Harmonic Pattern Indicator Explained

Trading Indicator is an effort of developer to create trading tools comply with particular theory or trading strategy or trading ideas. There is always gap between theory (i.e. ideas or strategy) and practice.

Not all the harmonic pattern indicators are the same. In the past the main variations of Harmonic pattern indicators can be categorized as following four types.

Type 1: Non lagging (fast signal) but repainting – option to enter from turning point. Indicator does not show the failed pattern in chart and last pattern can repaint.

Type 2: Lagging (slow signal) but non repainting – no option to enter at turning point (i.e. early signal). Indicator does not show the failed pattern but last pattern does not repaint.

Type 3: Detecting pattern at point C but repainting – option to enter at turning point. Indicator detect pattern too early and you have to wait quite bit of time until price move near the point D. In fact, price may not move near point D. You might just waste your time waiting for the pattern. Indicator does not show the failed pattern and last pattern can repaint.

Type 4: Non lagging (fast signal) and non repainting – option to enter from turning point. At the same time, the pattern is not repainting. This is hybrid of all above three system and can be considered as the most powerful harmonic pattern indicator.

Excessive Momentum Indicator and Trading Operation

Excessive Momentum Indicator automatically detects the broken balance between supply and demand in the financial market. Detection of this broken balance provides the great market timing for the entry and exit for our trading. In this short article, we explain some of the controllable inputs in the Excessive Momentum Indicator.

There are the four main inputs, controlling the calculation process of Excessive Momentum Indicator. They are:

* Bars To Scan: amount of candle bars to calculate the indicator. Choose bigger numbers if you want to see the calculation over longer historical period.

* Momentum Strength Factor: Momentum Strength is the strength of Excessive Momentum to detect. It can stay between 0.1 and 0.5. In theory, it can go up to 1.0. However, you will not get many signals to trade. The default setting is 0.1. You can try various Momentum Strength Factor to optimize your trading performance if you wish.

* Equilibrium Fractal Wave Scale: This input controls the size of Fractal Wave when we detect the excessive momentum. If you put bigger number, then you get less signals to trade. The default setting is 0.5.

* Detrending Period: This input controls the statistical calculation in the algorithm. It should stay between 20 and 50.

Above four inputs are important because they can affect the number and quality of trading signals. You can use the default setting most of time. However, it is also possible that you can try different inputs and check how they perform in the historical data. Rest of inputs are probably self-explanatory from their name.

Now, let us cover the trading signals. In the Excessive Momentum indicator, you get two signal alerts. Firstly, you will get alert when the Excessive Momentum is starting in the market. In this case, it will notify you the starting price. At this stage, the excessive momentum is not completely expanded yet.

Secondly, you will get alert when the Excessive Momentum is completed in the market. At this stage, you will be notified both starting price and ending price of Excessive Momentum.

Both starting price and ending price of Excessive Momentum form the Excessive Momentum Zone. At which signal you want to trade is up to your choice. You can use the zone as the breakout trading when the zone is narrow. When the zone is sufficiently large, it might be possible to aim some reversal trading opportunity too.

At the same time, this Excessive Momentum Zone can be considered as either Accumulation or Distribution area in the Volume Spread Analysis. You can further find the symptoms of accumulation and distribution area using our Volume Spread Pattern Indicator (Paid and Advanced version) or Volume Spread Pattern Detector (Free and Light version).

Harmonic Pattern Detection Indicator MT4

Trading Indicator is the realization of particular theory or trading strategy or trading ideas for real world trading. There is always gap between theory (i.e. ideas or strategy) and practice. This is the same for Harmonic Pattern trading too.

Hence, not all the harmonic pattern detection indicators are the same. The main variations of Harmonic pattern indicators can be categorized as following four types. Users should understand the pros and cons of each variation to maximize their trading performance with harmonic patterns.

