Quoting Korndawg
Mr Pip, I do have a Q and no hurry to answer, but I was wondering just where you start your first X to A...there was a post #277 by Ezzy that involves the USDCAD where he starts his X way at the top and then you posted a chart in post #349 where you started your XA at the bottom.....Im thinking, which is dangerous, that maybe you just go back to see the most significant high or low and start from there....I imagine it may also has to do with what time frame you are viewing .......I just want to get this right and want to get on this boat before...
Hey Korn, I also feel that I need to get this right, I thought that the main swing would be a HH or LL. I might re-read some of Mr Pip's earlier posts, but like with everything, practice makes perfect so for the time being, I'll be posting charts etc as a way of practicing, and requesting feedback, in order to learn things properly.
What you do is a reflection of you....what I do is a reflection of me.

Waiting for Short? or waiting for further up.
In trading, you have to be defensive and aggressive at the same time

Mr Pip
Please excuse me as my chart may be erroneous.I am still learning.I took consideration your comment about drawing fibs from key swing.
My chart on AU is on daily.
All the numbers fit into Gartley pattern XAB=CD BC is .618 exact retrace and my D is 1.618
As you can tell I am very excited about learning harmonics and looking forward to your teachings.

As far I as understand PRZ is always at the D point not C.

  • Jan 1, 2013 11:20pm Jan 1, 2013 11:20pm
totally agree but we could trade from C to D or at least B to D and then D to B.

trade from C or B to D, shortly called as BAMM ( BAT Action Magnet Move , documented by Scott Carney, in his book "Harmonic Trading of the Financial Markets: Volume Two".).

just imho

Sure, it's just a higher risk trade.

why ? if we're in C ( say in 1 H )... there should be "d " in lower TF ( say 15 m ) as sub pattern of BC leg . so when we trade from C to D. we just trade from "d - lower TF" to " D - higher TF "

ah just my imho dude... everyone has their own strategy of crozzz

I agree on trading on different levels.For me any valid set up is trade-able.

If you are waiting for price action as you say to confirm either up or down then what purpose was your pattern drawn for.
I like to understand your thought process.Why draw the complicated pattern and then wait and do nothing.

Please if its not intrusive on my part I like to understand your view of the market.
You drew the Bat pattern and drew the fib levels and based on your drawing and fibs looks like Price may go down but you are in planning stage.What interests me -what purpose harmonic pattern you drew has any input in your planning.
What I am trying to say is if you had naked chart and you were still planning then what does pattern you drew make any difference in your outlook.
Thank you
