Simple science here...or is it? There's two ways to count it. EW is a great guide, although it is subjective sometimes. I have one of these examples plotted. I have in the past got frustrated doing EW count because of this exact reason. I like EW don't get me wrong, I appreciate and respect it very much.

The point is for this chart is it going to be the blue count or the red count .. Will price end up being bearish or bullish.. I did find an error with math no big deal for this example.
