I have a question which shall really help a lot of Harmonic Traders! Every person has his her own mental status to judge the question I am putting forward. Most imp for Tmoneybag to comment on it.

I am attaching two charts of same pair AUDUSD on which two different patters are formed on 1 Hr chart Bullish Cypher is formed, where on 1 month chart Bearish Deep Crab is formed at the same instance. MY questions is how does a short term and a long term investor trade the pairs ? Every one is invited to comment..

treat them separately,,, it will take a pattern much longer on the monthly TF to develop ( obviously) so by that time the H1 pattern PROBABLY would be done and dusted

for an intraday trader, a pattern that develops in 1 hr time frame can be traded but just make sure that you know how to manage it accordingly for what you are doing is counter trend trading (because of the pattern formation noted in the monthly chart). you might want to consider taking partial profits at 38% ret of the c to d leg of the pattern because that is where the initial reaction comes in provided that you have covered your risk and you have to move your stop to breakeven. the next zone to take your profit is at 61.8 ret. if you are a long term investor once that the deep bearish crab pattern completed that's the time they are in for an entry. same management applies.

Iīd rather look at the high of the 4 H Chart...then draw those fibos...thereīs quite a bit of structure there...itīs been shooting up straight for a while thogh...lately AUDUSD does that....then shoots back down....trying to find turning Points seems to be a coin flip...
...my 2 Cents...

Hi Mr. Cuchuflito,

thanks you made a great observation, as it added to my confidence. attached i found some additional points for example 38% is sign of weakness for the bulls and there is a channel. so i am still bearish for the moment.

thanking you for your kind input,

best wishes,
Chad

Mr pip,

Yes Starry. It's common for Mr pip to take trades at structure if there's strong S/R and ratio confluence and with order flow. Also we usually wait for at least one retest and rejection. I had 2 trades like that today. Here's my chart so far today. 3 trades -1 loser, 2 winners. Waiting for a D completion (closer to the RN) and a possible entry long for my 4th trade.

Understand.
now thereīs a potential agressive C using the dayly low as Pivot...
then if you go to 15 min thereīs some harmonics too...

Lotīs of bouncing and tag of war in the EURUSD at the last dayly bottom area...and lotīs of stop hunting too...
I have an order above the 5 min fractal...not filled yet...there could be a bounce up, at least a bit...maybe retest the bottom...who knows..
But the agressive C is there!
Take it or leave it...
Good luck Folks..

Markets are brutal right now, EURUSD is stuck in the daily range from Friday, deep retraces have burned my 78.6% stop and reverse. To be expected, but not fun to experience. It will likely break out of this mess tomorrow or Friday with significant US news. But in the end, we do not worry about that, we just watch the market and react, not predict.

One strategy is to trade smaller size when things do not 'look' or 'feel' right. Another is to find a different pair that is behaving better. Sticking with EURUSD, but treading carefully.

Good luck all.

Yup, I was in this, it retraced to 78.6%, so I was stopped out, and the Stop and Reverse is basically flat. The secondary lower high may have foreshadowed the failure.

On the other hand, it is sloppy out there!

Your C point didn't reach the 61,8 retracement of AB. So this invalidate the BAT pattern. Just my 2 cents

hey man please don't take this egotistically or anything i just wanted to comment on the look of this trade that is all, I reckon i would of been very iffy when price action closed higher than the c point and the following price action after just showed me that price was no going to retrace, therefore I would of just taken the loss
