Gartley Harmonic Pattern [TradingFinder] Harmonic Chart patterns🔵 Introduction
Research by H.M. Gartley and Scott Carney emphasizes the importance of harmonic patterns in technical analysis for predicting market movements. Gartley's work, particularly the Gartley 222 pattern, is detailed in his book "Profits in the Stock Market" and relies on the specific placement of points X, A, B, C, and D.
🟣 Defining the Gartley Pattern
The Gartley pattern is a powerful technical analysis tool often seen at the end of a trend, signaling a potential reversal. Ideally, it forms during the first and second waves of Elliott Wave theory, with wave XA representing wave 1 and the entire ABCD correction representing wave 2.
While patterns outside this structure are also valid, the key points of the Gartley pattern align closely with Fibonacci retracement levels. Specifically, point B corrects wave XA to the 61.8% level, point C lies between 38% and 79% of wave AB, and point D extends between 113% and 162% of wave BC.
The bullish Gartley pattern, shown below, forms at the end of a downtrend and signals a potential buying opportunity.
Bullish :
Bearish :
🔵 How to Use
🟣 Bullish Gartley Pattern
To spot a bullish Gartley pattern, follow these rules: the move from point X to point A (the first leg) must be upward. The subsequent move from point A to point B is downward, followed by an upward move from point B to point C.
Finally, the move from point C to point D is downward. On a chart, this pattern resembles the letter M. After the final leg of this pattern, prices are expected to rise from point D.
🟣 Bearish Gartley Pattern
A bearish Gartley pattern forms similarly to the bullish one but in reverse. The initial move from point X to point A should be downward. The next move from point A to point B is upward, followed by a downward move from point B to point C.
The final leg moves upward from point C to point D. This pattern appears as a W on charts, indicating that prices are likely to fall from point D after the final move.
By understanding and identifying Gartley patterns, traders can enhance their technical analysis and improve their decision-making in financial markets. These patterns, when correctly identified, offer significant insights into potential market reversals and continuation patterns.
🔵 Setting
🟣 Logical Setting
ZigZag Pivot Period : You can adjust the period so that the harmonic patterns are adjusted according to the pivot period you want. This factor is the most important parameter in pattern recognition.
Show Valid Format : If this parameter is on "On" mode, only patterns will be displayed that they have exact format and no noise can be seen in them. If "Off" is, the patterns displayed that maybe are noisy and do not exactly correspond to the original pattern
Show Formation Last Pivot Confirm : if Turned on, you can see this ability of patterns when their last pivot is formed. If this feature is off, it will see the patterns as soon as they are formed. The advantage of this option being clear is less formation of fielded patterns, and it is accompanied by the latest pattern seeing and a sharp reduction in reward to risk.
Period of Formation Last Pivot : Using this parameter you can determine that the last pivot is based on Pivot period.
🟣 Genaral Setting
Show : Enter "On" to display the template and "Off" to not display the template.
Color : Enter the desired color to draw the pattern in this parameter.
LineWidth : You can enter the number 1 or numbers higher than one to adjust the thickness of the drawing lines. This number must be an integer and increases with increasing thickness.
LabelSize : You can adjust the size of the labels by using the "size.auto", "size.tiny", "size.smal", "size.normal", "size.large" or "size.huge" entries.
🟣 Alert Setting
Alert : On / Off
Message Frequency : This string parameter defines the announcement frequency. Choices include: "All" (activates the alert every time the function is called), "Once Per Bar" (activates the alert only on the first call within the bar), and "Once Per Bar Close" (the alert is activated only by a call at the last script execution of the real-time bar upon closing). The default setting is "Once per Bar".
Show Alert Time by Time Zone : The date, hour, and minute you receive in alert messages can be based on any time zone you choose. For example, if you want New York time, you should enter "UTC-4". This input is set to the time zone "UTC" by default.

Harmonic Patterns [WinWorld]PREFACE
This indicator was made with the help of our team's fellow friend and harmonic patterns expert, whose support we deeply appreciate — @Muneer_Gove
DESCRIPTION
Harmonic patterns are one the most recognizable and popular trading concepts in the word of trading.
