EDUCATION + WORK Harmonious pattern ABCD + "Three movements" BATI wrote a series of articles on harmonious patterns. On the coin, which I trade from time to time for about two years, a harmonious ABCD pattern is now formed. I decided to publish the information here on the site. I combined a teaching idea with a trading one. Immediately I showed the options for working on a coin, so as not to spam trading ideas and spend time on it. Below I will describe in detail. First, on working on the tool, and then below I will give a little training material. I’ll cut the text as much as possible, as I understand that people don’t want to read a lot of text, for some people this is an overwhelming task)))).
On the chart itself, I showed potential movements depending on the retention / breakout of local support / resistance levels.
______________________________
1 work option.
The price has almost reached point D, which could become a potential pivot point in this local movement.
ABCD is nothing more than part of the movement in the channel. Channel width 100%. Therefore, in case of confirmation of point D and a price reversal, the potential first profit is + 100%. If this happens, then the ABCD pattern is reorganized into a harmonious pattern of "Three movements." I have shown the areas of potential reversal and observation on this chart.
2 option work.
A variant of work if the ABCD pattern is not confirmed and point D does not become a price reversal zone. The formation of a triple bottom. Pivoting bullish shape.
The downward stopping zone I showed on the chart. I doubt that it will be pierced, how this will ruin the canvas for the work of the "artist" in the future.
To an important zone of resistance and confirmation of this figure + 100%
Full working out of the figure triple bottom + 300%.
Option 3 (unlikely)
If the price breaks through the support zone (green area) and is fixed in a downward movement below it. Then you should forget about trading this cryptocurrency and "turn gray on the fence" until a good entry point appears. But even in such a situation, when they will do a "trick", you can partially take the movement + 40%.
Note that in any movement options with the correct entry points (reversal zones), the risk is minimal, the profit is maximum, both locally in movements, and is possible when the trend develops and in the global one.
____________________________________
The previous trading idea for this coin in this pair, which gave + 40%.
Actually now, as in the global price forms a symmetrical triangle , this downward movement is nothing more than a pullback after breaking the triangle up.
The result after a while + 40%.
The same coin is only a trade for bitcoin .
BAT / BTC Fractal 2019. History repeats itself. Potential + 180%
And the result is + 40% and now rollback.
Notice, everything goes according to the fractal plan.

LEARNING MATERIAL on the theme of harmonious patterns ABCD and "Three movements".
1) ABCD pattern .
This is the simplest version of a harmonious pattern. Nevertheless, the figure is an important brick on the way to understanding the principles of constructing harmonic figures and, moreover, is part of most of them.
ABCD is a reversal pattern foreshadowing a change in market trends. That is, the figure helps to predict when the price ends the growth and prepares to fall, or vice versa, completes the fall and prepares for growth. A key feature of the pattern is the symmetry of the AB and CD knees.
The figure begins with a rise or fall in price on the segment AB. The BC segment is usually a sharp correction, the size of which should fit in 38.2% - 88.6% of AB. Ideally, the size of the correction should be from 61.8% to 78.6%.
At point C, the price reverses and continues to move parallel to segment AB. In this case, point D should be in the range of 113% - 261.8% of the knee BC .
The main rule is to observe the symmetry of the pattern. Ideally, the length of the elbow CD should be fully consistent with the length AB. That is, it means matching both in time and in price.
Rules for trading a pattern:
1) The length AB should correspond to the length of the CD.
2) The time it took for the price to go from point A to B should be similar to the time from C to D.
This harmonious ABCD pattern has two varieties:
1) Bearish pattern .
2) Bullish pattern .
Bearish ABCD pattern gives a sell signal.
Bullish pattern ABCD gives a buy signal.
TNT / USD 1 day. Harmonious bearish pattern ABCD .
ETH / USD 1 day. Harmonious bullish ABCD pattern.
In real trading on the market, there are a variety of variations of this pattern. But, it’s a good rule to observe the corresponding sizes of AB and CD corrections, since it is much more difficult to trade an asymmetric pattern. Asymmetric, incomprehensible patterns are better to skip.
If I trade such formations, then without a Fibonacci grid, I do not need it. I already see what she has to show. In most cases, this is a working analysis tool and at the beginning of your analysis you should use a Fibonacci grid.
In trading these formations, I use strong support / resistance levels, the symmetry of this formation and healthy logic in the calculations. Tradingview has a template for this harmonious ABCD pattern and the "three movements" pattern. This simplifies the work and makes it possible to quickly search for this formation on the chart.
______________________________________
2) Model of the pattern "Three movements".
The Three Movement model is a fairly well-known pattern. Its analogues can be found in wave analysis (diagonal triangle) and the book of Linda Raschke (three Indians). It is very reminiscent of ABCD , as if a continuation of this formation. This is a price movement in an upward or downward channel . In the framework of harmonious trading, we consider this model taking into account the Fibonacci ratios.
In the classic version of the "Three Movements" pattern, it is provided that movements 2 and 3 complete on projections 1.27 or 1.618. Correction of movements 1 and 2 - at the levels of 0.618 or 0.786. In the real market, models with ideal proportions are quite rare. Therefore, if you want to really earn money, get used to the fact that book "idealized" patterns in the real market are very rare. You need to be able to trade what is, and not what you want.
This model has a greater predictive property if it is in the expected end of the trend. Typically, the formation of the “Three Movements” is a signal that the market already does not have enough strength to continue the trend and perhaps the beginning of at least a correction.
This harmonious Three Movement pattern has two varieties:
1) Bearish pattern .
2) Bullish pattern .
LTC / USD 1 day. Harmonious bearish pattern "Three movements" ( ascending channel ).
In the example, we see that the upward trend price has broken, which triggered a trend reversal.
ETH / USD 1 day. Harmonious bullish pattern "Three movements" ( downward channel ).
As we see, the next correction wave reached the resistance line of the downward channel . The target is taken.
Learn to “predict” a more likely future. Always have different options for your work in a given situation. Work according to the basic plan, based on the situation that is being implemented.
