BC is basically the same as extending AB, you just get another fib number. a retracement + an extension is good. Or the completion of abcd and another smaller ab = cd or whatever pattern at the completion point of the larger abcd. Or the completion of the c point (i.e. a retracement) along with the completion of a smaller ab = cd (an extension)
If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

Hi Mr Pip and everyone,

I am in a different time zone to most people on this thread, so my day is just about to start and I also have a day job. My trading time is when London opens (at night here downunder). I really appreciate your comments and diagrams. The comments on confluence and Price Zone have been valuable. My area of trading weakness is how to enter the price resistance zone. In some diagrams there might be just one bar within 61.8 and an entry has been made,(Agressive C I believe), whilst other times a number of bars show a clear area...
Look at this major confluence example. This is the type of trade where entering on a limit order would not be a problem on this much confluence I would enter blindly.

You see even major confluence fails and even I lose trades every now and then got stopped out for a 14 pip loss.

Not per the rules I follow the butterfly needs to have at least a 78.6correction of XA. This did not do that.

This is a EJ AB=CD aggressive C (well...kind of) 4 hour which I took a while a go and it appears to be finally materializing.

In the past, I am fairly sure I wouldn't have taken the trade around the highlighted area. I actually didn't catch the trade in that area, I still need to work on my timing / trading psych. But I love how harmonics works, and allowed me to enter with a very interesting R:R. I am taking profit just before 127% extension, but it is probably smarter to look at 161%

Thank you for your wonderful post. You intro video was clearly presented and very illuminating, I have been studying the ebook High Probability Trading Stratigies. This was posted by an astute trader in another post, ( I apologize to that poster for the lack of proper reference ). The books' system touches on fib extensions. I must say your posting was much clearer as to the concept behind fib extensions. Another element touched on in the attached ebook has to do with applying those same fib extension levels to the time scale, overlaid on price extension charts. The concept of finding high probability time periods, using fib extensions to the time scale, would appear to compliment your studies. I am just now begining to experiment with these tools and am grateful to you for opening this door.
I would be curious to know if anyone finds the attached ebook's reference to fib extensions of timing of price changes relevant to the topic.

Here goes, first trade posted on this thread. Short EUR/AUD:

Reason : 618 fib retracement of swing high (1.2737) and swing low (1.2568)
: ABCD completion
: 1.272 extension of AB

SL : 1.2702
Entry : 1.2670
Target: 1.2615 (5 pips above 618 retracement of ABCD)
Risk : 32 pips
Target : 55 pips
R:R : 1.718

(think I'm going against orderflow but we'll see how the trade pans out).

Mr Pip, is it right to assume that every SWING could be a potential start for a new Pattern? and even if it is a part of an already in progress pattern?

Hola Mr. Pip
I almost would say I´m glad you got stopped out...cause your trading and teaching are so awsome they are almost unreal...

Keep up the good work and thank you again...

...and of course hope you recover that loss real fast...
I´m so glad at least some people are getting a bite from the big Boys and Brokers...


By the way, system´s... working for me....!!!!!
