GARTLEY Harmonic Pattern: How does it work?!
GARTLEY Harmonic Pattern: How does it work?!
The "Gartley", as its name suggests, was introduced by Henry Mackinley Gartley.
All other harmonic patterns are modifications of the Gartley.
Its construction consists of 5 waves:
XA: This could be any violent movement on the chart and there are no specific requirements for this movement in order to be a Gartley start
AB: This is opposite to the XA movement and it should be about 61.8% of the XA movement.
BC: This price movement should be opposite to the AB movement and it should be 38.2% or 88.6% of the AB movement.
CD: The last price movement is opposite to BC and it should be 127.2% (extension) of CD if BC is 38.2% of BC. If BC is 88.6% of BC, then CD should be 161.8% (extension) of BC.
AD: The overall price movement between A and D should be 78.6% of XA
How to use it
Point D is where you come in, man! It's your entry signal.
-If it's an M pattern, you buy.
-If it's a W, you sell2.
Where to put your STOP LOSS??
-Below or "X" if you are a BUYER.
-Above "X" if you are a SELLER.
These percentages are based on the famous Fibonacci ratios, as mysterious as the pyramids of Egypt!
Ultimately, the Gartley pattern is like a good Cuban cigar: it requires patience and experience to be appreciated at its true value. But once you master it, it can become a powerful tool in your trading arsenal, as effective as a punch from Rocky Balboa!
