Quoting Mr. Pip
I failed to mention that the ROE I attached are set for the 1H timeframe you have to look at your chosen timeframe and look at what the tendencies are refer to my previous post which talks about this. The chart you asked about was a 1M chart surely 10 pips below the 161 is extreme. You may want to look at 2 pips below the 161 to start and see if this works well. Less than 1:1 do not take the trade.
ah, i suspected. thx!

Ready trade C to D in BAMM Schema
( "C "in h4 = "d" in m15/m30 )

B point of current pattern ...sometimes will provide R or S for next movement

always fasten the seatbelt

not quite sure if I'm picking up what your putting down on that one But i think you mean as in why did i decide to not take into account the next high low swing which i think was and AB = CD pattern I disregarded this because i was focusing on the next movements i felt that identifying the pattern that had already happened was not needed, Actually now looking at it i didn't really need to go back that far in high and low swing; not sure i tried to identify what i think your talking about with two yellow circles below thank you for your tolerance...
I asked this because disregarding the swings caused you to force a pattern where the is none. The disregarded swing are part of a Gartley pattern which completed. Prominant swings like those should always be investigated.

Good morning Mr.PIP
I think you should be pleased that many of us are attempting to draw the patterns even though that these attempts could be wrong.I think just trying is showing interest and that is progress.

I am looking forward to your VIDEO
Sometime in the future perhaps you could break down your thought process step by step like how do you go around take a trade.You mentioned few times order flow.How you determine order flow? Thank you
In trading, you have to be defensive and aggressive at the same time

*EDIT*

Please ignore the BE comment on the image. I forgot its the A->D swing that you use for the 38.2% BE. I am currently in this trade as price has hit this level and am now in BE.
Great job target 2 was also hit for around 30 pips tell us how you did.

Here is another attempt at recognizing patterns, particularly legs (XAB etc).

Bullish Bat?

Comments are welcome.
Yes good job there is a smaller pattern which might push price higher but should not invalidate the Bat.

I got it now , to sum it up the completion of the harmonic swing occurs when the dominant line retraces 38.2% of the main line. Just to clarify, you have 2 targets the first one @ 38.2% swing of AD, when PA reaches this level you move SL to breakeven and let PA ride to 618% AD ?

someone mentioned earlier in this thread a book written by Larry Pesavento : Trade What you See : How to Profit from Pattern Recognition. Just a heads up, he developed the butterfly pattern along with Bryce Gilmore. I have read his book as well as Scott Carneys book...
You got it. Yeah I have to check out that book.

Mr. Pip I got two questions:

1. Do you use correlation?

Example:
We found a bearish pattern on EURUSD and we found a bullish pattern on USDCHF. Now that we know that this pairs have a negative correlation. Does this makes the patterns more accurate.

2. Is there a limit of how much spread you are willing to pay for a pair or as long as the RR ratio is good you dont care about the spread.


Thank you!
No I don't care about correlation. This is a topic I never really understood. If you are looking to trade one pair and you have a setup that you follow then why look to a correlating pair? What's the point? If you tell me to trade both pairs then I would say that is even worse because if you are wrong on one you will be wrong on both and you have double exposure. If you tell me for confirmation then I would say trust you signal if you have done the proper testing and take that signal every time you confirm it on a chart.


Spead is only a factor on the lower timeframes stick to the majors on the lower timeframes.

Hey Davit always a pleasure to see charts posted and yes I see progress and helps me identify what I may need to work on. This is why I respond to every question. Getting the pattern wrong is not the issue this will correct itself as time progresses and we see more examples.

What is an issue is trading the patterns without the rules or notknowing the patterns yet. That is really my only concern. I do not want traders over exposed on material we have not covered and are not comfortable with yet.

Yes I will be providing a step by step video very soon as a matter of fact. This will help correct some of the mistakes I've been seeing. Sometime this week.

Watch order flow and can you tell me what pattern you are over looking which goes against your premise? Your premise is not invalide and it is a possibility but so is something else in tune with orderflow.

Hey Davit you are correct I was looking at the wrong chart on my end. That is a good PRZ for a Gartley

I'm sorry if I posted another chart, I have now seen the answer, but there should be a margin of error to identify points, too accurate we will never find the setup.