Type 1: Non lagging (fast signal) but repainting

option to enter from turning point. Indicator does not show the failed pattern in chart and last pattern can repaint. This is almost considered as standard Harmonic Pattern Indicator. Even if they are repainting, harmonic pattern trader just accept it as it is. 99% of time, this is the harmonic pattern product you will get from the market whether they are free or paid one. You can trade live with this indicators but historical patterns can not be used to fine tune your strategy.

Type 2: Lagging (slow signal) but non repainting

no option to enter at turning point (i.e. early signal). This type of indicator turns harmonic pattern indicator as slow as moving average cross over. It might be not overly attractive option for your trading. Indicator does not show the failed pattern. Hence, you can not use historical patterns to tune your strategy but last pattern does not repaint. You can trade live with this indicators but historical patterns can not be used to fine tune your strategy. Probably about 1% of harmonic pattern indicator is this type.

Type 3: Detecting pattern at point C but repainting

option to enter at turning point. Indicator detect pattern too early and you have to wait quite bit of time until price move near the point D. In fact, price may not move near point D. You might just waste your time waiting for the pattern. Indicator does not show the failed pattern and last pattern can repaint. You can trade live with this indicators but historical patterns can not be used to fine tune your strategy. Probably about 1% of harmonic pattern indicator is this type.

Type 4: Non lagging (fast signal) and non repainting

option to enter from turning point. At the same time, the pattern is not repainting. This is hybrid of all above three system and can be considered as the most powerful harmonic pattern indicator. You can trade live with this indicators and you can also use historical patterns to fine tune your strategy. With this indicator, you are complying perfectly with the statement “Trade What you See”.

MetaTrader 4 is one of the most popular trading platform since 2010. It is accessible for free of charge for any trader from all over the world. We provide a range of powerful harmonic pattern detection indicator particularly for MetaTrader 4 platform. Below is the list:

1. Harmonic Pattern Plus (2014)

Fractal Pattern Scanner – Trading Operation

In this short article, we will explain the trading operation with turning point probability for Fractal Pattern Scanner in MetaTrader and in Optimum Chart. Fractal Pattern Scanner provides three main features. The three features include:

1. Turning Point Probability Measurement (Essential feature that you can use everyday)

2. Breakout and Reversal Trading Signal Detection with Mother Wave detection

3. Automatic Gann Angles (Bonus feature and optional use only)

The turning point probability measurement is the essential to your daily trading. The turning point probability basically quantifies the price action in your chart. Quantifying the price action will provide you the another level of trading experience. Capability to access the turning point probability in one button click is really handy feature for every day trader on the earth. In addition, Fractal Pattern Scanner provides the probability scanning capability across all timeframe. You can also switch on and off the multiple timeframe pattern detection. When you set Detect Mother Wave = false, you can run the Fractal Pattern Scanner as the pure probability machine.

The turning point probability is a powerful tool that you can use it as both reversal trading or breakout trading within your technical analysis. You can watch this YouTube video titled as “Breakout Trading vs Reversal Trading” in this link below to get some hands on practice with breakout and reversal trading opportunity with Fractal Pattern Scanner.

YouTube Video Link: https://youtu.be/UbORmOacKIQ

Mother wave pattern detection can be considered as the statistical representation of the Elliott Wave Theory. For example, Mother wave pattern detect the pattern inside pattern structure, where small patterns are jagged inside big pattern, like the Elliott Wave pattern. We can use this pattern inside pattern to trade both reversal and breakout trading. Fractal Pattern Scanner does the excellent job in detecting these signals automatically. When you set Detect Mother Wave = true, then Fractal Pattern Scanner will detect trading signal using Mother wave pattern detection. Even in that, you can also perform both breakout and reversal trading automatically.

If you want to use Breakout Trading Mode, then set Detect Breakout Opportunity = true.
If you want to use Reversal Trading Mode, then set Detect Breakout Opportunity = false.
You can also watch the YouTube Video titled as “Breakout Trading Signal Explained” to understand the breakout trading with mother wave detection.

