TAXTBOOK: " Wave-5 should be at least equal to the price distance from the beginning of wave-1 (point son through the end of wave-3 added to the end of wave-4. The maximum length of the 5th extension Should not exceed 261.8% of the length from “O” to the end of wave-3 added to the end of wave-3. When considering waves-2 and 4, wave-4 should take the greatest amount of price/time and have the most complex structure. Wave-1 should progress at the sharpest angle with wave-3 following closely behind and wave-5 possessing the slowest rate of acceleration. A 5th wave extension cannot be completely retraced unless it is the c-wave of a correction or is the end of a larger 5th wave Extension. "
