Desktop charting and strategy-development platform known for built-in Elliott Wave analysis and custom study scripting.

MotiveWave is a Java-based desktop charting platform aimed at technical traders, with a particular focus on Elliott Wave analysis tools, along with standard indicators, strategy backtesting and automated trading support through broker integrations. It offers both auto-renewing lease and one-time purchased-license models, plus a free Community Edition that trial users fall back to after a 14-day trial of the full Ultimate Edition ends. It connects to a range of brokers and data feeds for live and simulated trading, and is positioned toward serious retail and semi-professional traders who want Elliott Wave tools not commonly found in mainstream charting apps.
