Harmonic Pattern Indicators is one of the most advanced but the most difficult indicators to write in comparison to other technical indicators.

Just like we can't avoid the physical law of falling towards Gravity, harmonic pattern indicators can't avoid using heavy computational resources.  

This is one of reason why we can't build Expert Advisors based on Harmonic Pattern indicator at least for the time being, I mean the proper one.

Here I am giving you few tips to save some computational resources.

1. reduce Zig Zag Maximum Depth to 100 or 120 from default 150

2. set Zig Zag Depth incremental step to 2 to 1 (2 is acceptable but 3 or 4 might cause too coarse search of pattern.)

I hope this is helpful.

Kind regards.

You were probably using wrong trading methods in the past and did not understand how to trade using harmonic patterns.

Ha Ha :) :)

Also if you want to combine harmonic pattern trading style and your own trading system, you could use harmonic Pattern Plus to do that.

Harmonic pattern is one of very few trading system you can  trade with phase 1 of trend (if you don't understand phase 1, just read Birth of new Trend Triple entry trading system of my own).

You can combine with almost any trading system with harmonic pattern trading style.

Ha Ha  :) :)

Harmonic pattern plus can help you to do this by providing you the back testing capabilities.

For example, one great idea is to combine harmonic pattern with Volume spread analysis (VSA) or Volume price analysis (VPA).

Harmonic pattern is based on pure price action and the some missing puzzles can be found by looking at VSA or VPA.  

This is just one example. If you know which trend phase your trading system works, then you can always combine your trading system with harmonic pattern.

Then may the luck be with you in Forex market. 

Kind regards.

Here I will show few pictures to help how patterns are works together in financial market. I followed this since 9 June.

Firstly we get bullish breakout with falling wedge pattern on 12 June.

Secondly we get Big bearish pattern to alarm you possible bearish market on 20 June after the nice bullish rally from 12 June.

Thirdly  we get symmetrical triangle on 26 June to tell you possible price direction change. The triangle lead to big bullish breakout.

Then, bearish butterfly pattern formed and alarm you possible exit timing from the previous bullish breakout.

Just give you an idea how these pattern (Harmonic pattern and breakout pattern) work tougher.

For your further information, Harmonic patterns are used by many independent traders ( They are not necessarily trading on trading floor) and they are used for some serious investors with serious money as they are easy to use and powerful.

Breakout patterns are on the trading text book and used by many professional traders. If you enrol professional financial trading firm, then they will learn breakout patterns (double top, head and shoulder, triangle, etc) for must.

Interesting question arose here Who is more powerful between harmonic pattern and breakout pattern? In my view both helps each other. You will become more successful trader combining both indicators.

I hope this was helpful for your successful trading.

Kind regards.

Dear MQL5 Users.

Thanks for your continuous support on my Harmonic Pattern Plus.  

Here I show you one way to get most out of my Harmonic Pattern Plus. I will teach you how to unlock one of the secrete function with Harmonic Pattern Plus. 

On the Change size of ray for line object, type a number (day + month, for example, today is 9 June, then put 15=9+6).

Then the Harmonic Pattern Plus will scan two times more historical patterns on your chart. Use this past patterns to construct your trading strategy.

In my EURJPY H1 chart, I found almost 60 harmonic patterns to study with.  (Note that this won't affect the latest pattern.)

Harmonic Pattern Plus is only tool in the market providing your the statistical proof of profits of each harmonic pattern (watch the video how to develop powerful trading strategy with harmonic pattern plus.)

https://www.mql5.com/en/market/product/4475
https://www.mql5.com/en/market/product/4488

Here is the code to call Harmonic Pattern Plus from your Expert Advisors. Nothing is special. Just use iCustom function as you used for other EA.

int iHandle  = iCustom(Symbol(), Period(), ::Indicators\\Examples\\Harmonic Pattern Plus MT5_v2.5.ex5); //Call this line from:  void OnInit()

  

      //Check New bar before call this routine from:     void OnTick()

      double BullPattern[];
      double BearPattern[];
      double PatternType[];
      double PatternSize[];
      
      
      ArrayResize(BullPattern,        3);
      ArrayResize(BearPattern,        3);
      ArrayResize(PatternType,        3);
      ArrayResize(PatternSize,        3);
    
      
      ArrayInitialize(BullPattern,        0.0);
      ArrayInitialize(BearPattern,        0.0);
      ArrayInitialize(PatternType,        0.0);
      ArrayInitialize(PatternSize,        0.0);
      
      
      //Buffer 3 is empty, so don't use
      if(CopyBuffer(iHandle0, 0, 0, 3,        BullPattern)<0) {printf("Harmonic Indicator Copy Error for Buffer 0");}
      if(CopyBuffer(iHandle0, 1, 0, 3,        BearPattern)<0) {printf("Harmonic Indicator Copy Error for Buffer 1");}
      if(CopyBuffer(iHandle0, 2, 0, 3,        PatternType)<0) {printf("Harmonic Indicator Copy Error for Buffer 2");}
      if(CopyBuffer(iHandle0, 4, 0, 3,        PatternSize)<0) {printf("Harmonic Indicator Copy Error for Buffer 4");}

 


          
          //Define Bearish Signal (Down Signal)
          if(BullPattern[1] == EMPTY_VALUE && BearPattern[1] != EMPTY_VALUE && BearPattern[1] > 0.0) 
          {
              DnSignal=true;
              mBearPatternSize = PatternSize[1];
        
              printf("PatternType[1]=%f,  PatternSize[1]; = %f", PatternType[1], PatternSize[1];);
          }
          
          
       
          //Define Bullish Signal (Up Signal)
          if(BullPattern[1] > 0.0 && BullPattern[1] != EMPTY_VALUE  && BearPattern[1] == EMPTY_VALUE) 
          {
              UpSignal=true;
              mBullPatternSize = PatternSize[index];
              
              printf("PatternType[1]=%f,  PatternSize[1]; = %f", PatternType[1], PatternSize[1];);
           }

One thing I noticed is that strategy tester display all the found patterns on the charts even if you set to display 1 pattern at a time. So you won't feel how nice to control back and forth, the previous and next patterns one by one when you test in your strategy tester.  

Unfortunately control on strategy tester is beyond my hand. But just remember that everything works nicely in real time charting with Harmonic Pattern Plus. It is only strategy tester does not behave as it should be.

Video Tutorials for Harmonic Pattern Plus and Harmonic Pattern Scenario Planner Guide

A Video Tutorial to presents new update for Harmonic Pattern Plus (version 2.8) and Harmonic Pattern Scenario Planner (version 3.2). Watch in High Definition Mode (1080p) and Full screen to see texts and charts in details.

A lot of customers don't realize that Harmonic Pattern Plus has the powerful candle stick pattern built inside to assist your harmonic pattern trading because it is switched off when it is shipped to you.

The built in candlestick is as good or even better than any other stand alone candlestick pattern detector in the market. It can detect 52 candle stick patterns purely using price action. We don't use any moving average filters in our candle stick pattern detector. 

So please don't forget to just switch on UseCandleStick pattern = true on the bottom of your indicator settings to use your candle stick pattern scanner in your Harmonic Pattern Plus.

Kind regards.
