    question about symmetry...

    would the low of 119.41 hold for SE since the previous counter rally broke symmetry? or was the higher low of 127.08 that was formed on monday it?  trying to understand the nuances of using symmetry for my trading.  thanks!

    regarding symmetry - SE technically

    regarding symmetry - SE technically broke symmetry on that first rally and then formed a higher low - so that symmetry played out with a higher low.  also if a stock has had a large relative price percentage move in that trend, I'll use a log chart at times.  the sym break is more obvious via the log, but even on a linear chart it did slightly break sym on that first move off the lows, and a higher low wave b was made. the symmetry break occurred during a wave 4 only not end to the total downtrend

    now the move up was simple a 3 wave zig zag - maybe a wave 4. 

    some other things: sometimes your lower high doesn't result in another high, just a  bounce area

    secondly, your 4th waves can break symmetry and not end that overall main trend because they are 4th waves. That 4th wave then becomes the real important measure for the downtrend.  Otherwise what happens most of the time is that you'll get a break in symmetry on the first move wave A, then form a slight higher low and one small push up