In order to trade in a market in which the deposits of most traders are destroyed, you must have vast experience, and be a whole head taller for the rest.

Identifying supply & demand zone for swing tradingIn this video, I am going to how you how to identify supply and demand zone as support and resistance levels for swing trading, as a continuation of my previous video - identifying support and resistance for swing trading video. Feel free to watch below if you haven't done so:
There is one key factor that I pay attention to, which is the price spread. I would like to see big spread bar where the price accelerates to the upside or to the downside. If we have access to the volume, we will generally see high volume for those supply or demand bars. Those big spread bars will form the supply or demand zone.

LEARNING HOW TO TRADE: E1 SUPPORT AND RESISTANCE In this video I will be speaking on the very basics of learning how to trade the stock market. The concepts of support and resistance are undoubtedly two of the most highly discussed attributes of technical analysis. Part of analysing chart patterns, these terms are used by traders to refer to price levels on charts that tend to act as barriers, preventing the price of an asset from getting pushed in a certain direction.
I am currently learning how to trade and I have decided to start a video series to help me understand what I believe I understand by trying to teach it. I am also starting this series as a video record to look back on in the future.
Happy Trading
Bears vs. Bulls - ConsolidatingSimple Triple 70 MA with Momentum and ADX
Bears and Bulls are struggling for the lead as we're seeing consolidation in EUR/USD.
Be sure to check your work on this one as we could see a possible reversal in the near future. However, for now, make sure if you've taken a Long position earlier today to stay in and don't fall for consolidation until you have confirmation from multiple sources.
We could see a reversal and go down OR we could see another upward impulse move giving you more profit.
Be sure tho, to mark your Stop Losses to maximize your profits.

Commitment of traders reportWHAT IS IT
The Commitment Of Traders (CoT) is a report issued by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) , one of the most important trading insitutionsof the American government. The report has the purpose of transparently showing market dynamics to the all the people involved or interested in the matter.
The COT report show all currently open positions (open interest) of the future and options market, where 20 or more traders hold positions for an amount greater or equal to the minimum amount amount established by the CFTC .
The report is issued every Friday at 3:30 P.M. (Eastern Standard Time, hence UTC-5). Each report normally contains data until previous Tuesday. CFTC usually receives data on Wednesday morning from the reporting firms (i.e.: Future Commission Merchants, Financial Insititutions, Brokers or International Stock Exchanges). After some verifications, CFTC publish data the following Friday. For each market, data are provided in terms of existing (still open) LONG and SHORT positions.
TYPES OF REPORTS
There are 4 types of report:
1) Legacy
It contains data split by stock exchange. This report has two different variants: "futures only", that contains data related to the futures market only, and "combined", that contains aggregated data for futures and options market. All the reported positions in this report are split in two main market actors categories: Commercials (or Large Speculators) and Non-Commercials
2) Supplemental
It includes contracts related to 13 selected agricultural market commodities. This kind of report split positions in 3 market actors categories: Commercials (or Large Speculators), Non-Commercials and Index Traders. Differently from Legacy report, the Supplemental is provided in the "combined" format only, hence contains data for both futures and options market
3) Disaggregated
This report contains the same data issued in the Legacy report, but with a more detailed drill down in terms of representation. First of all, it presents data split in 5 macro-categories: Agriculture, Petroleum and Products, Natural Gas and Products, Electricity, Metals and Other. Moreover, the report shows open positions/interests of 4 market actors categories: Producer/Merchant/Processor/User, Swap Dealers, Managed Money e Other Reportables. Aggregating data of this report, it is possible to obtain same data of Legacy report, hence this is a detailed view of data contained in the Legacy report. The Disaggregated, as well as the Legacy one, is available as "futures only" and "combined" variants
4) Traders in Financial Futures (TFF)
This report includes contracts related to currencies, US Treasury Bonds, Eurodollar deposits, VIX shares and Bloomberg Index only. The reports shows open interests of 4 market actors categories: Dealer/Intermediary, Asset Manager/Institutional, Leveraged Funds e Other Reportables. Last, also this report is available as "futures only" and "combined" variants
REPORT FORMATS
Legacy and Disaggregated reports are provided in two formats: short (synthetic) and long (extended). Both these formats contain same data, but long format contains also the concentration of open positions in the hands of the major 4 and 8 market investors at the moment of data collection, while short format does not contains any data about concentration.
TFF report is available in long format only, while the Supplemental is available in the short format only.

Legacy report
As said above, market actors in Legacy report are divided in 2 categories:
Non-Commercials , or Large Speculators : they are market speculators as well as hedge funds. This category normally uses financial leverage to amplify variation of derivative asset and has an aggressive behavior in the market. They use rigid stop loss policies and, when the market falls below certain levels, they reverse positions on the other side. The main purpose of Large Speculators is not the asset they buy or sell, but to obtain a net profit from the buy/sell cycle. They normally have a trend following behavior.
Commercials buy futures just because they are interested in the underlying asset and try to hedge their financial exposition related to the commercial activity with the assets they are interested in. These market actors hold more than 50% of open positions in the US futures market and normally they go against the price trend: they sell when the market goes higher and they buy when the market goes lower. Their positions on underlying assets normally anticipate market trend, hence they should be carefully monitored
Non-Reportable : are the open position of small investors/traders that normally are on the wrong side of the market. This investors category is usually confused and not disciplined. They do not follow precise rules and are usually dragged by the trend, but they are slow to reverse positions when the market trend reverses.
The following example contains data about "futures only" market for BUTTER, coming from Chicago Mercantile Exchange.
BUTTER (CASH SETTLED) - CHICAGO MERCANTILE EXCHANGE Code-050642

NUMBER OF TRADERS IN EACH CATEGORY (TOTAL TRADERS: 47)
0 12 10 28 22 38 34
It is possible to see as in the report is provided the total amount of LONG and SHORT positions for Non-Commercial, Commercial and Non-Reportable actors. Variations from previous week are moreover reported.
