Mr pip,
What stoploss amount above the 161.8 line do you use when you trade the tick chart? Since the 10 pip above the 161.8 for the ABCD pattern is for the 1 hour timeframe.

2 pips

Would this be a valid bearish butterfly pattern on the EU weekly chart? It appears to meet the criteria so far.

GM Mr Pip,
I know we haven't covered gartley rules yet but is this a gartley?
The B and C retraces seam to qualify, but where should D be placed?

Barry, hmm your A/U H4 made me take a look at H4 for this rather than my normal look on H1.

Looks like you have a good catch if it can get there.

I be looking more for that 127% of AB-leg, looking for reaction around 1.0575, that is important and it has confluence of Supply Zone and previous top making it a potential Double Top as well.

Yes, as long as you have the following three things:

1- A trading strategy with good R:R - it is really difficult to be right consistently, therefore a good R:R is a must.
2- Discipline - Rule based trading, trade what you see, not what you think it'll be.
3- Money Management - Even if you do right the first two, poor money management will lead you a poor performance.

Regards,
Blackeagle

Blackeagle, agree in general with your three points.

For point 2- trade what you see, not what you think it'll be.
This is much harder, you think you see it, but sometimes it is not what you see, it is the opposite instead.
Everyone see the same chart/price but view it differently, that makes a market of buyers and sellers.
This applies to Ratios & Harmonics as well.

Looking at a possible bearish bat on 5M EU ...well that's what I think so far.

5M EU Bat pattern over shot the D point, but if you traded from the C point it was a nice profit.

Update: would this be valid even though the prz is so close to the 100% fib?

It seems like I am still missing the bigger picture and I should zoom out a little but to not just find the small corrections.time will teach me

Yes you were on the right track but it is now invalid close below 78.6 may be ABCD

I know that the pattern got invalid, but I don't quite get about which 78.6 are you talking about?

What pair tf killian
Sorry next time I will directly say at which tf and pair I am looking at. From now on if I don't say anything it will always be EURUSD 5 min. I will try to focus on this one for now.

It looks like an ABCD or Bullish Bearish Gartley for now.

Edit: My mistake. I was talking about a Bearish Gartley not a bullish

One of Harmonic Evolution :

Gartley-BAT - Butterfly - Crab ( Deep Crab )

that's the reason i don't like Gartley / BAT to make a position in their PEZ. overshot !

gartley and bat is just like a baby for butterfly/crab

if we're looking for Gartley or BAT, better to trade from C to D using BAMM schema ( documented by Scott Carney, in his book "Harmonic Trading of the Financial Markets: Volume Two" )


BUT if we're in trend channel........ yesssssssssssssss Gartley and BAT is best harmonic

imho

Good on ya...Well...Not sure if Mr Pip will approve. I believe we're supposed to wait until the pattern completes at "D" before attempting to trade. Couldn't resist taking a long position.