They are distinct formations, found in the financial markets, that predict potential price movements based on Fibonacci ratios. These patterns, which include the Gartley, Bat, Alt Bat, Butterfly and etc., identify specific and repetitive price structures that can forecast future price reversals. By incorporating these patterns into trading process, one does gain an opportunity to profit from repetetitve price movements.
The whole thing about harmonic pattern is the process of finding them. The basic step-by-step guide to build a harmonic pattern is this:
Locate significant highs and lows on the chart, which form the basis of the pattern. The best tools to use for this purple is zigzag, because zigzag indicator draw lines, which will be helpful quite helpful in the process and will save you a lot of time;
Use Fibonacci tools to measure the retracement and extension levels between legs of pattern — distances between pair of points . Each harmonic pattern has specific Fibonacci ratios that define its structure;
Draw lines connecting the pivot points according to the pattern's structure. For example, a Gartley pattern connects five points (X, A, B, C, D) in a specific sequence and ratio;
Ensure that the identified structure adheres to the harmonic pattern’s Fibonacci requirements. If the points align within the acceptable ranges, the pattern is valid.
In order to better understand this process let's see an example of the pattern from our indicator right away:
This is a Butterfly pattern. Its set of retracememt ratios is as follows:
AB/XA = 0.756 to 0.816
BC/AB = 0.382 to 0.990
CD/BC = 1.618 to 2.618
AD/XA = 1.27
Below you can see that each ratio of the pattern is successfully met:
* Note : white lines — ratio range, yellow line — point 's price level in between ranges.
AB/XA Ratio
BC/AB Ratio
CD/BC Ratio
AD/XA Ratio
SETTINGS

Dashboard — shows/hides dashboard, which displays active patterns (patterns, which can be used to trade).
Alert Settings
PRZ — enables/disables alert of event, when price reaches PRZ.
ZigZag Settings
Depth #1-9 — shows/hides patterns of the chosen zigzag copy. Here you can choose customize depth number.
Pattern Visual Controls

Pending Patterns — shows/hides patterns, whose PRZ has not been reached yet;
list of pattern names — hides/shows chosen pattern.
Colours
Bullish — colour of bullish patterns;
Bearish — colour of bearish patterns.
IMPORTANT CONCEPTS
PRZ — entry target level.
If its text near the line level is purple, it means that PRZ has NOT been reached yet.
If it is white, it means that PRZ has been reached.
In order for SL or TP to be counted when price reaches, price has to reach PRZ first with its high/low.
SL — stop-loss.
If its near the line level is red, it means that SL has NOT been reached yet.
If it is white, it means that SL has been reached.
If it is gray, it means that SL has been invalidated — price crossed with high/low the level of point C before reaching PRZ.
If SL is reached and price reaches TP targets, they will be counted.
SL of each pattern are built by individual ratio. For example, in Butterfly pattern SL ratio is 1.414 and it is calculated as (SL - A)/XA.
IMPORTANT NOTE : SL is reached when price crosses SL level with candle's close (!)
TP — take-profit.
If its near the line level is green, it means that TP has NOT been reached yet.
If it is white, it means that TP has been reached.
If one of the TP targets is reached and price reached SL, it will not be counted.
IMPORTANT NOTE : TP is reached when price crosses TP level with candle's high/low(!)
TP of each pattern are built by same the ratios for all patterns, but it is calculated by individual algorithm. For example, in the same Butterfly pattern TP ratio will be 0.382, 0.500 and 0.618 and they will be placed as Fibonacci retracement grid from point A to point D ( same for formula for all other patterns, excluding the ones listed next ), BUT on Shark , Muner and AB=CD pattern the same TP will be placed as Fibonacci retracement grid from point C to point D
WHY USE THIS INDICATOR?
Our Harmic Patterns indicator uses zigzag, which is based on depth mechanic. In order to identify the maximum possible amount of patterns this indicator runs 9 copies of the same zigzags with different depth values. Each copy of zigzag can be turned off in the settings individually.
At the moment of publishing, this indicator can autmatically identify 10 patterns:
Crab
Deep Crab
Gartley
Deep Gartley
Bat
Alt Bat
Muner
Butterfly
Shark
AB=CD
Things, that make this indicator different from other harmonic pattern indicator, are:
Advanced pattern recognition and validation process. We have implemeted special logic, which allows the indicator to draw fully accurate patterns, which satisfy industry standards.
