Description
The Series Count study finds time targets for implementation of Elliott Wave Theory. A bar is called time target if its ordinal number (from the specified date and time) is an element of the Fibonacci or Lucas series. Time targets are marked with their ordinal numbers.
Fibonacci series is a sequence where each subsequent number is the sum of the previous two, with the first two elements being equal to 0 and 1 correspondingly. Lucas series is defined similarly, but using numbers 2 and 1 as the first two elements.
