Brief About Harmonic Patterns

Harmonic patterns, rooted in the use of Fibonacci ratios and numbers, are a sophisticated form of technical analysis used to predict future price movements in the stock market. These patterns are based on specific Fibonacci retracement and extensions intertwined within the structure of price action. Scott Carney, a key figure in the development of harmonic trading, introduced several patterns such as the AB=CD pattern, abcd pattern, Crab pattern, and the Butterfly pattern, all of which serve as crucial tools for traders. The Bullish Gartley pattern, another significant discovery, exemplifies how bullish patterns can signal potential market upturns, while its counterpart, bearish patterns, indicate possible downturns. The identification of the BC leg within these patterns is critical as it helps traders to pinpoint the pattern's completion and thereby execute trades with more precision. Harmonic trading emphasises the strategic placement of stop loss orders to manage risk effectively, particularly when a trade harmonic pattern completes. By harnessing the power of Fibonacci numbers and ratios, harmonic patterns offer a unique lens through which traders can view the market, enhancing their technical analysis and enabling them to make more informed decisions based on the anticipated direction of price action.

Stop % - is the distance of stop value from the D pivot or the pattern PRZ end. Determines the stop and invalidation point of patterns. Similar to Entry %, it is essential to set optimal stop % in order to avoid stopping on fakeouts and to safeguard from failing patterns.

Base - the base on which entry, stop and targets are calculated. The available values are impulse, correction or minimum/maximum of both.

Target Levels - The indicator allows users to set 4 target levels and track them as part of closed and open trade statistics. Users can either select the prepopulated values from the dropdown or they can set customised values.