In addiction to LONG and SHORT positions, Legacy report contains also the SPREAD amount, that is available for Non-Commercial only, and refers to contracts that are opened LONG and SHORT at the same time. Normally a growing SPREAD value means a high level of uncertainty.
If we calculate NET POSITIONS (NP) for the 3 actors categories, as it's easy to check, the report show a zero-sum scenario:
NP Non-Comm = 0 – 2,473 = - 2,473
NP Comm = 10,401 – 8,149 = 2,252
NP Non-Rept = 743 – 522 = 221
NP Non-Comm + NP Comm + NP Non-Rept = -2,473 + 2,252 + 221 = 0
OPEN INTEREST value is the grand total resulting as the sum of LONG, SHORT and SPREAD positions:
Open Interest = 0 + 453 + 10,401 + 743 = 11,597
Supplemental report
Even the Supplemental report (called also Commodity Index Traders - CIT) shows data in the same manner of Legacy report, but the market actors are 3: Non-Commercial, Commercial and Index Traders.
Non-Commercial and Commercial actors are the same, while Index Traders category has appeared for the first time in January 2007. Before that date, investors that are now reported in this category were scattered in the two existing categories (Non-Commercial and mostly in the Commercial). The creation of Index Traders category has had the purpose to separate that category from Commercials, because Index Traders are not involved in the buy/sell cycle of underlying assets, and are usually managed funds, institutional investors or swap dealers. Index traders are normally interested in passive and longstanding LONG positions, while are not interested in the short-term price fluctuations. It's not unusual that this category start buying when price is falling and technical analysis says that the price falling will be even more deep. Index Traders are hence a counter-part of speculators, who have usually a contrarian habit.
Supplemental report is provided for 13 commodities:
• WHEAT-SRW - CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE
• WHEAT-HRW - CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE
• CORN - CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE
• SOYBEANS - CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE
• SOYBEAN OIL - CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE
• SOYBEAN MEAL - CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE
• COTTON NO. 2 - ICE FUTURES U.S.
• LEAN HOGS - CHICAGO MERCANTILE EXCHANGE
• LIVE CATTLE - CHICAGO MERCANTILE EXCHANGE
• FEEDER CATTLE - CHICAGO MERCANTILE EXCHANGE
• COCOA - ICE FUTURES U.S.
• SUGAR NO. 11 - ICE FUTURES U.S.
• COFFEE C - ICE FUTURES U.S.
Disaggregated report
Market actors of Disaggregated report are:
Producer/Merchant/Processor/User : they are involved in production, handling, packaging or transport of physical assets that is underlying to the future instrument or option. These actors use futures to cover/hedge risks associated to the activities they are involved in that are strictly related to the production of the assets
Swap Dealers : they are subjects that are involved in trading swap contracts related to the commodity and uses futures market to cover/hedge risks associated with swap transactions. The counterpart of a Swap dealer could be a speculative traders, as well as an hedge fund, or a more traditional Commercial subject that is interested in managing risks associated with the commerce activities of the asset
Money manager : to this category belong Commodity Trading Advisor (CTA), Commodity Pool Operator (CPO) or an unregistered fund identified by the CFTC. These subjects are delegated from their clients to do financial operations in their behalf
Other Reportable : all speculative traders that are not belonging in the three previous category are included in this category
Even in this case, the report shows LONG, SHORT and SPREAD positions.
Comparing this kind of report with Legacy, we can see that:
COMMERCIAL = PRODUCER/MERCHANT/PROCESSOR/USER + SWAP DEALERS
NON-COMMERCIAL = MONEY MANAGER + OTHER REPORTABLE
This explains why the report is called "disaggregated". It shows the same data but with a more level of detail especially regarding the actors that hold open positions.
If we take the Disaggregated report about BUTTER for the "futures only" market coming from Chicago Mercantile Exchange (equivalent to the previous example that is showed under the Legacy report section, we see:
:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ :

If we take the categories Producer/Merchant/Processor/User and Swap Dealers and we sum all LONG positions and then subtract all SHORT positions, we obtain an overall NET positions like this:
NP = (8,893 +1,048 + 0 + 0) - (6,326 + 1,363) = 2,252
Now, if we do the same calculation for Commercial category of the correspondent Legacy report (see above) we obtain:
NP = 10,401 - 8,149 = 2,252
This is the confirmation that Disaggregated report contains the split of data reported in the Legacy report, where Commercial category is divided in Producer/Merchant/Processor/User and Swap Dealers. Same calculation would demonstrate that Non-Commercial category in the Legacy report is spitted here in Managed Money and Other Reportable categories.
If we now consider the Disaggregated report and we sum all LONG positions and then we subtract all SHORT positions for each actors category, we obtain:
(8,893 + 1,048 + 0 + 0) – (6,326 + 1,363 + 301 + 2,172) = 9941 - 10162 = -221
Given that the grand total should represent a zero-sum scenario, e can deduce from Disaggregated report that net position of Non-Reportable subjects should be +221, hence a net LONG of 221 contracts, and that is correct, in fact it is possible to obtain the same result from correspondent Legacy report (see above) by subtracting net SHORT position for Non-Reportable actors to the amount of net LONG positions for the same actors. Hence Disaggregated report allow us to calculato also net position of Non-Reportable, even if the data do not explicitly report the value.
Traders in financial futures report
This report is a further view on the market and split market actors in two sides (SELL and BUY) and 4 categories:
SELL SIDE
Dealer/Intermediary : are financial intermediaries who earn by the commissions related to the sell of financial products. Big banks and other financial entities are involved in this activities
BUY SIDE
Asset Manager/Institutional : they are insitutional investors, including pension funds, insurance companies and investment portfolio managers whose clients are mainly institutional entities
Leveraged funds : these are typically speculative funds (hedge funds) and various types of money managers, including the Commodity Trading Advisors (CTA) and the Commodity Pool Operators (CPO) not necessarily registered by CFTC. These subjects can be involved in hedging strategies and arbitrages on their own capital, or even third parties capital
Other reportable : these are all the traders that are not included in previous categories
Differently from Disaggregated report, the TFF report the positions of the mentioned actors categories are not an exact disaggregation of Commercial and Non-Commercial positions reported in the Legacy report. Here each actor belonging to one of the categories mentioned above could belong to the Commercial or the Non-Commercial category in the Legacy report, basing on the decision that CFTC takes during the report creation, that can be different time after time (i.e.: a subject that has already been considered a Commercial one in the beginning, can be shifted to Non-Commercial after a while, depending on the specific activities he is involved during the time, that can change as well). The TFF report is moreover available only in the LONG format
REPORT ANALYSIS
If we properly analyze data in the Commitment of Traders legacy report, we can determine the expectations of each market actor category regarding the market future.