For example, let's say we have a bearish pattern. We take points X an A. If there is a price's high, that is above X point's high, such pattern should be automatically invalidated. We have found even one indicator that does perform such validation process, and our indicator does that. . And this is just one example, we have much of such mechanics implemeted thanks to Mr. Muner's knowledge.
Advanced pattern extension mechanics . Right this mechanic applies to only one pattern — Shark. Its classic CD/BC ratio is 0.886, but when price moves in a way so this ratio now equals to 1.13, this signal the indicator to redraw the pattern, based on this new CD/BC ratio. We haven't found any indicator on the market that has such mechanic implemented.
Dashboard for displaying active patterns . On this dashboard you can find patterns, whose SL and TP have not been touched yet. If price touches the SL or TP of the pattern, this pattern is removed from the dashboard, because it is considered finished.
At the moment of publishing this dashboard only shows the patterns from the current timeframe.
Informative alert when price reaches PRZ of the pattern . Many other indicator do not provide details of this event, which requires trader to waste his time on opening up the chart and searching for this event. Our indicator allows trader to see the PRZ price right when alert happens and open up the trade much fastr.
Alert message is made by this template:
, : PRZ was reached at on
Example:
BTCUSDT, long Bat: PRZ was reached at 70,000 on 15m.
ALERTS
At the moment of publishing this indicator offers one alert, which happens when price reaches PRZ level.
HOW CAN I GET THE MOST OUT OF THIS INDICATOR?
This indicator can act as the standalone tool, because PRZ, TP and SL are assigned to each pattern and tracked during the pattern's life period.
You can this indicator with any other strategy or indicator, because this indicator is basically a tool that shows the trader repetitive price formations, after which price tends to go a certaion direction in the most cases, allowing trader to profit from it.
You can try combining Harmonic Patterns indicator with Smart Money tools, made by our team, because Smart Money strategies basically show the most liquid price zones and levels, which can be used to find an entry opportunity and Harmonic Patterns indicator can be added to make a final decision on the entry.
If you are interested in trying these two strategies together, feel free to learn Smart Money trading strategy by reading our Advanced SMC guide, which is available in our eductional materials.
SUMMARY
Harmonic Patterns indicator is an advanced tool of technical analysis, which automatically finds 10 most used harmonic patterns on the chart, assign PRZ, TP and SL targets to them and tracks them during each pattern 'life period'.
While searching for these patterns, this indicator performs series of validation techniques, that allow trader to see only the most valid patterns, which have a higher changes to succeed.
This indicator can be used both as a standalone tool and as 'team player' for any stategy by being the tool, which can be used for making a final decision on an entry target.
AFTERWORD
This indicator has been developed for more than 2 weeks, which consisted of everyday discussions, bug fixes and special additons to the algorithm in order to making patterns more valid, so we really hope you will find a great use of this indicator and it will help you recude time on the analysis and boost your profits :)
We want to express our gratitude to @Muneer_Gove once again, because he has done huge job helping us fine-tuning the algorithm, building complex pattern validatiom and extension logic and fixing bugs. Thank you!
Best of luck , traders!

Crab Harmonic Pattern [TradingFinder] Harmonic Chart patterns🔵 Introduction
The Crab pattern is recognized as a reversal pattern in technical analysis, utilizing Fibonacci numbers and percentages for chart analysis. This pattern can predict suitable price reversal areas on charts using Fibonacci ratios.
The structure of the Crab pattern can manifest in both bullish and bearish forms on the chart. By analyzing this structure, traders can identify points where the price direction changes, which are essential for making informed trading decisions.
The pattern's structure is visually represented on charts as shown below. To gain a deeper understanding of the Crab pattern's functionality, it is beneficial to become familiar with its various harmonic forms.
🟣 Types of Crab Patterns
The Crab pattern is categorized into two types based on its structure: bullish and bearish. The bullish Crab is denoted by the letter M, while the bearish Crab is indicated by the letter W in technical analysis.
Typically, a bullish Crab pattern signals a potential price increase, whereas a bearish Crab pattern suggests a potential price decrease on the chart.
The direction of price movement depends significantly on the price's position within the chart. By identifying whether the pattern is bullish or bearish, traders can determine the likely direction of the price reversal.
