 +====== StockCharts Theoretical Indices ======
  
 +===== Definition =====
 +
 +StockCharts publishes a series of "​theoretical"​ indices that show an idealized pattern or trading sequence. For example, $THEW charts an ideal Elliott Wave sequence with three waves up and two down. $THHS charts a classic head-and-shoulders pattern on the chart. These indices can be used to understand how indicators react under these theoretical conditions. ​
