● Wave A is usually a zigzag .

●● 𝙀𝙭𝙥𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙙 𝙁𝙡𝙖𝙩 ( Exp . FL )

❗❗ 𝙍𝙪𝙡𝙚𝙨

𝙂𝙪𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨

● Wave B usually retraces 123.6 or 138.2% of wave A, less often — 161.8%.
● Wave C is often equal to 161.8% of wave A, less often — 261.8%.
● The most common type of flat.

●● 𝙍𝙪𝙣𝙣𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙛𝙡𝙖𝙩 (Runn. FL )

❗❗ 𝙍𝙪𝙡𝙚𝙨

● Wave B always ends after the start of wave A.
● Wave C never goes beyond the end of wave A.

𝙂𝙪𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨

● Within such a flat wave B should end well above the origin of wave A and that means wave C might reflect a 61.8% or even a 100% relationship to wave A.
A running flat indicates that the forces in the direction of the larger trend at next higher degree are powerful.
● Wave B is usually no more than twice the length of wave A.
● Keep in mind that a running flat is rare.

●● 𝙍𝙚𝙜𝙪𝙡𝙖𝙧 𝙛𝙡𝙖𝙩 (Reg. FL )

❗❗ 𝙍𝙪𝙡𝙚𝙨

● Wave B never goes beyond beyond the start of wave A.
● Wave B always retraces at least 90 percent of wave A.
● Wave C always ends past the end of wave A.

(General Rules) "Wave B is always a zigzag."
- I think wave B of a flat could be either a zigzag, a flat, a combination, or a triangle (a triangle is not in the EWP book but it can happen)..

@PriceActionHelp, sorry, it seems you are wrong, your suggestion for wave B is correct for Zigzags only.
PriceActionHelp
@Stavsky, if you follow the Elliott Wave prototype, it is wrong. But a modern and more accurate version surely allows it.
