it can get up to 3.618, with xd 1.618, if they come together, and other supporting confluence, or candle, then worthwhile to consider

Chart? you mean currency, or time frame? On the liquid mains they work down to 5 mins, but it's always nice to have confirmation one frame higher, and also only for London time zone...trying 5 min charts in asia will just destroy your account, and soul. From my p+l stats for trading, usdjpy and kiwi give the worst results, while eu,ey,gy,ay are simply fantastic. Hence, while there is a dirty great green bull butterfly on usyn 4h+daily, I have no position in it, even though it's done the right things for the 1.27 extension. Maybe at 1.618 I'll have a look at it. The price action has been less than flattering for a long position. Much happier to trade the yen crosses, especially if no corresponding signal in the major.

For the preservation of a trader's sanity, I generally use 15m-30m-1h-4h on majors, and 1-4 hours on the lesser crosses due to the spread. As I can watch opportunities daily I don't mind the smaller frames, but those with a longer term focus should find ample opportunities on 4H up.

Kor isn't perfect but I think it allows more successful opportunities to come into play. The ozchf attached 5e pattern also becomes a gartley when done by hand. Without the 5e pattern showing up, it would have been easy to miss, and plotting by hand gives a double support for a short position. With TP1 done, it's now a free trade...http://cdn.forexfactory.com/images/icons/icon14.gif

(btw, you've probably seen it happening but the 'e' does repaint, so need a supporting candle, s/r, or a harmonic to help confirm)

my entry trade in gbpjpy crab bullish pattern and abcd bullish in eurusd..
the higher entry in gbpjpy as you can see is a bad trade coz last night a bullish pattern showed but it failed .... and i forgot to closed it before i fell asleep last night anyway im just waiting my trade to be in positive before ill close it...

@china
correct me if im wrong the exit computation is .618 * CD= then the value you will get will be your take profit ??
i read it in the "Trading gartley 222" pdf that you posted

yup, that's very well known...he used 1/3 n 2/3, which doesn't take too much to extrapolate into fib's...as Larry and Scott have done and refined, with Scott breaking the patterns further down into precise formations which have their own seperate characteristic's (and shouldn't be called failed gartley's)

my t/p's are usually 1.5/2.0*risk and then move to be+1, .618 AD, and then around .786/.886 AD, depending on other support points in the region...

these are a bit conservative compared to some others that look for 1.27/1.618...

the article used .618cd for it's analysis, but you can pretty much use whatever suits your trading style.

I just started reading Scott Carney's book harmonic trading vol 2. goes on to explain the "failed gartley's" interesting so far, although first 50 pages goes into some history of those failed patterns.

Nice trade... what are you doing to confirm those patterns on the 15m timeframe? I haven't been too successful with 15m patterns. I know some people will take the trade if its withing the predominant trend... but on the gj chart (which is going sideways on daily) did you take that trade because of that support price near 131?

thanks reynante, but i think my trade on gbpjpy is just a lucky trade bec the trend that day is going down, as you can see i have trade on top that i left overnight. then the next day a big crab bullish pattern appeared which a good sign of retracement

about confirmation of patterns, i dont have any idea on confirming patterns, which i like to learn right now because some patterns i trade in m5 and m15 failed (i hope you guys teach me on this)

while kor and zup are useful tools to help find patterns, nothing beats doing some manual prep for your self...

kiwi
the first chart shows my initial workings of a kiwi bat formation using b finishing at .38 and then adding in Scott Carney's price projections for XA.886, and BC2.618 confluence around .7270 area.

the second chart shows the indicator logging b at .618, and thus suggesting an initial sell point at .786 retrace according to gartley fib pattern rules

By being patient, and without receiving a confirmation sell candle at .786, you can then focus on the .886/2.618 as the target zone at .7270ish.

I got lucky, and now short at .7270 (high .7275). Haven't reached tp1 so it could still go pear shaped.

While the indictor also get's you in a short position, by working through the PRZ yourself, you can aim for a better entry point, which reduces your s/l amount, allowing for a larger position than if entered on break of candle, or entered on conventional gartley rules at .786, with s/l above x.

This also shows the highly subjective nature of where do you mark B and the ramifications it has for finding D

Super post Wombat - appreciate your analysis greatly - any more detailed explanations would help immensely.

i guess it depends how you define good and safe... Good = lots of pips, or quick n easy pips and squaring up before the weekend?

depending on the number of lots your trading, tp1 for a safe tp would be 1*1 RR, or near todays low, but definitely before .38 of AD. Failed patterns tend to be unable to break through .38 which can give an early warning signal. .38 @ .7190 has a number of hourly highs there as well which means it may take some time to break support (if it does decide to go that way). If it does get to .7190 all your other positions should be moved to at least BE... imho