The possibility to know the net positions of Commercial subjects (institutional investors) is the basis to understand the market sentiment. Their influence is, in fact, between 50% and 75% of the entire futures market of S&P500 and from 40% and 60% of Nasdaq100.
It is useful to point out that Commercial subjects, as well as the Non-Commercial, can take arbitrage or hedging positions, or, alternatively, put in place an active management of their portfolios by buying or selling futures on foreign (not US) markets, or, again, have open position on the futures' underlying assets and protect themselves from risks of price variations by taking opposite positions on the futures market. Hence the Commitment of Traders Report is an important thermometer to measure US stock exchange sentiment, but it isn't a tool that, alone, can allow us to predict how financial markets will move. It should be used (as usual) together with other indicators, tools, analysis and perspectives to have a better understanding of what is happening and a good approximation of what is going to happen (most likely).
Commercial subjects are active actors in the futures' underlying asset market and generally sell when the market (price) grows and buy when the price is more convenient (low), hence their activities are contrarian to the logic of speculators. For this reason the Commercial actors are often responsible of market moves and trends. They drag prices and the market with their activities, hence they anticipate and determine the market trends.
Non-Commercial subjects, viceversa, have opposite interests. They want to make money by price variations, hence they buy when the market shows growing prices and sell in the opposite conditions. This behavior is what we call "trend following" approach.
Here are some typical scenarios that we can find by analyzing the Commitment of Traders report:
1) If Non-Reportable actors (small/retail traders) are LONG and Commercial are SHORT, the Non-Reportable actors are most likely going to loose money because the price will go to to the side where Commercial are pushing it (down)
2) On the maximum levels of an asset price (i.e. near significant RESITANCE levels), Non-Reportable are likely pushed to SELL their positions. Then stop loss levels are likely hit and only after the price starts his falling stage
3) If Non-Commercial are LONG and Non-Reportable are SHORT, we are likely in the middle of an UPTREND and there is more space for the price to gro further
4) If Non-Commercial are LONG and also Non-Reportable are LONG, we are likely in the "euphoric" phase of the trend, hence the trend is going to finish soon
5) If Non-Commercial are SHORT, Non-Reportable are upgrading their SHORT positions and Comemrcial slow down their LONG positions, e re likely in the terminal phase of a downtrend
If we accept the hypothesis that Commercial traders hold better information on the market than the others just because they are active actors of the futures' underlying assets (it's their own business!), it is very important to monitor their behaviour in order to understand how they are evaluating the situation related to the specific commodity that is at the center of our interest.
Commitment of Traders Index
An interesting approach to have effective insights from the Commitment of Traders report can be obtained by calculating an index using the report data. Normally Comemrcial net positions are used to calculate the index as follows:
NP (Net Position) = Long Positions – Short Positions
Usually, an interval of 26 periods (weeks) is selected and the calculation to determine the index value is:
COT Index = * 100
The index, expressed as a pecentage value from 0 to 100, reflects net position of Commercials on the basis of last 26 periods. It can be used as an indicator of overbought and oversold zones and can be a good tool to understand where investors are moving.
The index can be also calculated for Non-Commercial or Non-Reportable positions.
Last, but not least, remember that Commitment Of Traders report is released every Friday evening, but contains data up until previous Tuesday, hence a "lagging" effect should be seriously considered in all the analysis that involves it.

5-0 pattern. Bearish + 20% and bullish model + 51% Real tradingI must say almost all of this movement I took. Short + 8% (instead of 20%). At long + 55%, entry into the long was lower than shown in this example. I will attach the trading idea for which I worked below. She was published here on January 22. I used other methods of analysis and work, but I used this method that I want to talk about as evidence for my methods. The graph shows a bearish pattern, which immediately turns into a bullish 5-0 pattern, a very rare phenomenon. And that's why I decided to make this idea of training.
I want to say that the 5-0 harmonious pattern is very widely used in other markets, rarely in the cryptocurrency, due to the very low professional preparedness of the participants in this market.
Trading in this pattern can be either profitable or unprofitable, in the first place it depends not on the method itself, but on the person who uses this method. The 5-0 pattern is effective in areas of potential trend reversal. Just the pair ETH / BTC was in such a zone.
The profitability of trade largely depends not on the method of trading, but on the ability to use it.
________________________________________
A bit of history.
Harmonic patterns are the development of the idea of ordinary geometric patterns, using Fibonacci levels to more accurately determine pivot points. By the way, I almost never use the Fibonacci levels, as I see without them, what they show. For beginners in trading, it is better to use them.
By the way, who did not know initially in the father of harmonious trading Harold Gartley there were no Fibonacci levels. Only more than 80 years after the creation of the theory and the successful application of Larry Pesavento in practice, did Scott Kearney begin to pervert and sculpt exact numbers for each pattern that are far from real application on the market. It’s not customary to talk about this, but their main business is not real trading, but selling books, unlike Harold Gartley, who was a successful trader in the 20-30s during the Great Depression and became a millionaire! This is not an imaginary millionaire trader, a seller of courses and books, but a real trader who made all his fortune on real trading.
In mid-1935, Harold published his best work and the first book, which, translated into Russian, was called "Profit in the Stock Market."
The initial circulation of this book totaled only 1,000 copies. This book was very popular among traders, despite its very high cost. The book was worth 1,500 dollars, at that time it was possible to buy three new Ford cars for this amount. This is many times higher than $ 1,500 nowadays. One fact is that his books, which were being sold at the height of the Great Depression, let us understand how high authority he enjoyed among the people of the world of finance. The name of the pattern is Gartley Butterfly, which bears the name of its discoverer.
