 1,3 and 5 are impulsive, or motive waves, and move in the direction of the trend. They subdivide into a 5-wave structure, which are designated by numbers. Waves 2 and 4 are corrective -- moving counter to the trend -- and subdivide into 3 waves, which are designated by letters. Some basic rules: Wave 2 never retraces beyond the start of Wave 1; Wave 3 cannot be the shortest of the three impulse waves; Wave 4 does not overlap with the price territory of Wave 1; and Waves 2 and 4 tend to alternate in form. (A sharp move in Wave 2, for example, will suggest a mild move in Wave 4.) Also, sub-waves should exhibit Fibonacci relationships.
These are counter-trend 3 wave structures (labeled A, B, and C) that only retrace a portion of its preceding motive wave. They are more variable than a motive wave, and often do not show the strength that its preceding motive wave had. Corrective waves are often very hard to label while they are playing out, especially in the early stages of them and are often not clear until they are almost over. Wave 2's typically are Zigzags or Flats (VERY rarely triangles), more likely to be a deep, fast correction Wave 4's are the most complex and often shallow flatter corrections (triangles are more likely in 4th waves and B waves).

I worked on trading desks at top investment banks for 10 years, then traded on my own for another 8. I've seen 100s of research from the best analysts in the business. Avi and EWT is the only one I'm willing to pay for right now."tzeyi" - Seeking Alpha

CNBC had a stat this morning that over the last 20 years 86% of money managers/hedge funds have underperformed the market. They couldn't figure out why that’s the case given how 'smart' these people are. . . . I know my performance since joining the site has skyrocketed!"HenryH" - Trading Room

Avi, After 40 years of trading...I am convinced there is no better analysis than yours."jmt1951" - Seeking Alpha
I’m convinced, EW theory is THE best way to approach markets for investing/trading. Whether you’re scalping micro moves, day trading swing trading or long term investing, EW always has you covered. Most people have a lens or a way they view the market but how consistent over time is it? For myself I like fractals and have made life changing trades off them. But as my trading days add up [and] the value of EW becomes clearer, especially when coupled with fib #s, I have to give credit to you Avi for this!"bullhammer" - Trading Room
