I have opened this thread to reveal my trading "strategy" in the hope that it will be of use to some people on this platform.

Harmonic patterns are reversal patterns, but as most people say they "repaint" and that makes them difficult to trade.

The way I trade them is to look for patterns at clear supply and demand levels where price has already shown its desire to reverse. I look for QM, Diamond, Engulfs, Compression and FTR.

I like how advanced supply and demand complements Harmonics and vice versa. I will be sharing some pictures to illustrate this.

This is a trade I took early this morning (based on my time zone of course). It's a beautiful harmonic pattern below clear supply level. There is a QM level within the supply and the source of the up-move was already engulfed meaning that price wanted to go south.

Let's see if it will reach the target. Already took some profits and SL is set at BE.

your stop loss looks like it’s about the same amount as your profit target so your on a risk reward of 1 to 1. You are also selling eurusd in an upwards trend. I guarantee that your method will make you broke very soon .

You are right that the risk:reward for this trade was not great. In my chart, I drew a QM level which would have given a better risk:reward but I saw a good reaction at the lower supply level which confirmed to me that price may not reach the QM level before dropping.
Hopefully, I get to share more trades with better risk: reward. Also note that win rate is also a factor. If your win rate is high enough you'll make money with a risk:reward of 1;1.

Any harmonic pattern indicator would do. There are lots of free good ones around.

I guarantee you that your method is not getting you a profit and you will be broke if you carry on.