Already after the death of Harold, Billy Jones bought from Harold Gartley's wife the patent rights to the book “Profit in the Stock Market”, then continued to print it in large volumes. And a "perverse improvement" in working methods for making money on book sales started. That's why I have such a negative attitude towards such "specialists."
You have to be, not seem to be.
________________________________________________
5-0 pattern.
Pattern 5-0 is the youngest harmonious model (it is a variation of it with the Fibonacci grid thanks to traders of books on TA). The model usually represents the first pullback of a significant reversal trend. This is a relatively new model with 4 segments and specific Fibonacci measurements of each point in its structure, which excludes the possibility of a flexible interpretation.
Formation of the figure begins with a slight movement of the market, in the direction of a previously existing trend (segment AB), which was preceded by a comparable depth correction (XA). Point B, in this case, should not be higher than the level of 161.8% of point X. This is a fundamental point. If point B "goes" higher, then almost certainly the trader is dealing with short-term correction and the continuation of the existing trend.
The segment of the aircraft, in relation to the segment AB, is formed in the range between 161.8% and 224%.
The CD segment is a correction within the framework of an emerging trend. The correction depth (according to the classical pattern algorithm) should be 50% of the BC segment.
5-0 pattern template measurements:
The segment AB should be from 1,130 - 1,618. before the XA extension.
The segment BC should be a continuation of the segment AB from 1.618 to 2.240.
Point D should be formed at the level of 0.5 segment BC.
The segment AB must be equal to the segment CD, (AB = CD).
_______________________________________________
There are bullish and bearish formations of this pattern on the market. The graph shows both variants of the 5-0 pattern.
Bullish 5-0 pattern.
As you can see, the structure of the price movement at the time of the formation of the 5-0 pattern is generally very similar to the model of the Dragon figure with the development of goals. I made the ideas of training on this model of a figure and will fix it in ideas under the article.
Point 0 - the beginning of the downward movement, point X - the first correction upward, point A - the completion of the correction and the beginning of the fall down, point B - the end of the fall and the beginning of the strong upward movement, should be located at a level between 1.13-1.618 from XA, that the point C - the completion of a strong upward movement should be located between 1.618-2.24 from AB, point D is the end of the fall and the beginning of the upward movement, here we are trying to enter the market. The input should be at the level of 50% correction from the BC.
Bearish 5-0 pattern.
The structure of the bearish model of the 5-0 pattern is remotely similar to the model of an asymmetric head and shoulders or an inverted Dragon figure with a working out target.
Point O is the beginning of growth and the beginning of the formation of the model, point X is the beginning of correction down, point A is the beginning of growth and completion of correction, point B is the end of growth, should be located at the Fibonacci projection level between levels 1.13-1.618, point C is the end of a strong fall and the beginning of growth, point D - completion of growth, the place where we should open a deal for sale should be at the level of 50% correction from the BC.
Conservative traders are looking for additional confirmation before entering the trade. The 5-0 pattern can be either bullish or bearish. Goals can be set at the discretion of the trader, as the pivot point may be the beginning of a new trend. The common stop loss levels lie beyond the structure level beyond point D or the next important level for the Fibonacci sequence.
_______________________________________
Objectives for this pattern.
As it is a reversal pattern, which can act as a reversal pattern of the whole trend (the emergence of a new trend). You understand that there can be no clear goals, unlike simple figures. If you really get to the beginning of a new trend, the goals can be huge. It is important here not to exit the market prematurely. So that your profit does not turn into a loss, use the movement of stop-loss as the upward movement develops, but take into account the volatility of the instrument.
In this example, on the chart on the ETH / BTC pair, you can clearly see what the goals for this pattern can be.
The bearish model made a profit of + 20%
Channel support stopped a further drop in prices.
The bullish model made a profit of + 51%
The first goal is the resistance of the rising channel + 18%, as we see the price there was delayed for some time.
From this zone the reverse corrective movement to the support of the channel could take place. But, the price has successfully overcome this zone.
In total, the profit is + 51% of the entry point (point D).
In two models, the profit in theory was + 20 + 51% = + 70%.
But the reality is different, I have a profit of + 8% + 55% = + 60%
I rounded the interest for a better understanding, I will say one thing, there was no liquidity at the maximum to reset a significant position, and therefore the profit is much less than the theoretical one on the schedule.
______________________________________
Violations of the pattern 5-0.
More than any other pattern, the 5-0 structure presents a unique opportunity for decision making when the area of opening positions breaks through. In all 5-0 models, the best moment to enter depends on various ratios within the structure. When trying to make a deal while forming an unsuccessful 5-0 pattern, the trader still needs to look at the prevailing trend and at models at smaller time intervals.
Of course, the 5-0 pattern is not an ultra-precise model, and it may not work out even in the most correct situations on the market. What to do if the price has broken through all levels and left the channel, in such cases, the authors of harmonious trading offer quality ideas for opening positions. The first target in this case may be the area of correction 0.886 from the entire movement. Therefore, if prices fell outside the channel and broke through the 50% area, then we should expect continued decline.

Advantages and disadvantages of pattern 5.0
Despite the popularity of this pattern, I would like to first consider the disadvantages of the pattern. The main of its shortcomings should be called the poor "recognition" of the figure. After all, not all formations in the real market, exactly correspond to the ideal book example. In this example, I used exactly the ideal option for the ease of presenting information, and a person who is interested in adding this pattern to his arsenal of trading can also look for more complex formations for work. I would advise beginners to look for ideal models for work, as they are more predictable.
The developers and "popularizers" of the pattern emphasize its versatility. In their opinion, the pattern works with equal efficiency on any trading instruments and at any time intervals. If in the first part this statement is undeniable, then with regard to timeframes, the use of the pattern raises many questions.
On short timeframes, this pattern is not effective due to the high content of "white noise" and which does not allow to clearly identify and build the boundaries of the pattern.
