My Ideal Elliott Wave Entry Model

The IMSETT 3/C Entry Model.

Every trader wants to catch the big moves the ones that pay quickly and decisively. In Elliott Wave, those moves often come during Wave 3. It's the strongest part of the trend, and when you're positioned early, the risk-to-reward is unmatched.

But not every opportunity hands you a clean Wave 3 on a silver platter. Sometimes you’re looking at a Wave C instead. That’s where the 3/C Entry Model comes in. It’s designed to get you aligned with high-conviction moves—whether the market is in a trend or a zig zag.

Here’s the edge: both Wave 3 and Wave C often start the same way—a strong, motive push off an AOI (area of interest), followed by a retracement. That shared structure gives us an anchor. Whether we’re labeling it a 3 or a C doesn’t change the fact that the initial impulse gives us clarity, direction, and a place to manage risk.

That’s what the IMSETT Model is built around:

Identify
Motive
Scout
Entry Plan
Track
Trade

Each step is focused, actionable, and repeatable. You're not trying to outguess the market—you’re reacting to structure, preparing for common behavior, and executing with intent.

I do have a video with a walk through.

This just the way I look for clarity in setups. As with everything in trading, nothing will work every time so do your own research this is not financial advice.
Cheers!
Trade Safe, Trade Clarity.
