CHF/JPY - Three DrivesHello traders, this is an early prediction for CHF/JPY which I will update as the trade progresses. Today we have a potential bullish three drives pattern on the 4h chart with several trading opportunities, long and short! Price has now completed the 2nd price drive at 1.44, but it could drop to a maximum of 1.618 therefor altering the entire pattern. I'm going to trade this differently, rather than waiting for the entire pattern to complete I will be going short from the 0.618 or 0.786 retracement level. To back up the price move we have a valid AB=CD within the three drives structure, with a similar amount of price bars although the time completion is slightly off for the C to D leg. As always, trade safe everyone.

AUD/JPY - Bearish 5-0I'm back with another 5-0 pattern but this time on the 4h timeframe with AUD/JPY. Price is currently completing the C point at the minimum 1.618 but it could drop further to 2.24 before making a move towards the PRZ. The measurements for a valid 5-0 pattern are detailed below. B: 1.13 - 1.618 C: 1.618 - 2.24 D: 0.50 The 5-0 structure has a perfect reciprocal AB=CD pattern within it, which completes at the 50% retracement level at D.

XAG/USD - A Short Review of the 5-0Harmonic patterns are a very precise way to trade, if executed correctly. BUT... The 5-0 is my all time favourite pattern to trade, my accuracy with this pattern across all financial markets is absolutely mindblowing. Two months ago I posted a 5-0 pattern on the 4h timeframe (chart is shown below), I'm using the same timeframe today and now that the move has finished I'd like to give you guys a short review of this trade from top to bottom. I encourage you to click the play button (load new bars) on the chart. The measurements for a valid 5-0 pattern are detailed below. B: 1.13 - 1.618 C: 1.618 - 2.24 D: 0.50 This setup offered an excellent risk to reward of 1:3. The C point formed just below 2.24, creating an opportunity to short as it formed a valid bearish shark pattern (chart is shown below). Most shark patterns turn out to be 5-0's, providing a double trading opportunity like the one shown. The outcome was absolutely perfect, the reversals were extremely precise and it's the main reason why harmonic patterns are becoming the most popular way to trade.

How to Use Fibonacci RetracementsHow to Use Fibonacci Retracements I'm back with another educational post after receiving a lot of requests and today's lesson is on how to use Fibonacci retracements. I've used a recent market example with NZD/USD to break this down for you. Let's get straight into the finer details before breaking down each section of the chart shown. Fibonacci retracement levels are amongst the invisible levels of support and resistance within the market, providing objective price reference points. Essentially where the flow of buying and selling is likely to change. The main Fibonacci retracement levels used are shown below. Fibonacci Ratios 0.382 (Indicating a strong trend) 0.50 0.618 Where can I find the tool? You can find the Fibonacci retracement tool in the chart section by going to your left sidebar, third section down and the icon is three horizontal lines. Upon your first use of this tool, you will want to edit the settings and add in the three ratios stated above if they are not already there, make sure you tick the boxes to use them. How do I use it? To apply the tool on your charts click from high to low to measure the full price swing. OR Draw in your tool from low to high depending on the market situation. Breaking down the charts If you're basing your trades off Fibonacci retracements they work at best in trending markets, but if it's used as a part of your strategy it can be effectively applied to any or most types of markets. Now let's look at the chart for recent examples of price reversals using Fibonacci retracements. If you look at the example on the left-hand side, I measured from high to low and price hit bang on the 0.618 retracement level. Your question right now will be... How did you know it was going to reverse? I personally go off the retracement level that is causing the most activity within the market. Have a look at price history and see what is happening at the particular level, is there a lot of stalling? Is it a key support or resistance level within the market? If so, price will more than likely reverse there in comparison to the other retracement levels. To validate the reversal you will, of course, want to analyse price action, what are the candlesticks telling you? Any signs of indecision or stalling at a certain level will help you make a solid choice whether to take the trade or not. Now let's take a look at the right-hand side, this time I have two examples (again I measured from high to low). You can see from the top example price pulled back to the 0.382 and 0.50 retracement levels not once or twice but three times before dropping. Indicating a very strong resistance level! The bottom example is a similar situation, price spiked up above the 0.50 retracement level (all candlesticks closed below) before heading in the opposite direction. To round of this educational post, I hope you found this extremely useful and you can now use Fibonacci retracements in your own trading. I am available via private message for any questions you may have. Here's to your success!!!

BTC/USD - Bullish 5-0Hello traders, following up from my three drives post for BTC/USD (chart is shown below), I'm now looking at a potential bullish 5-0 on the weekly timeframe. If the three drives pattern fails to complete, the bullish 5-0 will be the favoured outcome. The measurements for a valid 5-0 pattern are detailed below. B: 1.13 - 1.618 C: 1.618 - 2.24 D: 0.50 I have drawn up this pattern before using a C point of 1.618, but it did not form until 2.24 and this is why I'm re-posting. Thank you all for your continued support! Feel free to connect with me below.

USD/JPY - Bullish 5-0 patternHere we are looking at a bearish 5-0 pattern on the 4h chart with USD/JPY. As the market price has been moving down for this pair, it seems that we have reached a point of reversal. Signaled by a new higher low at B point (circled), this marks a shift in trend and also a completion of an ABCD pattern referenced in my related ideas. We can look for price to reverse all the way up to C point, then look for a reversal to complete the pattern. Risk Ratio - 3:1 The measurements for a valid 5-0 pattern are detailed below. B: 1.13 - 1.618 C: 1.618 - 2.24 D: 0.50