Over long periods of time, the created corridor is so wide that, in fact, it can only indicate the direction of the trend (and even then in the long term). Thus, the efficiency of using this figure very much depends on the correctly selected timeframe. The ideal timeframe for work is 4 hours-1 day.
Remember the most important thing, this 5-0 pattern is effective in areas of potential trend reversal.

I wrote above that I will attach trading ideas for this pair that I worked on. Which trading ideas made it possible to take profits in shorts + 8% and long + 55%.
1) This one worked in short when the head and shoulders formed. Published November 24th.
ETH / BTC Pivot Points. Ascending Triangle - Head and Shoulders
Result in short + 8%
2) The trading idea for which he worked in long. Published January 22.
ETH / BTC Coin operation. Reversal zones. Double bottom.
The result is now + 55%, the entrance was practically at the very minimum price when confirming support.
Perhaps we will see a reversal of the main trend by ETH18, if the price closes above the downtrend line (red line).
Also, in the idea of training on this graph, you probably all noticed which figure is being formed and how much you can earn from fulfilling its target.
Remember, trading is a game of probabilities.
Who trades from the situation created in the market - earns.
Who trades on the basis of what he wants - receives a loss.
The crowd trades out of their desires, not market probabilities. The crowd always loses.
From the pixels of thinking of individuals, a way of thinking of the crowd is created.
Thanks to the thinking and desires of the crowd, we earn.
The more stupid a society is, the higher the percentage of earnings in it is smart.
To earn, you need someone to lose money. No other way.
Under the article, I have fixed 31 learning ideas.
I didn’t even know that I already have so many of them.
Knowledge and experience are power!!!
Psychology. Traps. The reason and the possibility of pump +8200%I made the trading idea about this coin about trading in the channel this afternoon, and I remembered the miracles on the roller coaster of 2.5 years ago on this coin. After all, such games rarely come across in the market to leave such a colorful mark in memories. You do not often see pumps at 19 and 82 x, after accumulating 88 and 100 days. The numbers are not random. Pumping was with an acceptable volume for such a coin.
In my opinion, the project is scam, well, like everything in the crypto world. I absolutely do not believe in anything. I have only cold calculation in trading. No sympathy for scam. In my opinion, all crypto projects including everyone’s favorite “anonymous”, “decentralized” “Beethoven” are frauds, making real money thanks to stupid bidders. But, in addition to “making money” for those who believe that without doing anything, you can become a millionaire. I think the naive point of view is that the "big brother" wants to make all the poor and lazy people millionaires. But they believe in it, because they themselves are such. This faith and inaction will lead to sad consequences. In addition to making money on fools, the crypto market carries more interesting tasks. Which, in case of success of the experiment, will become a reality and the poor will become even poorer, states will receive unlimited power and control.
But, let's get back to this coin. The legend of the project is Blockchain's solution for the global dental industry. The legend, unlike other promising projects, is supported by the principle: “Someday we will turn the mountains”, at least by their activity. Confuses a large number of blocked coins. Which at the time of "X" can bring down the price on all exchanges to zero. Therefore, this coin is not for holding, but for speculation from a good entry point to the planned exit or exit from certain situations in the market. By the way, not one "holder" could not sell not only on the 80X pump, but in general I doubt that 2-3X even on the accumulation price, although I can be mistaken, as after the pump I did not monitor the transaction. Why, I will describe below.
I started trading this coin in late October or early November 2017. Started by accident. On another exchange, I fell into the "trap" that was made on this coin. A book of orders, the entire history of purchases / sales and the trades themselves in the market with bait were also very cleverly made, but here one zero in the price was superfluous. So in a second I remember about $ 600-700 evaporated. I began to understand, I understood what was happening, well, what happened, what happened. By the way, this case in the future made a lot of money, as this action began to be used en masse at one time mainly on exchanges such as Binance and HitBtc when listing coins. Each manipulation against you, with the correct understanding of the essence of the work, can be turned into a weapon against the manipulator.
Everyone can be wrong, including you. Your mistakes are an invaluable experience.
So the initial acquaintance with this coin was not very pleasant for me, but very useful for work in the future. Then I found where this coin is being traded with great liquidity and without "surprises." It turned out the HitBtc exchange. It was evident from the work on the coin that someone on this exchange was gaining a position on this asset. I quietly started to do it too. Immediately in my work I had not a small amount, but when I understood everything what was being done and on what scale, I substantially added money. Every day +10 20% to part of the position. Not a coin, but a cash cow. Paradoxically, no one wrote about this coin anywhere in the chats, including the exchange’s trobox. It was a taboo.
I will say this, this pump at first at 1900% then at 8200% for the majority of those who stuck to this instrument of trading was a big disappointment. Before the growth, after 1.5-2 months of work in accumulation with strong volatility , I increased the initial amount of entry many times. Traded inside the day. At first I copied the actions of the “major player”, but when my position on the coin grew decently - teamwork through numbers. The work is clear, not complicated, without risk.
But the elephant climbed into the market and began to tear down the walls. Perhaps this "elephant" was this major player or the exchange itself. At first, we wanted to keep the price from rising in order to keep the price in the corridor. But nothing came of it. Money forces were not equal.
The biggest disappointment is when about 70% of the position was thwarted by + 300%. I didn’t think that it was possible, as the position was not small, that’s buying + 300% as an obvious not healthy thing. But what happened, it happened. but then the price was pumped up + 1900%
All further price movements I had to work with those coins that remained. It is good that the high price gave a larger spread, and therefore more freedom to manipulate work within the day. Played by what was left. Gradually increasing the number of coins on rising prices. At any moment I could leave the market, like any exit price - for me there was already a profit. Above + 1000% of the accumulation zone the game stopped, I already had enough. That and the liquidity to work a large amount was not there already, the games began for the schedule, but not for earnings . Then the green light is very greedy and stupid people.
Be less greedy than other people and as a result you will be richer than other people.