Bullish Crab :
Bearish Crab :
🔵 How to Use
When trading using the Crab pattern, crucial parameters include the end time of the correction and the point at which the chart reaches its peak. Generally, the best time to buy is when the chart nears the end of its correction, and the best time to sell is when it approaches the peak price.
As we discussed, the end of the price correction and the time to reach the peak are measured using Fibonacci ratios. By analyzing these levels, traders can estimate the end of the correction in the chart waves and select a buying position for their stock or asset upon reaching that ratio.
🟣 Bullish Crab Pattern
In this pattern, the stock price is expected to rise at the pattern's completion, transitioning into an upward trend. The bullish Crab pattern usually begins with an upward trend, followed by a price correction, after which the stock resumes its upward movement.
If a deeper correction occurs, the price will change direction at some point on the chart and rise again towards its target price. Price corrections play a critical role in this pattern, as it aims to identify entry and exit points using Fibonacci ratios, allowing traders to make purchases at the end of the corrections.
When the price movement lines are connected on the chart, the bullish Crab pattern resembles the letter M.
🟣 Bearish Crab Pattern
In this pattern, the stock price is expected to decline at the pattern's completion, leading to a strong downward trend. The bearish Crab pattern typically starts with a price correction in a downward trend and, after several fluctuations, reaches a peak where the direction changes downward, resulting in a significant price drop.
This pattern uses Fibonacci ratios to identify points where the price movement is likely to change direction, enabling traders to exit their positions at the chart's peak. When the price movement lines are connected on the chart, the bearish Crab pattern resembles the letter W.

The value of this indicator is to support traders to easily identify harmonic patterns. The trader saves a lot of time scanning the markets for harmonic patterns, since finding the pattern and alerting for a breakout is done automatically for the trader.
For a visualization of the detected patterns, you can add the TRN Harmonic Patterns Suite indicator to your chart.
How does TRN Harmonics Scanner work?
On the right side of the chart, you can find a table displaying the symbols monitored by our scanner for pattern and breakout detection. The table is divided into bullish and bearish patterns and provides information on the status of each symbol.
UP – Upside Breakout
DN – Downside Breakout
UP CONF – Upside Breakout confirmed
DN CONF – Downside Breakout confirmed
FAILED – Pattern failed to get confirmed
If a pattern is in the making or already got confirmed, the scanner displays the name of the harmonic pattern in the table.
The scanner operates specifically on the timeframe you have selected in TradingView, ensuring that the detected patterns and breakouts align precisely with your trading perspective. If the scanner displays a pattern or a breakout, you just can switch to this instrument and start trading it if you like what you see.
Follow these instructions to discover how you can utilize the scanner for seamless and simplified chart pattern detection like never before:
Add Symbols
Go to indicator settings and scroll down to the "Symbols" section. The enabled symbols can be recognized by the check marks. Click on one of them and use the search function to add the symbol of your choice to the scanner. You can search for up to 20 different symbols at the same time.
Use Alerts (Optional but Recommended)
You can also use the built-in alerts to easily get notified when a pattern occurs. In the indicator settings in the "Alerts" section you can choose whether you want to get notified when a pattern is
1. in the making (Pattern active),
2. confirms an up breakout (B/O Up Confirmed)
3. confirms a down breakout (B/O Down Confirmed)
4. (Unconfirmed) in case a pattern breakout occurs, even if the pattern is not yet confirmed
This allows you to stay informed about potential breakout opportunities.
Customization and settings
The indicator can scan for smaller and larger patterns. Adjust the harmonics size in the indicator settings to align them with your preferences. A larger size results in larger patterns. Depending on the asset class, the market or the market phase, different sizes can be used for pattern detection.
To detect more patterns, increase the tolerance level, even though it may result in lower accuracy. However, be mindful that a higher tolerance level may result in more patterns hitting their stop-loss.
Breakout Conditions
Identifying breakout conditions is paramount for successfully profiting on chart patterns. Trading tools equipped with diverse breakout conditions offer traders a comprehensive approach to deciphering market trends and making informed decisions.
This section delves into the set of breakout conditions built within the Harmonic Pattern Scanner, exploring their functionalities, applications, and the benefits they provide in the realm of chart pattern recognition.
