| # Construction of Waves<br><br>Two objects are available in the platform - Impulse and Corrective waves. To apply waves on a chart, five points should be defined for an impulse wave and three - for a corrective wave. Settings are identical for both objects, but they should be specified separately:<br><br>- Point – coordinates of the anchor point (date/value of the price scale);<br>- Degree – select the cycle level influencing also the displaying of point markings;<br>- Lines – if this field is selected, all points of an impulse or corrective wave will be sequentially joined.<br><br>Common parameters of object are described in a [separate section](https://www.metatrader5.com/en/mobile-trading/iphone/help/chart/objects#properties). | ![Impulse Wave Parameters](https://www.metatrader5.com/i/help/iphone/en/motive_wave_parameters.png) |
