사례 연구 정보:

 

A trader identifies a Gartley pattern in a forex chart and plans a trade based on the pattern. The trader needs to understand how to identify harmonic patterns, the key levels and ratios used, and how to manage risk effectively.

 

가정적인 시나리오:

 

Imagine a trader named Liam who identifies a Gartley pattern in a forex chart. Liam needs to understand how to identify harmonic patterns, the key levels and ratios, and manage risk effectively when trading with these patterns.

 

Part 1: Identifying Harmonic Patterns

 

1부에 대한 정보:

 

Harmonic patterns are specific price patterns that follow Fibonacci ratios, used to identify potential reversal points in the market.

 

  • Common Harmonic Patterns:

    • Gartley Pattern: Identified by specific Fibonacci retracement and extension levels.
      • XA: Initial move.
      • AB: Retraces 61.8% of XA.
      • BC: Retraces 38.2% to 88.6% of AB.
      • CD: Extends to 78.6% of XA.

    • Bat Pattern: Similar to Gartley but with different Fibonacci levels.
      • XA: Initial move.
      • AB: Retraces 38.2% to 50% of XA.
      • BC: Retraces 38.2% to 88.6% of AB.
      • CD: Extends to 88.6% of XA.

    • Butterfly Pattern: Features a larger extension of the XA leg.
      • XA: Initial move.
      • AB: Retraces 78.6% of XA.
      • BC: Retraces 38.2% to 88.6% of AB.
      • CD: Extends to 127.2% to 161.8% of XA.

Understanding the key levels and ratios used in harmonic patterns is crucial for accurate identification and trading.

 

  • Gartley Pattern:
    • XA: Initial move.
    • AB: Retraces 61.8% of XA.
    • BC: Retraces 38.2% to 88.6% of AB.
    • CD: Extends to 78.6% of XA.

  • Bat Pattern:
    • XA: Initial move.
    • AB: Retraces 38.2% to 50% of XA.
    • BC: Retraces 38.2% to 88.6% of AB.
    • CD: Extends to 88.6% of XA.

  • Butterfly Pattern:
    • XA: Initial move.
    • AB: Retraces 78.6% of XA.
    • BC: Retraces 38.2% to 88.6% of AB.
    • CD: Extends to 127.2% to 161.8% of XA.

 

2부에 대한 질문:

 

  1. What are the key levels and ratios used in harmonic patterns?

  2. How can Liam use these levels and ratios to validate a Gartley pattern in the forex chart?

 

Part 3: Managing Risk with Harmonic Patterns

 

3부에 대한 정보:

 

Managing risk effectively when trading with harmonic patterns involves setting appropriate stop-loss orders and position sizes.

 

  • 위기 관리:
    • 손절매 주문: Set stop-loss orders just beyond the pattern’s invalidation point to limit potential losses.
    • Position Sizing: Adjust position sizes based on risk tolerance and the distance between the entry point and stop-loss level.

 

실제 세계의 예:

 

Trading with Harmonic Patterns:

 

  • Mark, an experienced trader, uses harmonic patterns to identify potential trading opportunities. He sets stop-loss orders just beyond the pattern’s invalidation point and adjusts position sizes to manage risk effectively.
