understanding 5-0 harmonic patterns-2It can be seen that a harmonic 5-0 made in 30 min time frame which was a bullish 5-0 pattern, failing to sustain at the support .50 retracement a plunge in price action seen which was too fast like the previous example where it becomes extremely difficult to react so fast to decide except to book a loss as fast as possible.
it is requested to you all who are viewing this article to view with the previous 5-0 pattern to get a clear idea about the 5-0 patterns. However I am once again mentioning the 5-0 pattern rules.
What is the 5-0 harmonic pattern?
Just as it is with the shark pattern, the 5-0 harmonic pattern is a relatively new pattern. Carney discovered it and wrote about this pattern in the second book in his harmonic series, ‘Harmonic Trading: Volume Two’.
The 5-0 pattern is easily one of the wonkiest looking patterns. Depending on the amount of knowledge you have about harmonic patterns, the 5-0 will look different, and this is mainly because the 5-0 pattern begins a 0. If you are familiar with seeing XABCD, then 0XABCD will undoubtedly look different.
The patterns are relatively new but are getting more popular lately. It stands out from the other harmonic patterns because it is meant to begin a new trend rather than discover retracement. There are two types of this pattern, bullish and bearish.
The convergence zones discovered with the help of the shark pattern makes it possible for us to accurately detect the rebound but doesn’t necessarily lead to the restoration of the previous trend. On the other hand, regular rollbacks aim to determine the ability of the forces dominant on the market in the previous period (bears or bulls) to get the initiative back to their disposal. If they are not sufficient, the last reversal of the previous trend occurs, but already within another pattern – 5-0 harmonic pattern.
How to identify the 5-0 pattern?
The 5-0 pattern begins with either an uptrend or a downtrend which gets exhausted and draws zigzag like corrective movements. The qualities of the 5-0 pattern to look at include:
AB movement has to be 1.13 to 1.618 retracement of XA.
BC movement has to be 1.618 to 2.24 retracement of an AB.
CD movement ought to be 0.5 retracements of BC
C should be between 0.886 and 1.13 of 0X movement
If the conditions are satisfied, some traders trade the last leg of CD. They entering at C with a stop below 2.24 of AB retracement and aiming at 50 percent correction of BC movement.
The 5-0 harmonic pattern is traded when the price is getting to point D. The stop-loss is positioned a few ticks below/above the farthest possible D level. Unlike a lot of the other patterns, 5-0 doesn’t have specific targets because it usually begins a new trend. Here the pattern fib ratios don’t matter much. Entries might be done with a limit order or on price reversals away from point D. All entries have to be confirmed for risk/reward ratio. Entries having less risk/reward have to be taken cautiously or discarded altogether.
