Hey guys, I am not proud of it, still not made a full weekend review, but I am publishing it to see if anybody has any suggestions. I am not sure worth working with it, while I do see the same stuff during the hours of the week in action. So what do you think, could it be really used? Or improved?
I have left the last week review result on in columns J-O for reference. So what do you think?

I think its brilliant.

So just to make clear:

Trading an "emerging" ab = cd is basically buying (or selling) at the C point , right?
In other words, the order flow is up if you are doing an emerging ab = cd buy.

"In progress" bull/bear means the pattern has already completed, and there exists a swing in progress after the bullish/bear pattern. For example, a bearish ab = cd has finished, and the swing is currently moving downward.

A "completing" bull/bear means that the pattern has finished forming , and price is at or very near to the Potential Reversal Zone (PRZ).

------------------
A different type of classification is the swing classification. The market is either moving up or down. Either way,

Swings can either be:

(1) "in the middle "/in progress of a swing
(2) "finishing"/completing the current swing

Swings patterns can be one of the two:

(1) trend ("long term order flow" is up or down and is forming higher highs and lower lows), or
(2) waves/wavy/range (long term order flow is equal to "short term order flow", the pattern is a range or a large 'wavy' range, which is a range on a higher time frame)

Order flow can either be
(1) short-term (short-term order flow weakness, a transition from up->down or down->up, always exists at the end of a swing)
(2) long-term (long-term order flow weakness occurs at the end of a large or small trend on the 100 tick chart, and at the transition from a wave to a trend (basically, price is in the middle of a swing on a larger timeframe))

And finally, all of this can be used in multi-timeframe analysis, using the 100 tick chart and the 15 minute chart. In addition, we can talk about swings which are 'smaller' or 'larger' on the timeframe we're trading. For example, a 'small' wavy pattern on the 100 tick chart would refer to a wavy top pattern at the top of a swing, or a wavy pattern which is just a pause in the swing, in other words a range when the long-term order flow is still up.

A 'large' wavy pattern might be a top on a larger timeframe, or a pause in the trend on a larger timeframe, or it even might refer to a wavy/range pattern which exists on both the 100tick and 15 minute chart.

Starry, thank you for your thoughts, I have not thought these things over yet, that deeply. Probably I should.
When I have a pattern "in progress", meaning started moving already and left PRZ... I would rather take HPs in the same direction on an LTF, or any opposing ones with more caution only.
When it is "completing" should be close to PRZ, or in the PRZ so I am expecting to enter in the direction of that pattern at the entry point - at HP completion + structure level as minimum.
When it is in "emerging" phase I could look for lower TF HPs in the opposite direction of the HTF emerging one. I.e.: and emerging bear bat on H4 would be a good prospect to buy around the B level on the CD leg, based on a LTF bull HP (Carney BAMM entry).

Man, thats quite alot of work. Just curious if your using a HP indicator (ZUP, etc.) or if you are doing the fib work on your own?

I do something similar, although I use similar colors for each pattern.
For example:
an emerging AB=CD I might color code with light blue
the in progress AB=CD I might use a medium blue
and the completed AB=CD I might use a dark blue.

Bats always red shades... 5-0's always yellow shades... Butterflys always green shades, etc., etc., etc.

Basically, I just found that shading the color coding exactly the same over and over and over for each pattern allowed my eyes to more easily recognize progress of the shorter term patterns vs the longer term patterns... So, with just a glance, I literally watch the progress unfold through the shading.

Anyways, thats my 2 pips worth. Give it a shot if you want to.

Again, nice tracking system in the works.

Thank you for your tips and comments. Can you please post a sample of your tracking?
As for collecting the HPs I use different indicators, the manual work starts only after selecting the candidates drawing attention.
Lately I found an MT5 radar, showing up classical patterns all TF for each pair by type, I like that much.
Also checking through pairs and TFs with ZUP and korharmonics.