TRN Bars Signal + Trend
The Harmonic Pattern Scanner includes also the TRN Bars algorithm. It is designed to spot bullish and bearish trends and reversals. The trend analysis is based on a new algorithm that weights several different inputs:
1. classical and advanced bar patterns and their statistical frequency
2. probability distributions of price expansions after certain bar patterns
3. bar information such as wick length in %, overlapping of the previous bar in % and many more
4. historical trend and consolidation analysis
If you use this breakout condition, the breakout is determined by the next signal (reversal, continuation, breakout) or trend change of the TRN bars after one of the harmonic patterns has been completed. These Breakout conditions give you the accurate trend recognition of the TRN Bars to find the perfect entry.
TRN Bars Signal
If a harmonic pattern gets completed and you use this breakout condition, the breakout will be determined by the next confirmed signal (reversal, continuation, breakout) of the TRN Bars. These Breakout Condition delivers signals with reenforced reliability, but they occur not as often as other breakout conditions.
RSI Crossing
With this breakout condition, a breakout for a long position gets determined, when the RSI line crosses above the RSI moving average (MA) after one of the harmonic patterns has been completed. A bearish breakout after a completed harmonic pattern gets determined, when the RSI line crosses below the RSI MA.
You can choose your preferred RSI and MA length in the indicator settings under the “Trade Management” section.
MACD Crossing
If a harmonic pattern gets completed and you use this breakout condition, the breakout gets determined, when the MACD line crosses above the signal line (bullish MACD crossover) for a bullish breakout. Conversely, when the MACD line crosses below the signal line (bearish MACD crossover), a bearish breakout gets determined after a harmonic pattern was completed.
You can choose your preferred MACD length in the indicator settings under the “Trade Management” section.
Swing Flip
Use this breakout condition, if you want a breakout to get determined when the next swing after point D gets detected by the build in swing detection algorithm of TRN Harmonics.
Close Below/Above Last 2 Lows/Highs
With this breakout condition, a breakout for a short position gets determined, if a close below the lows of the last 2 bars gets detected. For a long position, the breakout gets determined if a close above the highs of the last 2 bars gets detected.
Close Below/Above Last 3 Lows/Highs
In this scenario, a short position breakout is confirmed if the price closes below the lows of the previous 3 bars. Conversely, a long position breakout is confirmed if the price closes above the highs of the last 3 bars.
How To Setup Breakout Conditions
Go to indicator settings and choose one of our built-in breakout conditions under the section "Trade Management" of the menu item "Inputs", like for example TRN Bars Signal + Trend. A selection of 7 distinct breakout conditions is at your disposal.
Computation Details
The real-time detection of the harmonic patterns utilizes a unique swing-based pattern recognition. The difference to other swing-based computations is that the pivot points are identified without a look-ahead value. The result is a faster and better real-time detection. The tolerance level unites several internal parameters into one and results in a user-friendly setting.

How to Trade with the Harmonic Patterns Suite
Identify the Pattern
Add the Harmonic Patterns Suite to your chart and look for patterns on the asset and timeframe of your choice. The patterns are detected in real-time. If a pattern develops further in the next bars, then the indicator updates the pattern accordingly until a breakout is confirmed or the pattern becomes invalid.
You can also use the built-in alerts to easily get notified when a pattern occurs. In the indicator settings in the "Alerts" section you can choose whether you want to get notified when a pattern is
1. in the making (Pattern active),
2. confirms an up breakout (B/O Up Confirmed)
3. confirms a down breakout (B/O Down Confirmed)
4. (Unconfirmed) in case a pattern breakout occurs, even if the pattern is not yet confirmed
This allows you to stay informed about potential breakout opportunities that are still awaiting confirmation.
Check Pattern Statistics
The pattern statistics make it easy for you to see how successful a pattern is on the asset and timeframe you are watching. You should always check the statistics before entering a trade. The chart displays the statistics in the upper right corner. These statistics are categorized into two sections: "long" for patterns with an upward breakout and "short" for patterns with a downward breakout.