Let me remind you that the price soared by more than + 8000%. Why did this happen? Why did manage to raise the price? Why were there mostly inadequate buyers, but no sellers? There are several reasons, I will partially describe what happened so that you see similar manipulations in the future and know what to do and what not to do. By the way, similar manipulations are now happening on some coins, I won’t write the name, how it will look like an advertisement. I don’t need that. But, or will they be able to repeat this? More likely no than yes.
___________________________________________________________________
THE REASONS FOR THE HUGE PRICE GROWTH AND THE ABSENCE OF SELLERS.
1) "Killing faith" in a long downtrend. 88 days from the day of listing. The course is just down. (but only for the hamster).
The main thing is to "kill faith" below, "give faith above." In the market, as a rule, those who in the “non-faith” phase say that they do not believe in perspective, in the “faith” phase they will most likely acquire. The world is cyclical, events go in cycles, the flow of the crowd is cyclical, the thinking of the governed lends itself to cycles.
2) Manipulation of the exchange with dcn / eth and dcn / btc pairs . This was the most important manipulation of the discharge of passengers. It was not possible to lower the price; nobody wanted to sell. They were not going to leave even at + 30% and above. In order to strengthen the dump, they announced a delist from the exchange of the dcn / btc pair.
It’s not the understanding of people that they really do not affect the price movement, but are just fuel in someone else’s game, which makes them this fuel for movement.
Whoever had a big position and the corresponding amount of BTC for the terrible visual presentation for hamsters put up walls pouring in them every time a huge sales volume with a gradual price rushing. At that time, the exchange blocked specifically on several days coins on the exchange’s account with many traders. But the panic sat on. Everyone wanted to leave the market, because it was very painful to watch how the price goes down. But they could not do anything, as for "technical reasons" the exchange blocked coins. But major market participants (perhaps the "exchange itself") held the idea of "killing the faith."
3) Bad news in front of the pump. There were a lot of big transfers to the exchange from wallets, many holders also surrendered ... Let me remind you the input / output was opened, but the trading account on this coin was blocked due to the fact that the dcn / btc pair will be delisting soon (those with orders were in this pair). Then, just before the delist of one of the DCN / BTC pairs, when the price dropped significantly by the game, all the accounts of the "traders" were unlocked. Naturally, everyone tried to sell on the market, because soon they would not sell where, as on the other pair there was no liquidity at all. Those who bought up naturally put up weak buy orders, so that hamsters had no hope of a price reversal.
A well-run crowd works like one very stupid person.
The interesting thing is the psychology of the crowd. I’m sure who sold “To get out at any price” after less than 3 weeks they bought from + 1000% and probably many people really got apathy for trading and a feeling of “lost profit” when the price during the pump reached + 8200% (82x) . It is probably painful to realize when you sell at a loss at the lowest price before the pump, and after such a short time you see such an increase.
4) Closed the input / output of coins before pumping coins naturally for "technical reasons". So no holder, with the exception of those who transferred coins to the exchange during the dump and did not have time to sell, could not use this pumped. Holders as always in flight ..
The more stupid a society is, the higher the percentage of earnings in it is for those who are smarter. Do not be one of many, be one among many.
5) After a while, the pair that was delisted from the exchange - DCN / BTC appeared again on the exchange.
6) Good news when pumping. On Twitter , the developers published the news in the manner: “DCN is the last hope of mankind” or “DCN will become the new Bitcoin” and similar nonsense in this spirit. In telegram chats, a similar FUD was also widely used. But the news has never moved or moved the price, they always move with money. News without money does not work. True, the crowd is convinced of the opposite.
7) The first pump at 1900% (19X) . So called "Hamster Pump", but my tongue does not turn + 1900% to call a hamster pump. But in this situation on this coin it was. I think any sane would go out without slowing down at such a price increase.
Then, after this pump, another pump happened, from the accumulation zone + 8200%. There were definitely no passengers on this pump anymore, therefore it was possible to raise the price in such a way by buying out own orders and making appearances of trade by luring hamsters.
Your first enemy is a lack of experience and knowledge. Your second enemy is greed and a sense of lost profits.
8) The presence of a lot of money from those who controlled the price. Without a good amount, this was not possible. You also need to consider that in addition to money ( btc ), it was necessary to have DCN coins "two or three bags" in order to direct the price. I think you understand who in this situation is the biggest player and initially has the most coins. Without an initially large position, it is very difficult for a trader to accumulate a large position in a short time, although in exceptional cases it is possible.
9) A clear, thoughtful, phased work plan for the manipulators in advance. Good knowledge of the psychology and thinking of the crowd.
This is an old thing, but it is possible for the conscious work and understanding of what is happening in reality in the bidding you will find this information useful. I think you understand that the exchange itself is partially involved in this manipulation. I do not think that exchanges will no longer sin by such manipulations. Be careful, be smart, don't be a herd.
If you understand what is happening in the trade - take part in the trade, if you do not understand - watch from the side.
I wish you all productive study and great profit in trade.
Tradingview Drawing Tools (part 1)In this tutorial, I show you where the different drawing tools are located, how to show/hide them, and how to delete them. I also begin showing you how to change their individuals settings so that they are only visible on specific time frames and how to change their individual styles.
THE BEAUTIFUL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CHART PATTERNSBefore I get into this it is important that you know the points A and B are not valid wave tags but are only on the chart for illustrative purposes.
When I first got into the markets, I found myself sticking to a bias based on any first sign or pattern I found on the chart. The beginning of my forex journey is a story full of losses and blowing of accounts. But that is a story for another day.
As time went on I observed and realized that the market is dynamic and hence different patterns develop as time proceeds and most time these patterns interact with each other. Since this revelation, I've been able to effectively know when to exit a trade and when it's safe to hold a position until it hits my target.
Citing an example above with the CADCHF. I took a short trade from point A about two weeks ago following the rejection of the upper weekly trendline and a break of a lower timeframe ascending channel. Riding to point B I realized I was approaching an area which has previously served as support and is in confluence with a lower daily trendline yet to be confirmed . But I decided to hold on bearing in mind that there was a possibility to break those barriers at the time.
