Harmonics Patterns on USDCADSome of my trading counterparts and colleagues asked me why I am so into USDCAD recently and still holding on to my trade since I shorted this pair during Xmas 2018 on a Weekly Bearish Bat pattern completion. So I decided to share this education segment to the trading community on some insights of my trading strategies.
Take a look at my chart on the USDCAD H4 timeframe. I have tried my level best to scale the chart so that all my analysis to identify Harmonic Patterns are still visible to viewers. Can you spot how many patterns are there? There is a potential buy opportunity now as well since H4 Bat is completed.
For Harmonic Pattern traders, we know that each pattern completes at Point D, regardless whether they are Bullish or Bearish patterns. Some of the harmonics patterns that I use:
1) Bat
2) Gartley / Deep Gartley
3) Butterfly
4) Shark
5) Crab / Deep Crab
6) 5-0
I also combine other strategies I have learned such as Supply & Demand, Structure Trading, Candlestick Analysis, and most importantly Multiple Timeframe Analysis. Back to the trade I am currently in, at the moment it is running 400+ pips of profit, closing in to 500pips while my TP1 level is at 540pips. This is my big timeframe trade and I know USDCAD has huge potential to go even lower. While having this thought, what else can I do:
- do short selling on this pair on smaller timeframes to build up my position.
- when a bullish Harmonics Pattern emerges and it fits all my trade filters, long the pair and aim for conservative targets (I am on long term bearish-ness for the pair).
- move my stop loss gradually each time a major support level is broken to lock in my profits, you dont want to give back the profits to the market!
- check my indicators on big time frame for trend reversal to determine if I should take profit early.
After trading for some years now, an important lesson I want to share with you is to stick to the few strategies that has been proven profitable over a series of back-testing. I am fortunate to learn the AUTHENTIC way to trade Harmonics Patterns and hence sharpen my trading skill dramatically. Sure there are many other trading strategies that are also profitable, however let us not go into learning everything there is to offer out there, instead focus on being a consistent and profitable trader. I always think back the very reason why I come into the trading scene about 5-6 years ago - To profit from the financial markets and free up time and life choices to pursue the more important things in life such as quality family time. I am glad that things are working out slowly for me, what about you?
Thank you for reading, one final take away I like my readers to have - stay focus on your life goals and stick to your trading plan/rules.

USDJPY-Weekly Market Analysis-Feb19,Wk5Based of the 4-hourly chart buy zone, is great to see an emerging bullish bat completes within the zone.
Let see if it form up by 4th March 2019, if not most likely this Bullish Bat Pattern is invalid.

EURUSD-Weekly Market Analysis-Feb19,Wk51 thing I love on the bearish shark, it completes at the sell zone on the daily chart.
But 1 thing I don't like about it, the ABCD completion came into the zone of previous support which is a legit resistance area.

GBPNZD H1 Bearish BatH1 Bearish Bat Harmonics Pattern
The pattern will complete at point D however I am entering trade on a deeper price represented by the black dotted line. Reason for this is because this is GBPNZD - GBP cross pair and tend to be more volatile and higher broker spread.
I saw bigger Bullish Harmonics Patterns on H4 and Daily on the Higher timeframe and gave me added reason to short this pair at this level.
Entry: 1.8965
SL: 1.9032 (-67pips)
TP1: 1.8846 (+119pips)
TP2: 1.8780 (+185pips)

Trade Ideas Position: USDCAD BatA bullish bat pattern on this setup gives a good consideration to engage the trade.
If you have spotted, CADJPY gives an Emerging Bearish Shark Formation and such give traders more thoughts on currency correlation.
Will this affect your trade plan?
Think about it.

Trade Ideas Position: NZDUSD BatBearish Bat formation forming up. One nice thing on this formation is the Pt D completion is not just near X but is near a consolidation area.
But what I don't quite like is the recent bullish candle is stronger than the bearish candle.

Trade Ideas Review : EURJPY BatJust like all other traders, at the moment when this trade is engaged, the trader(I) see this trade as a Profitable Trade, hence, I've engaged the trade.
What makes me different is that the trading system has been tested, I emotionless engage the trade in acceptance of the worst case scenario, in this case, losing.
The outcome on either Profit or Loss doesn't surprise me in any way.
In this case, a 38pips if a standard contract traded, it's a 380USD/lot gained. To me, I measure all profitability in pips and not in %gained as each trader might engage the same trade in a different approach.