In the initial columns, labeled as "short" and "long", the identified breakouts are further divided based on the different harmonic patterns. The following columns represent the count of the events:
1. Occ. (Occurrence) categorized according to the values of R from the first column
2. TP1, TP2 (Take Profit) - targets 1 und 2
3. SL (Stop Loss)
4. T/O (Time Out) - neither stop loss or targets where hit in a certain amount of time
Breakout – Entry, Stop Loss and Targets
The indicator automatically displays the entry price line (EP) in grey at the point where the breakout got detected. Once a breakout has been confirmed, place a buy order near the EP level for a long position, or a sell order for a short position. Set your stop-loss at the price level of the red stop-loss line (SL) and set your take-profits at the price level of the green take-profit-lines (TP1, TP2).
Risk Management
The Harmonic Patterns Suite comes with a built-in risk management feature. Just go to the settings and scroll down to the section "Risk Management". Here you can enter your Account Size and the percentage you want to Risk when you enter a position after a pattern breakout.
In the "Trade Management" section, you have the option to define the minimum accepted risk-reward ratio for confirmed harmonic patterns. This means that breakouts of patterns failing to meet the minimum risk-reward ratio will not be considered as confirmed signals. If a breakout gets confirmed, the indicator automatically calculates the position size (Quantity). You can read the quantity from the gray entry point line (EP), which is located to the right of the risk-reward ratio (R). Note that your risk-reward ratio (R) is calculated based on TP1.
Customization and settings
The indicator can scan for smaller and larger patterns at the same time. Adjust the harmonics size in the indicator settings to align them with your preferences. A larger size results in larger consolidations. Depending on the asset class, the market or the market phase, different sizes can be used for pattern detection.
To detect more patterns, increase the tolerance level, even though it may result in lower accuracy. However, be mindful that a higher tolerance level may result in more patterns hitting their stop-loss. Look for a tolerance level that leads to favorable statistics and focus on trading patterns with a proven performance history.
Finally, you have the flexibility to customize various visual elements, such as the color of the pattern and whether to display values like price, target, or risk-reward ratio on your chart. You can also choose where these values appear.
Breakout Conditions
Identifying breakout conditions is paramount for successfully recognizing and capitalizing on chart patterns. Trading tools equipped with diverse breakout conditions offer traders a comprehensive approach to deciphering market trends and making informed decisions.

1. classical and advanced bar patterns and their statistical frequency
2. probability distributions of price expansions after certain bar patterns
3. bar information such as wick length in %, overlapping of the previous bar in % and many more
4. historical trend and consolidation analysis
If you use this breakout condition, the breakout is determined by the next signal (reversal, continuation, breakout) or trend change of the TRN bars after one of the harmonic patterns has been completed. These Breakout conditions give you the accurate trend recognition of the TRN Bars to find the perfect entry.
TRN Bars Signal
If a harmonic pattern gets completed and you use this breakout condition, the breakout will be determined by the next confirmed signal (reversal, continuation, breakout) of the TRN Bars. These Breakout Condition delivers signals with reenforced reliability, but they occur not as often as other breakout conditions.
RSI Crossing
With this breakout condition, a breakout for a long position gets determined, when the RSI line crosses above the RSI moving average (MA) after one of the harmonic patterns has been completed. A bearish breakout after a completed harmonic pattern gets determined, when the RSI line crosses below the RSI MA.
You can choose your preferred RSI and MA length in the indicator settings under the “Trade Management” section.
MACD Crossing
If a harmonic pattern gets completed and you use this breakout condition, the breakout gets determined, when the MACD line crosses above the signal line (bullish MACD crossover) for a bullish breakout. Conversely, when the MACD line crosses below the signal line (bearish MACD crossover), a bearish breakout gets determined after a harmonic pattern was completed.
You can choose your preferred MACD length in the indicator settings under the “Trade Management” section.
Swing Flip
Use this breakout condition, if you want a breakout to get determined when the next swing after point D gets detected by the build in swing detection algorithm of TRN Harmonics.
Close Below/Above Last 2 Lows/Highs
With this breakout condition, a breakout for a short position gets determined, if a close below the lows of the last 2 bars gets detected. For a long position, the breakout gets determined if a close above the highs of the last 2 bars gets detected.
Close Below/Above Last 3 Lows/Highs
In this scenario, a short position breakout is confirmed if the price closes below the lows of the previous 3 bars. Conversely, a long position breakout is confirmed if the price closes above the highs of the last 3 bars.
