Gartley222

Gold Gartley 222, AB=CD from 78% retracementThe pin bar was a reaction from the 78% Fib retracement and also an equal 1 to 1 AB=CD, but now let's see whether there will be a follow-up and price confirmation for long. This level is also a 61% retracement of the bigger swing up so a confluence point. For now, I don't see a definite entry signal unless I want to buy the level which I often do at the higher timeframes. The risk to reward shown is what will be the target if you pick the 161% extension for a target.

GBPUSD, Short, AB=CD Gartley222, Extended pin bar at key levelWe might play out this as a Gartley222. Not entering at the 78% retracement level, but we have a great pin bar on the 2Hour chart at a very Key level. Close below the previous major low and a 1 to 1 AB-CD move. Volume profile- the pin bar occurred on raising volume which for me indicates stops taken, but also it's what Wyckoff will call nonvalidation, huge volume, but the bar closed at its lowest. Nonvalidation is a good edge at turning points. The red box is the 61% retracement of the AD leg of the Gartley. Some people use this as a target. I manage the trade differently but wanted to illustrate that even this target provides a good Rirk/Reward rate. P.S. For the harmonic pattern junkies: the red dotted line might be interpreted in the 1-hour chart as a 3 drives pattern, entering at the level was going to be great. I was personally late for it.

EURCHF, Gartley222, 78% retracement, bounce from Weekly 20EMAShort opportunity in the form of a harmonic Gartley pattern or simply an AB=CD at the 78% retracement level. This is with trend trade, the price at the moment is at the Weekly 20 EMA. Hope for a bounce from there. The risk to reward illustrates the distance to the 161% extension. It's a long way to go so if you decide to run this as a runner target, you better stage out at some point and put the stop to breakeven. These targets are not easy to reach and are not high hit-rate aims, but are ones that can easily make half of your trading gains.

Gartley222 in SP500Planning to buy the 78% Fib level (if the structure doesn't change) which also is a previous support/resistance level. Stochastics is also showing some hidden divergence. Longer target is the 161% extension. Look on the left - the same setup played out pretty well. The 161% extension was reached in a bit over 3 days. Why do I mention that? In an uptrent the Gartleys or Springs work. I know it might sound pretty simplistic, but it is in line with the old saying - "When do you buy? -> When the price goes up". Similarly, when I see my Spring work I know we are in an uptrend and I must take all of them.

Countertrend Gartley 222 (AB=CD) in DAX, entry at 78%Something I was observing for, but didn't enter. One way to trade Gartleys is to enter directly at the 78% retracement lever with a stop behind the previous high/low. (Point X) There was no good signal bar at 30 min, 1 hour nor the 2 hour chart so this was a viable way. In this case, one-to-one was already reached. Larry Pesavento suggests for targets the 38% and the e 68% retracements of the AD leg. In this case, as it's a countertrend trade maybe this is the better option, target 1 was already reached in this chart. With the trend, you can even aim for the 161% extension of the AD leg which gives a huge risk-to-reward opportunity. I prefer these.

EURUSD: A cheeky buying opportunity..''BUY MARKET ORDER'' Why buy? bullish Gartley '222' bullish hidden divergences Fibonacci cluster EXTRAS; Sellers were unable to push prices beyond a third of the ongoing rally. This should tell you that the buyers are strong, at least compared to those selling at these prices X is one tick (!) away from a third of the previous rally, coming in at 1.18261, plotted on the chart. The exact low was made at 1.18262 Fibonacci cluster consisting of; 1.618 AB=CD, 2.00 extension, 0.786 retracement Measuring the distance in time and price from X-A and comparing it to the distance in time and price from A-D tells you a whole story. In this case, on the chart we see that it has taken the sellers 10 times as long in time to barely even touch the 0.786 retracement. This should tell you that the buyers are winning the fight less than 0.382 retracement indicates the trend is strong and confirms the theory above I am looking to take this trade with stops 2 pips below 0.886 of XA. If stopped out, I'll be looking to enter again this time with stops 2 pips below X If we go below X next support levels are potentially located at 1.272 or 1.618 extensions Good luck to all everyone trading EUR!