YouTube video link: https://youtu.be/4XGuMIMaV6w

====================================================================================

Mother Wave Pattern Explained further

The idea behind the Breakout trading with Mother wave is to detect mother wave relatively young and fresh. Those young and fresh mother wave will be typically found in the low turning point probability area. Then what does “First Child Price Probability” input do ? It is the criteria for how small first child wave could be when the mother wave pattern is detected. If this is even hard to understand, then you can think it is the size of mother wave.

If you set the First Child Price Probability = 30%, then Fractal Pattern Scanner will detect first child wave with its size less than 30% amplitude. Likewise, if you set the First Child Price Probability = 50%, then Fractal Pattern Scanner will detect first child wave with its size less than 50%. For your information, the detected mother wave patterns does not provide any sort of geometric regularity detection in the case of breakout trading. We have taught you several geometric regularity detection like support, resistance and triangle and wedge patterns. You will need similar sort of operation here.

In the reversal trading mode with Mother Wave, the size of first child wave is no longer required to be controlled. However, we can control the size of Mother wave. The idea behind the reversal trading mode is to detect mature mother wave pattern that are likely to make reversal movement. Hence, it is better to find these mother wave patterns in high probability area in the probability graph.

For this reason, we have set the mother wave price probability = 80%. You can set even higher number if you wish. When you are using reversal trading mode, we provide automatic Fibonacci expansion to help you to decide the final turning point. This is sort of geometric regularity you can use. But you can use any other geometric regularity we have taught you in our articles and books too like Harmonic Pattern or Elliott Wave patterns, etc if you are good with them.

Here is some important tips. From our experience, some Forex symbols are better with breakout trading mode. Some Forex symbols are better with reversal trading mode. To find out the best trading approach, just set Bars to Scan = 6000 or higher. Just find how each trading mode is profitable in the chart.

You can also use strategy tester for this purpose too. When you are using the strategy tester, then set Calculating with Trailing Data = true. This will tell the Fractal Pattern Scanner to calculate the probability with trailing data (i.e. technical analysis approach) rather than the statistical approach. When you are using technical analysis approach, the probability will be calculated like other technical indicators like Moving average indicator or RSI indicator using trailing data. In statistical approach, the entire data will be used to calculate probability.

Statistical approach and technical analysis approach does not matter for the latest pattern to trade. It is only matter for historical patterns for your information. I personally prefer to calculate the probability using Statistical approach because it provides the identical probability across all price series.

I guess it is too much mathematical talk. I will cut it out. If you do not want to think, then just remember these two cases.

A. If you want to see the historical patterns in your chart, then set “Calculating with Trailing Data” = false.

B. When you are using the strategy tester, then set “Calculating with Trailing Data” = true.

Smart Renko Basics

Here we will explain how to use Smart Renko in brief. Since renko chart is already popular tools among trader, we will leave out too much details here. You can always google the keyword Renko chart to know more about how to trade with renko chart.

Smart Renko is a hybrid between renko chart and candlestick chart. Smart Renko keeps the spread view of the renko bricks on the candle stick chart and then it also keeps the normal renko chart on the bottom.

The advantage of Smart Renko is that you can use the analysis of renko chart together with the analysis of candlestick chart at the same time.

Just like normal renko chart, Smart Renko chart need to decide the good number for brick height. From my experience, you can the brick height near the 1 standard deviation. However, you must use the brick height in the round number because standard deviation might come in decimal numbers. So be sure to round up those decimal numbers into good integer numbers.

Another consideration is that your brick height should be in the factor of 100 or 1000 pips for your trading. That is like 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100, etc. From my experience, these factored number can serve better for your brick height. If you do not choose sensible brick height, then you might not able to see anything on your charts. So be sure to choose the sensible brick height.

Finally do not forget that in Smart Renko, your analysis in Renko chart can be transferred to Main chart by double clicking over the Trend lines.

If you want to dig deeper, please google on renko chart. You will see a lot of articles about Renko charts and how to trade with them.