How To Setup Breakout Conditions
Go to indicator settings and choose one of our built-in breakout conditions under the section "Trade Management" of the menu item "Inputs", like for example TRN Bars Signal + Trend. A selection of 7 distinct breakout conditions is at your disposal.
If you use the default settings of the Harmonic Patterns Suite, TRN Bars Signal + Trend will be the breakout condition for the detected harmonic patterns.
Computation Details
The real-time detection of the harmonic patterns utilizes a unique swing-based pattern recognition. The difference to other swing-based computations is that the pivot points are identified without a look-ahead value. The result is a faster and better real-time detection. Furthermore, the detection of the ratios between the single swings is based on a dynamic volatility measurement similar to the ATR. The tolerance level unites several internal parameters into one and results in a user-friendly setting.

The "Three Drive" pattern is a well-known formation in technical analysis, recognized for its ability to signal potential trend reversals in price action. Within the realm of trading, particularly in the context of "Reversal Patterns," the Three Drive pattern holds significance as a reliable indicator of shifts in market sentiment.
🟣 Bullish 3 Drive
This pattern typically manifests at a price bottom, where a sequence of lower lows suggests a prevailing negative trend. However, within the structure of the Three Drive pattern, a notable occurrence unfolds.
The second low breaches the range of the first low, followed by the third low surpassing the range of the second low. These penetrations signify a diminishing selling pressure and an emerging buying interest.
Traders often await the confirmation of the third low surpassing the second low as an entry point, with price targets set at the highs formed within the Three Drive pattern.
🟣 Bearish 3 Drive
Conversely, the Bearish Three Drive pattern emerges at a price top, characterized by a sequence of higher highs indicating an upward trend. Yet, amidst this apparent bullish momentum, a shift occurs.
The second high breaks beyond the range of the first high, succeeded by the third high exceeding the range of the second high. These breaches signify a waning buying strength and a resurgence in selling pressure.
Entry into a trade is often executed after the confirmation of the third high surpassing the second high, with targets set at the lows formed within the Three Drive pattern.
Importance :
Understanding the Three Drive pattern's significance extends beyond mere technical analysis. It bears resemblance to other established patterns, such as the Harmonic Pattern and Ending Diagonal within the Elliott Wave Theory.
Recognizing these parallels aids traders in comprehending broader market dynamics and potential price movements.
🔵 Formation of 3 Drive in Order Block Zone
The convergence of the Three Drive pattern with the concept of the Order Block Zone introduces a nuanced layer to traders' analytical approach.
In "Price Action" methodology, Order Blocks represent areas on the price chart where significant market players, such as institutional traders, have executed notable orders.
These zones often act as barriers, with price encountering resistance or support upon reaching them.
When the Three Drive pattern forms within an Order Block Zone, it signifies a confluence of market dynamics.
The completion of the pattern within this zone suggests a potential reversal in the prevailing trend, augmented by the presence of significant institutional orders.
Traders incorporate these Order Blocks into their analysis to identify probable levels where price may change direction, enhancing the reliability of their trading decisions.
🔵 How to Use :
To effectively utilize the Three Drive pattern within the Order Block Zone, traders seek alignment between the completion of the pattern and the presence of significant Order Blocks.
This convergence enhances the reliability of the pattern's signals, increasing the likelihood of successful trade outcomes.

Three Drive [TradingFinder] 3 Drive Harmonic Pattern Indicator🔵 Introduction
The "Three Drive" pattern is one of the light "RTM" setups suitable for identifying price trend reversals. For this reason, this pattern is considered one of the "Reversal Patterns."
🟣 Bullish 3 Drive
At a price bottom, a formation occurs where the negative trend appears to continue, and lower lows are made.
However, the second low penetrates the range of the first low, and the third low penetrates the range of the second low, indicating a decrease in selling pressure and an increase in buying pressure.
Entry point is issued after the penetration of the third low to the second low, and targets are the highs formed in the "3 Drive."
🟣 Bearish 3 Drive
At a price top, a formation occurs where the positive trend appears to continue, and higher highs are made.
However, the second high penetrates the range of the first high, and the third high penetrates the range of the second high, indicating a decrease in buyers' strength and an increase in sellers' strength.