As you can see price bounced from Point B and naturally one would panic and dump their position, but not if you know your stuff. Instead of leaving I moved my stop loss right above the suppl zone as you can see on the chart because a break above that would indicate a move to the upside. Observe how price rejected that level and formed a right shoulder right at the supply zone showing that the market wants to move lower.
This is how I effectively manage all my position- constant analysis to check for confirmation and invalidation levels. This is how every trader should treat their positions...with care and attention :)
Hope you all take something out of this.

30% WIN RATIO AND STILL PROFITABLE?-Trading psychology and Risk Hello traders!
-READ THIS DESCRIPTION FOR MORE INFORMATION!
-This tutorial is for people who are struggling with RISK MANAGEMENT and MONEY MANAGEMENT.
In this tutorial i will show you how to be profitable with 30% ratio.
But first i will explain you what is risk and reward.
-Risk is amount of money or percentage what are you willing to risk(lose).
-Reward is amount of money or percentage that you want to achieve.
When you decide to start trading or you are already trading but still struggling with risk and money management you should follow my advice to improve your trading.
I will give you few things to consider when you are trading forex markets.
I will give you 4 tips to follow to become more profitable:
1.Don't risk more than 3% of your total capital!
-Lets say you have 1000$ account and you want to start trading,you decide to risk 3% of your capital and that is 30$ with risk reward ratio 1:1 and you won 6 trades,you made +30$ of total profit.You have 60% win rate and you made only 3% of total return.WHY?I will explain in next paragraph!
2.Focus on RISK REWARD RATIO!
-With proper RISK REWARD RATIO you can win more % and more money while you have less than 60% win rate,let me explain!
Lets say you have 1000$ on your account and you decide to enter a trade.You are willing to risk 3% of your total capital BUT now your RISK REWARD RATIO is 1:3
What that means? That means that you are risking 3% to make 9% and with even lower win ratio you can be still profitable,you can survive this long term game!
-Lets say you have 60% win ratio like in previous situation but with 1:3 RISK REWARD RATIO.You won 6 trades and lose 4 BUT you lost 4% and you make 18% and at the end that is +12% of total return on your capital.You see same win ratio percentage but with way more better results than with 1:1 RISK REWARD RATIO!
-You lost 40$(4% of total account balance) and you win 180$(18% of total account balance).
-You put stop loss lets say 50 pips and you put take profit at 150 pips for example.
3.Let winners run and cut your losses at proper time!
-Lets say you put your stop loss 100 pips above you sell order and the price went strong bullish and you see that the price will hit your stop loss but you hope that trend will reverse or something like that,...Don't do that! WHY?
In trading you should be aware that your emotions will affect your final results!
-When trading you will feel lot of different emotions such as;fear,joy,hope,greed,impatience and so on.
Let me explain something about that emotions for you!
-FEAR-You face fear in few situations,first situation is when your trade is in profit but you have fear of losing that trade and you close with few pips in profit instead letting it run until profit target,...Second situation where you face fear is when you put too much orders of same pair and all pairs went in negative direction.
-ADVICE FOR YOU:Risk amount that you can cover with win trades,lets say risk 1 to get 3 and if you lose 3 trades you will cover your loses with that one trade and do not open to much same positions!
-JOY;Joy is good in life but in trading can be very very bad!WHY???
Lets say you won 3 trades in the row and now you feel very happy and you think that you are master of trading now,...In next trade you decide to put bigger lot and you lose that trade,What now? In one trade you lost all your profit from your previous win trades or even more!
-ADVICE FOR YOU:Sometimes you will win sometimes you will lose but that is part of the game,it is okay to celebrate your wins but you need to be aware that loses are part of the game too.Also when you win some trades do not increase your lot to much because you think you are now master of forex.
-HOPE;It is good to have hope in life(health,health of your family) but in trading hope can erase you all account balance!HOW?
-Lets say you put trade and you see that trade is going in wrong direction and you know that price will hit your stop loss but you HOPE that trend is going to change somehow but at the end you ended up with loss,and you known that you are going to lose and you did not cut off that trade because of HOPE!
-ADVICE FOR YOU;Cut off your losing trades and let your winners run!
-GREED;Remember this;BEARS WIN,BULLS WIN BUT PIGS ALWAYS GET SLAUGHTERED!-What that means?Pigs are greedy and greed will destroy your confidence and your account balance.
-ADVICE FOR YOU;Let your winners run and don not be greedy when you see little profit and you decide to close the trade,do not over trade,if you have bad day,you have more loses than wins,do not trade more because all you want is profit.You will have new opportunity tomorrow!
-IMPATIENCE:Impatience is big enemy of traders!Always be patient and disciplined about your trading!
4. 30% AND STILL PROFITABLE?-Do not focus on money focus on %
-I will show you simple formula how to calculate your RISK REWARD RATIO and this is how it goes;
-1:3 risk reward ratio with 30% win rate, so you have 7 loses and 3 wins if you take 10 trades.
= -7x1+3x3
= -7+9
= +2%
I will explain you why is like this;
-You lose 7 trades and per every trade you lose 1% so you lost 7 trades and that is 7%
-You won just 3 trades BUT with 1:3 risk reward you get for every win 3% in return so that is 3x3=9%
At the end you ended up with +2% in profit with just 30% win rate!
Lets do another example but with 1:4 RISK REWARD RATIO
-1:4 risk reward ratio with 30% win rate,you lose 7 and you win 3 if you take 10 trades.
= -7x1+3x4
= -7+12
= +5%
-Look at this now 30% win rate and you are still profitable!
-With 1:4 risk reward ratio you can lose 7 trades and win JUST 3 trades and you are still profitable!
-You lose 7(-7x1 ) trades but for every trade that you lose,you lose 1% and for every win trade you win 4% in return so that is 3x4=12
-At the end you ended up with +5% in profit with just 30% win ratio!
5.CONCLUSION
At the end i will tell you what you need to learn from this;
-Don not risk more than 3%
-Focus on RISK REWARD RATIO
-Do not let emotions ruin your trading
-Do not focus on money focus on %(total return at the end of trade)
