Harmonic Patterns

1) Harmonic trading utilizes specific Fibonacci ratio aligned structures called harmonic patterns to identify reversal points in financial markets. 2) These patterns calculate Fibonacci aspects of price structures to quantify trading behavior and pinpoint probable reversal zones. 3) The document then describes several common harmonic patterns like AB=CD, Gartley, bat, and butterfly and how they are formed and interpreted.

Introduction

 Harmonic Trading is a methodology that utilizes the recognition of specific structures that
possess distinct and consecutive Fibonacci ratio alignments that quantify and validate harmonic patterns.
These patterns calculate the Fibonacci aspects of these price structures to identify highly probable reversal
points in the financial markets.
 Trading behavior is defined by the extent of buying and selling and influenced by the fear
or greed possessed by the market participants. The collective entity of all buyers
and sellers in a particular market follows the same universal principles as other natural
phenomena exhibiting cyclical growth behavior.
 The basic understanding required to grasp this theory should not move beyond the simple acceptance that
natural growth phenomena can be quantified by relative Fibonacci ratio measurements.
 It was discovered by Scott Carney and published books entitled The Harmonic Trader, Harmonic Trader
Vol. 1 and 2 since 1998.
Fibonacci Sequence

 Fibonacci numbers are based upon the Fibonacci sequence discovered by Leonardo de
Fibonacci de Pisa (b. 1170–d. 1240).

 The mathematical problem:


If a newborn pair of rabbits requires one month to mature and at the end of the second month and every
month thereafter reproduces itself, how many pairs will one have at the end of “n” months?
Fibonacci Sequence

The answer is: un


This answer is based upon the equation: un +1 = un + un -1
Although this equation might seem complex, it is actually quite simple. The sequence of the
Fibonacci numbers is as follows:

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89,144, 233, 377… ∞ (infinity)


(0+1=1)…(1+1=2)…(1+2=3)…(2+3=5)…(3+5=8)…(5+8=13)…8+13=21)…13+21=34)…(21+34=55)...(34+55=89)
34/55 = 0.618181 ~ 0.618 55/89 = 0.617978 ~ 0.618
55/34 = 1.676471 ~ 1.618 89/55 = 1.618182 ~ 1.618

In the realm of Mathematics, the 1.618 is known as the golden ratio or Phi. The inverse (1/1.618) of Phi is 0.618, sometimes referred to
as “little Phi.” The 1.618 ratio is also commonly referred as the golden number or the golden mean. The number is denoted by the
Greek letter Phi (ϕ). The inverse of the 1.618 (phi) sometimes is referred to as the golden ratio or golden proportion (0.618), and it is
recognized by a small “p.”

Potential Reversal Zone (PRZ)

 By calculating the various Fibonacci aspects of a specific price structure, harmonic patterns can
indicate a specific area to examine for potential turning points in price action.
 A PRZ represents the critical areas where the flow of buying and selling is potentially changing.
 These harmonic zones attempt to identify the price levels where imbalanced
overbought and oversold situations are reversing—at a minimum—back to their respective
equilibrium level.

Trading Checklist

 1. Is there a pattern?
2. What is it?
3. Is there an AB=CD?
4. Where does it complete?
5. Are there three or more numbers converging in the PRZ?
6. What are they?
7. What are the time cycles (symmetry) suggesting?
8. Are there any warning signs?
9. At what point is the PRZ no longer valid? (Stop Loss)
10. How much must I risk? Am I willing to risk it?
Harmonic Trade Management

 PRZ (Potential Reversal Zone) - is a specific area where harmonic patterns complete and
Fibonacci projections converge.

 The Initial Profit Objective (IPO) - represents the first area to consider taking profits for the
position. Most frequently, it is either a 38.2% or 61.8% retracement from the extreme
points of the pattern.
 Profit Protection Zone (PPZ) - is a predetermined level beyond the execution point after a small profit has been
achieved.
 The Stop Loss Zone (SLZ) - is the area beyond the Potential Reversal Zone that defines an
invalid setup.
 The 0.382 Trailing Stop - is measured from the reversal point to the reversal extreme—high (bullish
setup) or low (bearish setup).
