Harmonic Trading - page 168

 

you know what might be good ? a fibonnaci cluster tool

basically this tool calculates retracements and expansions from recent highs and lows and marks on the screen where they are

perhaps just small dots on the right side next to price. whever lots of dots are together would mean strong areas of support/resistance.

this could be done based on zigzag or based on fxsystemtraders SAR method

 

actually i have another question

this doesnt seem to work out mathematically for me

in my drawing below, the #s represent the height or distance on the Y axis of the line segments

and not the retracement level. Imagine it is a coordinate axis with X at (0,0)

lets say line segment XA has length of 1.

AB is a .618 retracement of XA, therefore length AB = .618

lets choose .382 as the retracement of AB for BC.

therefore length BC = AB * .382 which is BC = .618 * .382 = .236

BC = .236

Now to calculate CD we have to do something else first.

We know D is a .786 retracement of XA, therefore D has a Y value

on our coordinate plane of 1 - .786 = .214

If we add the line segments up we should get XA - AB + BC - CD = .214

Lets do that

1 - .618 + .236 - CD = .214

CD = .404

However CD is neither 1.27 or 1.618 of BC..huh!?

1.618 * .236 = .381

1.27 * .236 = .299

it doesnt have the retracement values for a butterfly

it is however, a wolfe wave.

EURJPY currently +65 pips, closing 1/2 position, moving stop to BE on other 1/2

 

this might be pointless because of FOMC, but here is a bearish pattern on my indicator