Entry point is issued after the penetration of the third high to the second high, and targets are the lows formed in the "3 Drive."
Importance :
This pattern bears a striking resemblance to the some of "Harmonic Pattern" and "Ending Diagonal" in the "Elliott Pattern".
🔵 How to Use
There is no need for further confirmation to use this pattern, and you can use it as soon as the pattern forms. However, to reduce errors, it is better to use this pattern when it forms within a "Supply and Demand" or "Support and Resistance" structure.

Harmonic Pattern Detection [LuxAlgo]Harmonic patterns make up a major part of the many patterns traders use to make investment decisions. The following tool aims to automatically categorize which XABCD harmonic pattern is highlighted by the user and to alert when the price reaches the PRZ or D point.
The tool can categorize Bat, Gartley, Butterfly, and Crab patterns.
Settings
XA Precision: The Gartley and Butterfly patterns require precise ratios for the XA segment, this setting allows giving some headroom for the detection of these patterns. For example, the Gartley pattern requires a ratio for the XA segment of 0.618, using an XA precision of 0.01 will allow the segment to be considered correct if above 0.608 and under 0.628.
Bullish: Color of a bullish pattern
Bearish: Color of a bearish pattern
The X, A, B, C, D settings determine the location of the harmonic pattern vertices. The user does not need to change them from the settings, instead only requiring adjusting their location on the chart like with a regular drawing tool. Setting these vertices is required when adding the indicator to your chart.
Usage
Upon setting the harmonic pattern vertices, the segments, as well as each ratio and PRZ, will be displayed. A dashboard in the top right displays which harmonic pattern has been detected.
Detected bearish crab pattern on BTCUSD15.
Bullish butterfly pattern on MATICUSD15. It is important not to use an XA precision value that would return overlapping ranges between the Gartley/Harmonic and other patterns. Using the default value is recommended.
The upper limit of the PRZ is determined as vertex D plus 38.2% of segment DX, while the lower limit is the vertex D minus 38.2% of segment DX. Various methods exist for the determination of the PRZ, this one is general but the user can use one proper to the detected harmonic pattern.
Finally hovering on the label highlighting the segment ratios return the proper ratio used by each harmonic pattern for that precise segment.
Auto Harmonic Pattern Recognition & Trading IndicatorThe Auto Harmonic Pattern recognition software is designed to take the heavy lifting out of a traders Harmonic trading strategy. The Software automatically Identifies, Draws, Labels and Projects Completion Zones for the 6 most trade-able Harmonic Patterns. If the Pattern Completes in the projected zone, then there is a high probability of the resulting trade being successful. There are automated Target levels for the resulting trade also.

Whether Swing Trading, Intra-day or Day Trading, our Auto Harmonic Pattern recognition software will pick up and project those patterns on any timeframe!
There is a limit of around 50 drawings (depending on server activity) per study in TradingView. This includes all labels and the lines used to draw the patterns themselves. To mitigate this there are options to enable/disable all of the drawings in the study to get more mileage (if we want to try and see the patterns drawn for bars much further back).
Ultimate Pattern Scanner ProChart Patterns and Harmonic Patterns using just ONE indicator!
This is a automatic scanner for well know patterns like Head and Shoulder to get started. I'm planning to add more patterns in the near future. It works as follows:
1. Is going to plot the pattern on the chart, lines in blue
2. Is going to show you when the pattern has finished to form, triangles and diamonds
3. It is possible to get an alert when the pattern has form
For example: is going to give a possible entry when the price has broken the trend line of the two shoulders if we take the Head and Shoulder pattern as an example.
Please let me know in the comments if you would like to have more patterns.
======================================================
This versions supports:
1. Head And Shoulder Pattern
- Show possible entries when the trend formed by the shoulders has been broken
2. Bat Harmonic Pattern
- Show Possible Reversals Zones in green or red boxes
- Alerts when any pattern has form
======================================================
======================================================
Next Versions:
- All the harmonic patterns
- Triangles
- Elliot Waves impulses
- Double Top and Bottom
- Triple top and bottom
- Rising and Falling Wedge
- The cup and the handle, etc
- ABCD pattern
Let me know in the comments if you are interested in something like this so I CAN GIVE YOU ACCESS. I'll appreciate your feedback.
