78 Trading ABC Patterns by Suri Duddella Markets demonstrate repetitive patterns where prices oscillate between one set of price ratios to another making price projections possible. Market trends can be defined by geometric relationships as they exhibit harmonic relationships between the price and time swings. Many investors/traders use “cycles” and “harmonic” relationships to project future swing price/times. These harmonic price movements produce symmetric rallies and declines to give traders an advantage to determine the key turning points. “Symmetry” is visible in all markets and in all timeframes. The ABC Chart pattern and its related AB=CD Chart Pattern are prime examples of "Symmetry" in the markets. These "Harmonic" patterns help traders to identify buying and selling opportunities in all markets and in all time-frames. The ABC and AB=CD patterns are first described by H.M. Gartley in his book "Profits in the Stock Market." (1935). The main advantages of trading harmonic patterns are that they allow traders to determine risk vs. reward ratios beforehand as they forecast key market turning points and profit targets for traders. In this article, I will describe how to trade 'ABC' chart patterns. The ABC pattern (can be a continuous or reversal pattern) and it is shaped like a lightning bolt. Identification The key point in identifying an ABC and AB=CD patterns is to correctly detect the A, B, and C key inflection (Pivot) points in a chart while they are forming. These inflection points are determined from key swing highs and lows of various levels, and for its correction waves to determine distinct "swings." The potential C point is usually forecasted by the fib. retracements (0.38 to 0.618) of AB Swing. Once A, B, and C points (and AB, BC legs) are identified, a projection algorithm is applied to compute the Potential Completion Zone (PCZ). This PCZ area is where ABC pattern is expected to complete and may signal continuation of its trend in the first trend direction (AB). Following the completion of BC leg, the projections of AB and BC legs (using fib. ratios) are plotted (from C) to generate targets. The ABC pattern is traded in the trend direction of AB from C to D. The following charts show both ABC Bullish and ABC Bearish formations with its trade information in TradeStation software. Conditions: The swing legs (AB and BC) in ABC pattern are generally in symmetrical proportions both in price and time with consistent slopes. The tradable CD leg has a harmonic relation with symmetry for AB and BC swings. The ABC bullish structures are formed after a prolong prior down trend or consolidation trends,
Conditions The swing legs (AB and BC) in ABC pattern are generally in symmetrical proportions both in price and time with consistent slopes. The tradable CD leg has a harmonic relation with symmetry for AB and BC swings. The ABC bullish structures are formed after a prolong prior down trend or consolidation trends, whereas bearish ABC patterns are formed after a prior uptrend. Pattern Detection A Pattern Completion Zone (PCZ) is computed using AB swing and Fibonacci ratios (50-88.6% of AB). This PCZ area is where 'C' pivot is formed at the end of BC swing and to signal completion of ABC pattern. The Fibonacci relationships help and give ideas an approximate area (PCZ) where the pattern may complete. Precise ratio levels for reversals or targets in patterns are very rare and a tolerance ratio of +/2% is added for the fib. ratios. Pattern confluences with other patterns, support/resistance areas, MAs and other market context elements must be used to identify and validate the pattern structure. Example: ● The following chart shows the auto-generated ABC bullish pattern formation in current 20 Year Treasury Bond ETF TLT (weekly) chart from 2012 to 2016. Here are some of the key points and how it is traded. Trade Entry: After ABC pattern is completed, it is advisable to wait for the pattern to confirm a reversal signal using any momentum based indicator or price confirmation mechanisms. I use various confirmation and trade entry methods, but one of the methods is price crossing 2-bar high after 'C' in ABC Bullish pattern or a 2-bar low after 'C' in ABC bearish pattern. Stop: A Stop is placed few ticks below C (in Bullish) or few ticks above C (in Bearish) levels. Targets: The ABC Pattern targets are computed using the AB and BC swings. The height pattern (AB) is used to project target levels from C-level using fib. ratios. The first target zone is (62-79% AB) from 'C' and second target zone is (127-162% AB). A secondary target level is set at 100% AB Level at 152.21. Key Ideas to Remember: ● TLT was in downtrend from 2012 to late 2013. ● From the beginning of 2014 to beginning of 2015, TLT reversed its prior trend and formed AB Leg (A at 101.17 and B at 138.50). ● During 2015, TLT started to decline to 63.4% of AB leg and formed BC leg. ● After completion of 'BC' leg (7/24/2015), a reversal above 2-Bar high signals a long entry at EL: 119.19. ● A Stop is placed below 'C' at 114.88 (-4.32). ● The first Target Zone is set at 137.95-144.22 and second target zone is set at 162.29-175.35 ● In July 2016, TLT reached its first target zone (137-144). Bearish pattern.
80 Perfect ABC Patterns
81 Perfect ABC Setups One of my favorite patterns is called trading 'Perfect ABC pattern'. ABCs occur in all time-frames and all-instruments. A Perfect ABC setup is explained here. Using Fib. Grid structure on trading charts along with ABC and other pattern detection methods. A Perfect ABC (Bullish) occurs when price is in sell off mode and makes 'A' pivot below the lower Fib. Band, 'B' above or near the Mid-Fib.Band, and 'C' below the Mid-Fib Band with at least 50% retracement. When this perfect 'ABC ' is detected, I will start watching the price-action from 'C' levels to show the reversal. I also plot Entry and Stop levels from 'C'. When price closes above the 'EntryLevel' (or MidFib Band, in case very close), that is my long entry in to my trade. I place stops below the 'C' level to protect my trade. Once I entered Long trade, my typical targets are near 100 to 127% of AB levels. Depending on the size of ABC, multiple targets are used to exit the trade.
