Re: Time to Stick my Neck Out ,Nifty 7300
This symmetry part in WWs is i think a bit oversimplified & misunderstood. Symmetry ought to be seen in the context of
i) what precedes the pattern
ii) how the pattern itself is positioned viz a viz the price flow/trend
If alongside we have symmetry within the pattern wrt time & retracements then all the better, but that's not the only aspect. The entire pattern setup is based on a transition from asymmetry to symmetry & as such necessitates a more holistic view.
Wolfe himself purposely keeps the symmetry aspect a little (actually gives a small & the most insignificant piece) vague as that is his usp.

P.S. At the Wolfe website it says the best results are obtained when W4 tries to revisit the price range of W1-2. Now this would disrupt the symmetry (within pattern) a bit but think what it means from the point of view of reversal-to-symmetry (doesn't it signify an early attempt? Also, logically, the volume pattern in the case of such a retest ought to be the reverse of a dbl top)
